Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international gateway and a major long-haul hub that typically handles premium carriers alongside many full-service and some low-cost airlines. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, transfer times to Sultanahmet or Taksim are commonly 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares often reflecting the distance; the Havaist airport shuttle and municipal buses offer 60–90 minute rides at modest per-person fares, while a dedicated metro line provides a faster rail link for many districts. Pros: modern facilities, extensive international connections and wide dining/shopping options; cons: distance from central neighborhoods and potential for lengthy ground transfers during peak traffic.

The airport can be busier and pricier during high season but typically offers frequent flight choices and competitive options. Pros: wide range of services and many international connections. Cons: can be crowded and transfers into resort areas sometimes add time and cost.
