Istanbul is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and carrier network traffic—expect major airlines and full-service carriers—while Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often positioned as a budget and regional alternative popular with low-cost carriers and domestic flights. IST sits roughly 35–50 km from the historic city center depending on route and can take 30–60+ minutes by taxi or 40–90 minutes by Havaist shuttle/bus; fares usually range from moderate to higher-end for taxis and are typically lower for shuttles. SAW is about 45–60 km from central tourist areas, often 45–75 minutes by road; public buses and Havatas/Havabus shuttles are common and usually cheaper than taxis. Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be more budget-friendly and less congested for some routes. Cons: both can face heavy traffic to/from the center at peak times and transfer between airports can be time-consuming, so build in extra time for tight connections.

Fly nonstop from Istanbul to Cincinnati for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Europe and the American Midwest — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time for what matters. While connections can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves you hours and delivers a more comfortable travel experience, making it a smart choice for business trips or relaxed getaways alike.

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), located across the Ohio River in Hebron, KY about 13–16 miles from downtown Cincinnati, serves as a mixed hub: historically a regional international gateway and a growing cargo and low-cost carrier base. You’ll typically find a mix of legacy carriers on mainline routes alongside budget airlines offering lower-cost domestic and leisure connections. Ground transport options include shared shuttle vans and rideshares (roughly 20–35 minutes, fares varying with demand), airport taxis, and rental cars; an occasional express bus can take closer to 35–50 minutes depending on traffic, with transit fares usually modest. Pros: generally easier parking and shorter security lines than larger hubs; cons: location across the river can add extra transfer time and fewer nonstop long-haul options compared with larger coastal hubs.
