Istanbul Airport (IST) serves as Turkey’s primary international hub and handles most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, including Turkish Airlines’ extensive network. It’s located on the city’s European side, roughly 35–50 km from the historic centre depending on route and traffic. Ground links include Havaist and municipality buses (about 60–90 minutes, fares typically in the mid-range), taxi services (variable time/cost), and newly expanded metro connections that can cut travel to around 40–60 minutes. Pros: modern facilities, numerous lounges and international connections; cons: distance from central districts and travel times can be long during rush hours. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) operates as Istanbul’s main budget and secondary international airport on the Asian side and often hosts low-cost and charter carriers. It sits approximately 35–45 km from central Istanbul, with airport shuttles and Havatas/Havaist buses offering 60–90 minute transfers at modest fares, plus taxis and a commuter rail link that can be faster depending on transfer points. Pros: typically lower fares on budget airlines and less congestion in terminals; cons: fewer long-haul options and longer surface travel to some European-side attractions. Travel time and price can vary with traffic and service choice.
