Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub handling most long-haul and major carrier traffic; it’s located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center and typically takes 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or around 40–60 minutes by Havaist shuttle buses with fares generally in the mid-range for airport coaches. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) sits on the Asian side and can be a more budget-oriented option for low-cost and some regional carriers; it’s roughly 35–45 km from central neighborhoods and usually reachable in 45–75 minutes by taxi or 60–90 minutes by public bus, often at lower fares. IST offers broader connections and more on-site amenities, while SAW can be cheaper and easier for eastern approaches but may mean longer cross-city transfers.
Cotonou Cadjehoun Airport (COO) serves as Benin’s primary international gateway and typically functions as a compact hub for regional and some long-haul services rather than a large premium transfer point. Airlines operating here are often regional carriers and a handful of international lines, and fares can feel budget-friendly compared with larger West African hubs, though prices vary by season. The airport sits about 6–8 km from central Cotonou; road transfers usually take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and shared minibuses the main options — fares commonly range from a few hundred to a couple thousand CFA francs. Pros: short transfer times and basic facilities; cons: limited lounges, fewer retail choices, and irregular flight frequencies compared with bigger international airports.
