Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers and serving as a major transit point for global connections; it sits approximately 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, with airport shuttle buses, Havaist coaches (around 60–90 minutes depending on traffic), taxis (roughly 45–75 minutes) and a highway link—fares usually range from modest coach rates to higher taxi fares. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is typically favored by many low-cost and regional airlines; it’s about 35–50 km from downtown European Istanbul but nearer to Asian-side neighborhoods, accessible by dedicated shuttles, buses and taxis in roughly 45–90 minutes. IST can be more convenient for international transfers and offers extensive facilities, while SAW can be cheaper for budget carriers and easier for travelers headed to Asian districts; both can be affected by heavy traffic, so allow extra time.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is the region’s primary international hub, serving legacy carriers like Delta alongside several international and domestic airlines; it typically functions as the main gateway for long-haul and connecting flights. Located about 20–25 miles southwest of downtown Detroit, travel to the center can take roughly 25–40 minutes by car depending on traffic; rideshares and taxis commonly cost in the mid tens to low twenties, while the SMART bus and airport shuttle options may be cheaper but slower. DTW offers extensive amenities and multiple terminals for frequent connections, though peak-hour traffic and terminal walks can add time and complexity. For budget-oriented travelers, nearby Willow Run (YIP) historically handled some low-cost or cargo operations but is farther from downtown and less service-heavy.
