Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers and can be somewhat pricier on average; it sits about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center and is usually reached in 35–60 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle depending on traffic (fares typically vary). Public options include Havaist and IETT buses plus a growing rail connection that can shorten transfers. Pros: modern facilities and many flight choices; cons: longer transfer distances and possible heavy traffic. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions more as a budget and low-cost carrier base on the Asian side, roughly 45–60 minutes from central districts by road. Buses, airport shuttles, and taxis connect to Kadıköy, Taksim, and the ferry piers; travel time and cost can fluctuate with peak traffic. Pros: often cheaper fares and less crowded terminal areas for low-cost carriers; cons: longer cross-city transfers if you need to reach the European side.
Dushanbe International Airport (DYU) is Tajikistan’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service and regional carriers, including national airline services and several budget/charter operators. It’s located roughly 10–15 km southeast of the city centre, with travel times to central Dushanbe usually around 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Ground options include taxis (metered or fixed-rate), shared minibuses, and occasional hotel shuttles; fares can vary from modest fixed taxi rates to lower-cost minibus seats. The airport is generally compact and functional, so transit can be straightforward, though facilities may be simpler than larger hubs and peak-time waits can occur.
