Istanbul Airport (IST) serves as Turkey’s primary international hub and the city’s main long-haul gateway, handling most full-service carriers and many global connections. It’s located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic city center; metro and airport shuttle buses typically take 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, while taxis can be 40–70 minutes and usually cost more. The airport is modern and spacious, with extensive lounges and retail options—convenient for international transfers but sometimes a longer transit to central neighborhoods. Main pros: wide route network, modern facilities and frequent public-transport links. Cons: distance from the old city and variable travel times during peak hours. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is Istanbul’s secondary airport on the Asian side, commonly used by low-cost and regional carriers as well as some scheduled internationals. It sits roughly 35–45 km southeast of central Istanbul, with Havatas shuttles and buses typically taking 45–75 minutes and rideshare or taxis often 35–60 minutes depending on traffic. SAW can be a more budget-friendly option for point-to-point travelers and usually has simpler, compact terminals—helpful for quick turnarounds but sometimes busier with budget-flight peaks. Pros: often shorter waiting times for low-cost carriers and easier parking. Cons: fewer long-haul connections and longer transfers if you need to cross to the European side.
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Scotland’s primary international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre; taxis and ride-hailing usually take around 25–35 minutes, while an express tram service links the terminal to Princes Street in roughly 30–40 minutes with fares typically in the low single digits. Local buses offer slower but cheaper connections. Pros: a compact terminal with frequent flights and decent public-transport links. Cons: it can be busy at peak times and transfer times may vary with traffic.
