Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international gateway and a modern long‑haul hub that typically handles flag carriers and many full‑service international airlines; it can be pricier for last‑minute fares but often offers competitive options on major routes. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center (Taksim/Sultanahmet), travel times range from roughly 30–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or about 40–60 minutes by Havaist shuttle buses (fares usually moderate). The new metro link and private shuttles make transfers straightforward, though journeys can be longer at peak hours; pros are extensive facilities and connections, cons can be distance to core tourist areas and occasional congestion. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) on the Asian side functions more as a budget and secondary international airport, commonly serving low‑cost carriers and regional flights; fares are often perceived as lower for leisure routes. It lies roughly 35–45 km from central European Istanbul and 20–30 km from Kadıköy, with travel times typically 40–90 minutes by Havabus or municipal buses and 30–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, fares usually lower than central shuttle services. The airport is convenient for eastern Istanbul neighborhoods and some domestic connections, though it can be less convenient for travelers staying on the European side and may require longer cross‑city transfers.

Fukuoka Airport (FUK) functions as Kyushu’s primary international gateway and a busy domestic hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines that make it practical for both business and leisure travelers. The airport is unusually close to the city center—about 5–6 km—so taxis and subway are quick options: the Kuko Line takes roughly 5 minutes to Hakata Station, while taxis can be 10–20 minutes depending on traffic; expect modest fares for public transit and higher taxi costs. Ground transport is convenient for onward connections, though terminals can be crowded during peak hours. Pros: very short transfer times and frequent services; cons: limited space and occasional congestion.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Fukuoka vary: minimum — $424 (December 2025), maximum — $504 (June 2026). Typically, the flight costs $454–$938.
