Istanbul is served by two main airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic and hosting full-service carriers such as Turkish Airlines alongside many global airlines; fares here can be mid-to-high depending on season. It sits roughly 35–50 km from the historic city center, with travel options including the Havaş shuttle, municipal buses, taxi rides (around 30–60 minutes depending on traffic) and a metro line connection; shuttle and bus fares are typically modest while taxis can be noticeably more expensive. Pros: modern facilities and wide route choice; cons: travel times to central Istanbul can be long and vary with congestion. Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), located on the Asian side, often acts as the budget and low-cost carrier base for the city, serving many regional and European routes with airlines like Pegasus and several charter operators. It’s about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet or Taksim, and is usually more affordable in terms of ticket pricing for short-haul flights. Ground transport includes Havaş and local shuttle buses, municipal buses and taxis, plus a growing suburban rail and metro connection in phases; journey times typically range from 45–90 minutes and fares are generally economical for buses and shuttles. Pros: often cheaper fares and shorter queues; cons: fewer long-haul choices and longer transfers if your final destination is on the opposite side of the city.

Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) is the city’s primary international gateway and a growing regional hub, serving a mix of full‑service Chinese carriers and low‑cost airlines on domestic and international routes. It’s located about 27–35 km east of downtown Hangzhou, with express trains taking roughly 20–30 minutes and airport shuttle buses 40–60 minutes; taxi or ride‑hailing trips can take around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, usually costing more than public transport. The airport typically offers modern terminal facilities, lounges and good transit connections, though peak periods can mean busy security lines and longer transfer times. For budget-minded travelers, HGH can be competitively priced on domestic routes, while international fares vary.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Istanbul to Hangzhou is $323 (January 2026), while the maximum is $418 (March 2026). On average, a ticket costs $355–$356.
