Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international hub and handles the bulk of long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, so it’s typically where you’ll find global airlines alongside major Turkish carriers. Located on the European side about 35–50 km northwest of the historic centre, journey times vary from roughly 40–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or about 45–60 minutes by Havaist and public buses (fares usually range from low to moderate). The new airport offers modern facilities and extensive connections, though transfers can be long and ground transport costs may be higher than from smaller fields. Pros: wide choice of routes and amenities; cons: distance from central Istanbul and occasional heavy road congestion.
Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is Istanbul’s secondary international airport on the Asian side and often serves low-cost and charter airlines as well as some full-service carriers. It’s typically perceived as more budget-friendly for point-to-point fares, particularly for European and regional flights. SAW sits roughly 35–50 km southeast of central Sultanahmet/Karaköy, with travel times usually around 45–75 minutes by taxi or about 60–90 minutes by public bus and commuter services, with fares generally on the lower side. The airport can be more convenient for travellers based on the Asian side or seeking cheaper options, but it may have fewer long-haul connections and can get crowded during peak periods.
