Istanbul is served by two primary airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the newer international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located roughly 35–45 km northwest of the city center, with metro, bus and taxi links typically taking 35–60 minutes and fares ranging from moderate to higher depending on mode. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) sits on the Asian side and often caters to low-cost and regional carriers; it’s about 35–45 km southeast of central areas, with shuttles, buses and shared transfers taking around 45–75 minutes at generally lower fares. Pros: IST offers broader international connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper and less congested for budget travelers. Cons: both can involve lengthy transfers across the metropolis and peak traffic can add time and cost.
Iași International Airport (IAS) is the main gateway for Moldova region and northeastern Romania, serving both international and domestic flights and typically handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers. It is usually positioned as a regional hub rather than a major European transfer point, with common operators including Romanian flag-carriers and budget airlines offering seasonal routes. The airport lies about 8–10 km east of Iași city centre; taxis and app-based rides typically take 15–25 minutes while local buses/trams can take 25–40 minutes for lower fares. Pros: compact terminal with relatively short walking distances and quick arrivals; cons: fewer long-haul connections and more limited late-night services than larger hubs.
