Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, often positioned as the premium gateway; it sits about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, with journey times typically 35–60 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle and public bus links in the 30–60 TRY range depending on route. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) operates as a cost-competitive base for many low-cost and regional airlines on the city’s Asian side, roughly 45–60 minutes from central districts by taxi or Havatas shuttle and served by budget buses or metro connections at modest fares. Pros: broad route choice and frequent services; Cons: longer transit to some central neighborhoods and occasional heavy traffic, so allow extra time for transfers.

Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) is Jakarta’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for carriers such as Garuda Indonesia and a focus city for several foreign airlines, while housing many full-service and low-cost operators. Located roughly 20–25 km northwest of central Jakarta, transfer times vary from 45 minutes to over 2 hours depending on traffic; taxis and app-based rides typically cost in the range of IDR 150–350k, while the airport rail link reaches Sudirman/central stations in about 30–50 minutes for a modest fare. Pros: comprehensive services, numerous international connections and extensive ground transport; cons: congestion, potentially long immigration and baggage waits during peak periods. Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP) serves domestic and some regional flights and often functions as a convenient alternative for business travelers and private aviation. Situated roughly 10–15 km southeast of downtown Jakarta, travel to the city center can take about 30–60 minutes in typical traffic; taxis and ride-hailing services are common with fares typically lower than from the larger airport but variable with congestion. Pros: closer to central Jakarta and generally faster for short-haul flights; cons: fewer international options and more limited ground transport links compared with Soekarno–Hatta.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Jakarta vary: minimum — $278 (September 2026), maximum — $450 (July 2026). Typically, the flight costs $320–$592.
