Istanbul's air traffic is split between the recently opened Istanbul Airport (IST), positioned as the city’s main international hub, and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side, which often serves low-cost and regional carriers. IST typically handles long-haul and full-service flights and can be perceived as pricier on some routes, while SAW is commonly used by budget airlines and charter services. IST sits about 40–50 km from central areas like Taksim or Sultanahmet; travel by taxi or rideshare can take 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, and public metro options connect to the city for a moderate fare. SAW is roughly 35–45 km from the historic center, with shuttle buses and express services taking about 60–90 minutes; taxis are faster but cost more. IST generally offers more modern facilities and international connections, whereas SAW can be more convenient for low-cost travelers and those heading to the Asian suburbs — consider transfer times and peak traffic when choosing between convenience and price.

King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) is Jeddah’s main international gateway and typically functions as a large hub for national and regional carriers, with a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines serving domestic and long-haul routes. The airport sits roughly 19–35 km north of the city center depending on which terminal you use, and travel times can range from about 25–60 minutes by car. Ground connections include taxis and ride-hailing (often the fastest option), airport shuttles and private transfers; public bus links exist but can be slower and less frequent. Fares are usually moderate for taxis/ride-hails and can be higher during peak hours. Pros: extensive international connections and modern passenger facilities; cons: traffic to central Jeddah and variable waiting times at security and customs during busy periods.
