Johannesburg is served primarily by O.R. Tambo International (JNB), the country’s main international hub that handles most long-haul and regional flights and typically hosts legacy carriers as well as several full-service and low-cost airlines. It is about 25–30 km east of the city center, with Gautrain rapid rail connecting the airport to Sandton and central Johannesburg in roughly 20–25 minutes (fares usually in the mid-range) and metered taxis or ride-hailing taking about 25–45 minutes depending on traffic. For lower-cost domestic travel, Lanseria (HLA) can be an alternative; it is northwest of the city and often used by regional and budget operators, offering shorter queues but fewer amenities. Pros: JNB is well connected with frequent flights and solid ground transport links; cons: it can be busy with variable transfer times and typical urban congestion on the roads.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often positioning as the premium option; it sits about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center. Typical transfers include taxis (roughly 35–60 minutes depending on traffic), the Havaist airport shuttle buses (45–75 minutes) and the M11 metro line which links to the city rail network (travel times vary), with fares usually higher than local buses but competitive for convenience. Pros: modern facilities, many lounges and nonstop connections. Cons: longer transfers and variable traffic delays into the heart of the city. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) typically serves more low-cost and regional carriers and can be a budget-friendly choice for domestic and short-haul flights. Located on the Asian side about 35–50 km from central Sultanahmet, common transfers include Havabus shuttles and municipal buses (travel times often 60–90 minutes), taxis (45–75 minutes) and commuter ferry plus bus combos depending on route; fares are commonly lower than premium express options though journeys can take longer. Pros: often cheaper fares and less crowded terminals; cons: fewer long-haul connections and longer, less direct transfers to some central areas.
