Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul carriers and many global alliances; flights here can be mid- to higher-priced relative to smaller airports. It lies about 35–50 km from the historic center, with the airport metro, express buses and taxis usually taking 40–75 minutes depending on traffic and costing from moderate public-transport fares up to higher taxi fares. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is typically a budget- and low-cost-carrier focus for regional and European routes, around 40–60 km from central areas; shuttle buses, buses and taxis take roughly 45–90 minutes with generally lower average fares. Pros: IST offers wide connections and newer facilities; SAW can be cheaper for low-cost airlines. Cons: both can involve long transfers and variable traffic delays, so allow extra time for connections.
Kaunas Airport (KUN) is Lithuania's second airport, typically serving a mix of low-cost and regional carriers rather than large intercontinental hubs, so fares can be competitive for European routes. It sits about 15 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from Kaunas city centre; transfers are usually by bus, taxi or private transfer — public buses and shuttles often take 30–40 minutes and can be very affordable, while taxis or rideshares are quicker but cost more. The airport is compact and generally easy to navigate, which can mean shorter walking distances and faster processing, but services and shopping options are more limited compared with major international hubs. Overall it’s a convenient choice for budget-minded travelers to central Lithuania.
