Istanbul’s airports serve distinct roles: Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international hub handling long-haul carriers and full-service airlines, while Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) typically caters to low-cost and regional operators. IST sits roughly 40–50 km northwest of the historic center; journey times can range from about 40–60 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle and around 45–75 minutes by Havaş or public bus (fares vary by service). SAW is located on the Asian side, about 35–45 km from central areas with transfers usually taking 45–70 minutes. Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper and less congested for budget carriers. Cons: both airports can involve long transfers to the city during peak traffic and fares depend on chosen transport mode.
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is Portugal’s primary international gateway and typically functions as both a long-haul hub and a focal point for European and low-cost carriers, so you’ll find a mix of full-service and budget airlines. The airport sits about 7 km (4–5 miles) northeast of the city center; the metro Red Line connects to downtown in roughly 20–30 minutes with fares usually in the low euro range, while taxis or ride-hailing rides can take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Shuttle buses and regional trains are also options for surrounding areas. Pros: frequent international connections and fast metro access; cons: can be busy during peak seasons and some terminals feel cramped for transfer passengers.
