Cheap Flights from Istanbul to Liverpool Starting at $106

Istanbul is served by two main airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some networked regional flights; it tends to be viewed as mid-to-premium in service and price. The airport sits about 35–45 km from the historic city center, with travel times typically 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic (fares often fall in a broad range), an airport shuttle and Havaist buses running frequent connections, and a metro link that can be a faster option at peak times. Pros: modern facilities and many airline choices; cons: longer transfer distances and occasionally busy security/immigration lines. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) on the Asian side functions more like a budget- and regional-focused airport, popular with low-cost carriers and some scheduled domestic services. It is roughly 30–45 km from central Istanbul neighborhoods across the Bosphorus, with surface travel commonly taking 40–70 minutes by taxi, public buses, or private shuttles; there are also Havatas/Havaist and municipal bus routes, and a growing rail connection that can shorten journeys. Pros: often cheaper fares and less complex terminals; cons: fewer long-haul options and longer intermodal transfers if you need to cross to the European side.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport usually serves as the city’s primary regional and low-cost gateway, handling a mix of budget carriers and some scheduled European services rather than large long-haul hubs. It sits about 11 km (7 miles) southeast of the city centre, making transfers relatively short: the 500 bus takes roughly 40–50 minutes (fares typically low), taxis about 20–30 minutes with fares varying by time and traffic, and some airlines/timeframes offer shuttle services. Its strengths are compact terminals and easy navigation for quick turnarounds; downsides can include fewer long-haul choices and occasional queues during peak budget seasons. Overall it’s convenient for short-haul leisure and value-driven trips.
