Istanbul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s major international hub handling most long-haul and intercontinental traffic and hosting full-service carriers; fares there can be mid-to-high depending on season. It lies roughly 35–50 km from downtown on the European side, with metro, airport shuttle buses and taxis typically taking 35–60 minutes (fares vary; shuttles and public transit are usually cheapest). Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used by low-cost and regional airlines and can offer lower fares on many routes; it sits about 35–45 km from central districts with express buses, shared shuttles and taxis taking about 45–75 minutes. Pros: IST provides wide connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper and more convenient for Asia-side destinations. Cons: both can involve long transfers at peak times and occasional traffic delays by road.
