Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub, handling a wide range of full-service carriers and many long-haul connections; it can be the most convenient choice for international transfers. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic city center, travel times are typically 35–60 minutes by taxi or car depending on traffic, and about 40–60 minutes via metro and rail links; fares for taxis can be mid-range and public transit is usually the most economical. Pros: modern facilities, extensive lounges and frequent flights. Cons: longer transfer distances and possible heavy traffic for road trips. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) serves as Istanbul’s primary secondary airport and is often used by budget and low-cost carriers as well as some regional and charter services. It sits roughly 45–55 km southeast of central Istanbul on the Asian side; travel to central areas typically takes 40–75 minutes by shuttle or taxi and about 60–90 minutes by public bus and metro transfers, with taxis generally costing more than buses. Pros: often cheaper fares and less crowded peak terminals. Cons: fewer long-haul options and longer journeys to some popular European-side destinations.

Magnitogorsk Airport (MQF) functions mainly as a regional hub serving domestic flights with occasional seasonal connections; it’s typically used by Russian carriers and low-cost operators for routes to Moscow, St. Petersburg and nearby oblasts.

Facilities are compact and practical rather than luxurious, so you’ll find basic shops and cafes but limited lounge space. Pros: close regional links and short transfer times; cons: fewer flight options and amenities than major international airports.
