Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the newer international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s positioned northwest of the city and usually feels modern and spacious. The city center is typically about 40–50 km away, with travel times of around 40–90 minutes by taxi or car depending on traffic; the newly expanded metro and Havaist shuttle buses offer regular connections, with fares varying by service type. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side tends to host more low-cost and regional carriers and can be cheaper on budget routes. SAW sits roughly 35–45 km from central Istanbul; buses and airport shuttles usually take 60–90 minutes, while taxis are faster but costlier. IST is generally more convenient for international transfers and premium services, whereas SAW can be a practical choice for budget travellers or those staying on the Asian side, though cross-city transfers may add time and complexity.
Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) serves as Andalusia’s primary international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, making it a common choice for both holidaymakers and business travelers. Located about 8 km southwest of Málaga city centre, transfer times are usually 15–25 minutes by taxi and 20–30 minutes by the C1 suburban train; buses can take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Taxi fares are commonly moderate for short rides, while the train and airport bus offer lower-cost options. Pros include frequent international connections and direct rail access; downsides can be crowds in peak summer and occasional queues at security and passport control.
