Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) serves as the main international gateway for Marseille and the wider Provence region, combining scheduled network routes with a growing share of low-cost carriers. Legacy airlines typically operate alongside budget operators, so fares can range from value-oriented to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 25 km northwest of Marseille city center; travel time is roughly 25–40 minutes by taxi or 30–45 minutes using the airport shuttle train and bus connections. Taxis and ride-hailing are convenient but pricier, while regular shuttle buses and regional trains offer lower-cost options. Pros: compact layout and decent international connections; cons: variable transfer times to the city and occasional peak-season congestion.

Istanbul is served by two main airports. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub on the European side that typically handles long-haul and full-service carriers, and it can be positioned as the city’s premium gateway. Located about 35–45 km from the historic center, transfer options usually include metro and express coach services taking roughly 40–60 minutes or taxis that can run 45–75 minutes depending on traffic; fares and ride-share costs vary but can be noticeably higher than public transport. Pros: modern facilities, wide route network and frequent international connections; cons: longer transfers in peak traffic and larger walking distances inside terminals. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is Istanbul’s secondary, more budget- and domestic-oriented airport on the Asian side, commonly used by low-cost carriers and regional services. It sits around 35–50 km from central Istanbul depending on where you’re headed, with airport shuttle buses and commuter buses usually taking 45–90 minutes, a metro extension and taxis offering faster but sometimes pricier options in heavy traffic. Pros: often cheaper fares and fewer crowds for low-cost flights; cons: longer surface travel times to European-side destinations and fewer long-haul flight options compared with the main hub.
