Istanbul is served mainly by two airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport, on the European side, is the city’s primary international hub and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers; it can be pricier on some routes but often offers many schedule options. The airport lies about 40–50 km from the historic city center; travel is usually by taxi (approximately 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary widely), HAVAIST or municipal buses (roughly 60–90 minutes, modest fares), or planned metro connections. Pros: modern facilities and extensive flight choices; cons: longer transfers and potential traffic delays. Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian side is commonly used by low-cost and regional airlines and can be more budget-friendly on certain routes. It sits around 35–45 km from central Istanbul; transfer choices include shuttle buses and Havabus (about 60–90 minutes), taxis (40–70 minutes with variable fares), and limited metro/rail links. Pros: often cheaper fares and less congestion; cons: fewer intercontinental flights and longer surface transfers to some central districts.

The cost of a one-way flight from Istanbul to Mexico City ranges from $364 (February 2026) to $650 (December 2025). On average, the ticket price is about $510–$542.

Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s main international hub that handles most full-service carriers and many international connections, alongside smaller regional and budget operators. Located about 5–8 km east of the historic center, MEX is typically reached by Metro Line 5, commuter buses or taxis; travel time is often 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with public-transport fares usually modest and taxi/rideshare fares varying by time and service. The airport tends to offer wide amenities and frequent flights but can feel crowded at peak hours and security lines can be long. For budget-sensitive travelers, some low-cost airlines may also use secondary terminals or nearby regional airports, making it worth comparing options by schedule and price.
