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.
