Istanbul is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub used by many full-service carriers and connecting flights; it’s positioned on the European side about 35–50 km from the historic center, typically a 30–60 minute drive depending on traffic. Options include metro + shuttle or taxi; metro+Havaist buses can cost in the low-€ range while taxis are noticeably higher. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used by budget and low-cost airlines and regional services, around 40–60 km from central Sultanahmet and roughly 45–75 minutes by road. SAW is usually cheaper to reach by Havabüs or municipal bus with fares typically lower than airport taxis, though transfers can add time. Pros: IST offers wide international connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be more budget-friendly for low-cost carriers. Cons: both can be some distance from downtown and travel times vary widely with Istanbul traffic, so allow extra time for transfers.
Nantes Atlantique (NTE) serves as the region’s main international gateway while also handling many domestic and low-cost services, so it can be a mix of full-service and budget carriers. The airport sits about 8–12 km southwest of Nantes city centre; taxis typically take 15–25 minutes, and a shuttle or tram-bus takes roughly 20–30 minutes with fares generally modest. Car rental and rideshares are widely available for flexible transfers. Pros: compact layout and relatively short transfer times make connections straightforward. Cons: peak periods can feel crowded and parking or some peripheral services may be pricier than smaller regional fields.
