Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Istanbul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s main international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic for full-service carriers and flag carriers; it’s about 35–45 km from the city center depending on route. Typical transfers include taxi or private shuttle (roughly 35–60 minutes, fares varying), metro connections with longer ride times but predictable costs, and Havaist/municipal buses (around 60–90 minutes, modest fares). Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used by low-cost and regional airlines, located roughly 45–55 km from central districts; travel options include express buses, shuttles, and taxis (60–90 minutes by road, fares often lower than private transfer rates). Pros: IST offers extensive connectivity and modern facilities for international travelers, while SAW can be more budget-friendly and convenient for eastern neighborhoods. Cons: both can be far from central areas during peak traffic and may require extra time for transfers between terminals or the two airports.
