Istanbul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the newer international hub on the European side, handling most long-haul and flag-carrier traffic and often used by full-service carriers; it can be perceived as mid-to-premium in terms of service and connection options. Located roughly 35–50 km from the historic city center depending on route, typical transfers include the Havaist express buses (about 40–70 minutes, fare range usually modest), taxis (40–60 minutes, higher fares) and scheduled shuttle services. Pros: modern terminals and extensive international connections; cons: longer transfer times in heavy traffic and sometimes extended walking distances within the terminal.
Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) operates mainly as a budget and low-cost carrier base on the Asian side, serving many point-to-point European and regional routes and often seen as more cost-conscious. It sits approximately 35–45 km from central Istanbul but can be closer for destinations on the Asian side. Transport options include Havatas/Havaist buses and municipal buses (roughly 60–90 minutes to central Sultanahmet/Beyoglu depending on traffic, fares typically lower), taxis (faster but pricier), and limited rail/shuttle links. Pros: often cheaper fares and quicker check-ins for low-cost carriers; cons: farther from some tourist areas and fewer long-haul connections.
More than 12 airlines operate flights from Istanbul to New York, including Turkish Airlines, Sky Express, Air Serbia, Pegasus Airlines, Wizz Air, Kuwait Airways, Aegean Airlines, Air Europa, British Airways, EgyptAir, LOT Polish Airlines, and Royal Jordanian. This is a popular route, so passengers can choose tickets based on budget and preferences. Ticket prices start from $233, and our service lets you instantly compare all options. The variety of offers simplifies planning: you can choose budget fares or more comfortable options with baggage included or extra services. We help you find the best deals so your trip is cost-efficient.
Newark Liberty International (EWR) serves as a major international and transatlantic hub for New York-area travel, often favored by legacy carriers and international airlines. Located in New Jersey about 16 miles southwest of midtown Manhattan, it typically offers a mix of full-service and some low-cost flights; fares can be competitive for long-haul routes. Transport options include NJ Transit or Amtrak plus a short AirTrain transfer (roughly 30–45 minutes to Penn Station, fares vary but often in the $15–25 range), taxis and ride-shares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic), and some express buses. Pros: extensive international connections and multiple terminals; cons: can be crowded, and travel time to Manhattan is subject to heavy traffic.
