Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s primary international hub, serving long-haul and many full-service carriers as well as some low-cost operators; it typically handles the busiest intercontinental connections and can be pricier than secondary airports. Located roughly 35–45 km northwest of the city center, travel options include the M11 metro and Havaist shuttle buses (around 35–60 minutes, fares usually mid-range), taxis (30–60 minutes, higher cost) and private transfers. Pros: modern facilities, extensive international connections and frequent flight choices; cons: distance to central districts and occasional heavy traffic on the approach roads.
