Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s international hub for long-haul and flagship carriers — it typically handles most full-service airlines and can be pricier on average, though deals are common. Located about 35–50 km northwest of the historic center, transfer options include Havatas shuttles and municipal buses (roughly 60–90 minutes, fares often modest), taxis (around 45–75 minutes, variable fares), and increasingly metro/rail links for faster city access. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is an alternative on the Asian side, popular with low-cost and regional carriers; it sits roughly 40–60 km from central Sultanahmet and can be cheaper on many budget routes. SAW is typically reached by shuttle buses and buses (about 60–90 minutes), taxis (45–70 minutes), and private transfers. Pros: IST offers broad connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be more budget-friendly but may require longer transfers if your destination is on the opposite side of the city.

Ouagadougou’s main gateway is Ouagadougou Airport (OUA), the country’s primary international hub handling most scheduled flights to West Africa and occasional European services; it can feel modest compared with larger regional hubs. Carriers are typically a mix of national and regional airlines, with some seasonal charters. The airport sits roughly 5–7 km from the city center, so transfer times are short — expect a 15–25 minute taxi ride in normal traffic, usually charging modest fares; shared minibuses and private car hires are also common. Pros include quick access to downtown and simple layouts; cons can be limited on-site amenities and occasional peak-time crowding. For budget travelers, fares and ground connections are generally affordable but can vary by season.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Istanbul to Ouagadougou is $361 (October 2025), while the maximum is $402 (December 2025). On average, a ticket costs $381–$402.
