Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul carriers and full-service airlines; it’s located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center and typically feels more modern and spacious. Ground links include a metro line and express buses with journey times around 40–60 minutes depending on traffic; fares can range from inexpensive public transport rates to higher taxi or ride-hail fares. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side functions more as a budget and regional gateway, attracting low-cost airlines and some domestic services; it’s roughly 35–45 km from central areas across the Bosphorus. Transfer options from SAW include shuttle buses, metro connections via Marmaray and intercity buses, with travel times usually 45–75 minutes and varied fare levels. Pros: IST offers comprehensive international connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be cheaper and closer for eastern districts. Cons: both airports can involve lengthy transfers during peak traffic and may require extra time for connections across the city.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX) is the region’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and connecting flights and typically served by major carriers such as American, Delta, and United alongside several international and low-cost options. Located about 3–5 miles southeast of downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor is usually reachable in 10–20 minutes by car depending on traffic; taxis, rideshares and the PHX Sky Train combined with Valley Metro light rail are common options, with fares often ranging from a few dollars for transit to moderate taxi/ride-share rates. Pros: frequent nonstop routes, full-service amenities and easy transfers; cons: can be busy during peak times and parking/terminal walking distances may add time. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA), situated roughly 20–25 miles southeast of downtown, often positions itself as a budget-friendly secondary airport that typically hosts low-cost carriers and seasonal leisure services. Travel time to central Phoenix is commonly around 25–40 minutes by car depending on traffic; limited public transit options exist and shuttle or ride-share services are usual, with fares that are generally lower than premium airport transfers. Pros: lower fares and shorter lines can be common; cons: fewer flight choices, limited facilities and longer ground travel for some downtown destinations.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Phoenix vary: minimum — $515 (December 2025), maximum — $763 (October 2025). Typically, the flight costs $621–$1,347.
