Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside many premium and national airlines. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historical center, it can take 30–60+ minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or roughly 40–60 minutes by Havaist and public buses with fares typically in the low single-digit to low double-digit TRY/EUR/USD equivalents. Pros: modern terminal facilities, broad route network, and plentiful lounges; cons: longer transfer times to central districts and occasional heavy traffic. Travelers can usually expect a full-service airport experience with extensive retail and transport options. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) operates largely as Istanbul’s budget and secondary international airport, favoured by low-cost carriers and some regional airlines. It sits on the Asian side about 35–50 km from central Sultanahmet and Taksim; journey times are commonly 45–90 minutes by taxi or ride-hail and around 60–90 minutes by public bus or shuttle, with fares often lower than airport transfers to IST. Pros: typically lower fares on many point-to-point routes and less crowded terminals; cons: fewer nonstop long-haul options and longer commutes from the European side. It can be a convenient, cost-conscious choice for regional travel.
