Istanbul is served by two main airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often perceived as mid-to-premium in price; it sits on the European side roughly 35–50 km from the historic city center depending on route. Ground links include metro and high-speed buses (about 40–60 minutes) or taxis (roughly 40–70 minutes) with fares varying widely by route and time. Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian side tends to be favored by low-cost and regional airlines, usually offering more budget-friendly fares; it’s about 30–45 km from central districts with shuttle buses and regular airport coaches (40–60 minutes) and taxis. Pros: IST offers extensive connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be simpler and cheaper; cons: both can involve long transfers and variable traffic, so allow extra time for peak periods.

Rabat–Salé Airport (RBA) serves as the main gateway for Morocco’s capital area and typically functions as a regional/international airport rather than a large intercontinental hub. It usually handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, with seasonal European connections and domestic links to Casablanca and Marrakech; fares can be competitive on budget carriers but often higher for last-minute or peak-season flights. The airport lies about 8–10 km northeast of central Rabat, with taxi rides commonly taking 15–25 minutes and costing roughly the equivalent of a modest local fare; shared shuttles and rental cars are also available, while public buses provide cheaper but slower options. Pros: convenient proximity to the city and straightforward layout; cons: fewer nonstop long-haul options and limited late-night services compared with larger Moroccan hubs.
