Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub, serving long-haul and full-service carriers alongside several international alliances; it typically handles the majority of intercontinental and regional traffic. Located about 40–50 km north of the historic center (Taksim/Sultanahmet), journey times by car or taxi are usually 35–60 minutes depending on traffic; airport shuttles and HAVABUS services take around 45–75 minutes with fares commonly in the budget-to-midrange bracket. The airport offers modern lounges and extensive amenities, though its distance from central districts can mean longer transfers during peak hours. For faster metro access, check current rail connections and schedules. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) operates primarily as a secondary international and budget-oriented gateway on Istanbul’s Asian side, often preferred by low-cost and regional carriers. It sits about 35–45 km southeast of central Istanbul, with car or taxi transfers typically taking 30–60 minutes; public buses and dedicated shuttles to Kadiköy, Taksim and other hubs generally take 40–75 minutes and are usually low-cost. SAW can be cheaper on many routes and is often more convenient for passengers based on the Asian-side neighborhoods, but limited late-night connections and longer transfer times to some European-side destinations can be trade-offs. Check express bus and metro extension options when planning connections.

Stavropol Shpakovskoye Airport (STW) serves as the main regional gateway for Stavropol and nearby North Caucasus destinations, functioning more as a domestic/regional airport than an international hub. Flights are typically operated by Russian carriers and regional low-cost operators, so fares can often be competitive compared with larger hubs. The airport sits about 8–12 km southwest of the city centre; taxis and private transfers take roughly 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, while local buses offer a cheaper, slower option with fares usually in the low single-digit ruble range. Pros: compact terminal and short walking distances make transfers straightforward. Cons: limited amenities and fewer long-haul or night-time connections than major airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Stavropol vary: minimum — $124 (December 2025), maximum — $369 (May 2026). Typically, the flight costs $180–$226.
