Istanbul is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic and hosting major carriers such as Turkish Airlines; it’s about 40–50 km from the historic centre, with the Havaist airport shuttle and taxis typically taking 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, and fares that can range from moderate to premium for private transfers. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is usually positioned as a secondary, more budget-friendly option favored by low-cost and regional carriers, located roughly 35–45 km on the Asian side; travel by Havatas shuttle, commuter buses, or taxi usually takes 45–75 minutes with generally lower fares than private IST transfers. Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be cheaper and simpler for point-to-point low-cost flights. Cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic to central districts and transfers between the two airports can be time-consuming.

Fly nonstop from Istanbul to Taipei for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge Turkey and Taiwan — fewer hassles, no layovers and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, choosing a direct flight saves hours and makes long-haul travel noticeably more comfortable and predictable, so consider booking nonstop for a smoother journey.

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) is Taipei’s main international gateway and typically functions as a large hub for full-service carriers and many long-haul routes, while also hosting some low-cost airlines on regional services. Located about 45–50 km west of central Taipei in Taoyuan, transfer to the city center usually takes 35–55 minutes by express train or 40–70 minutes by bus, with fares generally ranging from modest to moderate depending on service and class. Taxis and private transfers can be faster but cost more. Pros: frequent international connections, modern terminal amenities and rail links; cons: distance from downtown and busy peak-hour traffic can add time and expense. Songshan Airport (TSA) serves Taipei primarily as a convenient domestic and short-haul regional airport, often favored for business trips and quick connections to parts of Japan, China and nearby islands. It sits close to the city, roughly 4–6 km from major downtown districts, so travel to central Taipei is commonly 10–20 minutes by metro or 10–25 minutes by taxi at typical fares. Pros: proximity to the city center, shorter check-in and transit times; cons: limited international long-haul options and smaller terminals that can feel crowded during peak periods.
