Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers and generally offering a wide range of services and flights; it sits about 35–45 km from the historic centre and can be reached by taxi or Havaist shuttles in roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically higher than budget options. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) acts as a secondary airport, often favored by low-cost and regional airlines for domestic and short-haul routes; it lies around 45–55 km on the Asian side and shuttle buses or Havabus plus taxis take about 50–75 minutes, usually at lower fares. Pros: IST is convenient for international connections and amenities, while SAW can be cheaper and quicker for some domestic itineraries. Cons: both can involve long transfers to central districts and variable travel times during peak traffic.

Tampa International Airport (TPA) is the region’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines, making it common to find both premium and budget options. The airport sits about 7 miles (11 km) west of downtown Tampa; taxi or ride-hail trips usually take 15–25 minutes, while the TECO Line streetcar and bus connections can take 25–40 minutes depending on route and traffic, with fares generally modest for public transit and higher for private rides. Pros: modern terminals, efficient layout, and frequent nonstop routes. Cons: can be busy during peak seasons and parking or ride-hail waits may add time.
