Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic and hosting full-service carriers like Turkish Airlines alongside many global airlines; fares here can be mid-to-premium compared with regional alternatives. It sits roughly 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, with metro and Havaist shuttle buses taking about 35–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and rideshares typically cost more. Pros: modern facilities, extensive connections and lounges; cons: longer transfer times to central districts. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is Istanbul’s secondary airport on the Asian side and is often positioned as a budget- and low-cost-friendly option, popular with regional and low-cost carriers. It is located about 35–45 km southeast of central Istanbul; express buses, airport shuttles and taxis generally take 45–75 minutes to central neighborhoods, with transfers possibly longer at peak times. Pros: generally lower fares and easier domestic connections; cons: fewer long-haul options and potentially longer cross-city transfers if you need to reach the European side.

General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport (TIJ) serves Tijuana as the city’s primary international hub, handling both US–Mexico cross-border traffic and domestic flights. It typically hosts a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, with frequent regional routes and seasonal connections to the United States; fares can be competitive compared with other Mexican border airports. The airport sits about 5–7 km (roughly 15–25 minutes) from downtown Tijuana and is commonly reached by taxi or rideshare, public buses, and shuttle services; expect fares to vary from modest local bus prices to higher taxi/shuttle rates. Pros: quick access to the city and convenient US border links (including proximity to the Cross Border Xpress pedestrian bridge to San Diego). Cons: can be busy during peak cross-border times and facilities are more utilitarian than larger international hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Tijuana vary: minimum — $647 (November 2025), maximum — $694 (June 2026). Typically, the flight costs $670–$1,362.
