Istanbul has two main airports serving different traveler needs. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city's large international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and typically offering a wide range of lounges and amenities; it sits about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, with travel times of roughly 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic (fares often higher than inner-city trips) and 40–60 minutes by Havaist or municipal airport buses for moderate fares. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is usually positioned as the low-cost and regional alternative, favored by budget airlines and some charter flights; it’s around 40–50 km from central sites, often 50–90 minutes by road, or reachable by Havatas/Havabus and combined metro+bus options at modest fares. Pros: IST offers more international connections and facilities, while SAW can be cheaper and closer for Asian-side destinations. Cons: both can be far from central tourist areas and subject to Istanbul’s heavy traffic, so allow generous transfer time.
Mitiga Airport (MJI) and Tripoli International (TIP) each play different roles in Libya’s capital air network. Mitiga, inside the city, usually functions as the primary operational airport for domestic and regional carriers, including charter and low-cost operators, and can be perceived as more budget-friendly for short hops. Tripoli International, when operational, is typically positioned as the larger international hub handling long-haul and scheduled international services with full-service carriers. Both lie roughly 10–20 km from central Tripoli; travel times can range from about 20–45 minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic, with fares typically varying widely. Public transport options are limited, so taxis and private transfers are most common. Pros: Mitiga offers quick access to downtown; Tripoli International provides broader connectivity and more passenger facilities when open. Cons: services can be sporadic due to regional instability, and ground-transport choices are limited compared with major global hubs.
