Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the new international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, typically a 40–60 minute drive depending on traffic. Ground links include an airport shuttle, taxis and rideshares, and metro/rail connections that can take around 40–60 minutes with fares generally varying from budget shuttle prices to moderate taxi fares. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is positioned on the Asian side and often caters to low-cost and leisure airlines; it lies roughly 40–50 km from central Beyoğlu and can be 50–90 minutes away by road. SAW is usually cheaper for budget carriers but can be less convenient for European-side visitors. Pros: IST offers modern facilities and wide connections; SAW can be more affordable on low-cost routes. Cons: both can involve lengthy transfers in peak traffic, and fares/times depend on transport mode and time of day.
Tunis–Carthage Airport (TUN) is Tunisia’s main international gateway, typically handling most long-haul and network carrier flights alongside several low-cost operators. Located about 8–15 km northeast of downtown Tunis, the airport is usually a 15–30 minute drive depending on traffic. Ground connections include taxis (metered or fixed-rate; a short trip can be modestly priced), shared shuttles and local buses; some hotels offer transfers as well. As an international hub it can be more comfortable and better equipped than smaller regional fields, with multiple lounges and services, though peak times may feel busy. Travelers often find it convenient for onward connections but may prefer earlier arrivals to allow time for security and customs.
