Vienna International Airport (VIE) serves as Austria’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, so you’ll find a mix of premium and budget options. It sits about 18 km southeast of the city center; travel time is typically 16–25 minutes by City Airport Train or 20–30 minutes by S-Bahn, with fares generally in the low-to-mid range for public transit. Taxis and ride-shares take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier. The airport is usually well equipped with lounges and retail, offering good connections but can be busy at peak times — convenient for international itineraries, slightly less so if you prefer a very small, quick terminal experience.
Istanbul’s air traffic is split between the new Istanbul Airport (IST) — the city’s main international hub — and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), which typically handles more low-cost and regional services. IST usually hosts full-service carriers and long-haul flights, while SAW can be favored by budget airlines and some charter routes. IST lies about 35–45 km from the historic city centre with metro, Havaist airport shuttles and taxis taking roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; fares for shuttles and public transit are generally moderate, taxis more variable. SAW is around 40–55 km to central Istanbul, connected by buses, Havatas/Havaist shuttles, and taxis with similar time frames. Pros: IST tends to offer more amenities and better transfer connections; SAW can mean lower fares and quicker boarding. Cons: both airports can be affected by heavy traffic for road transfers, and SAW’s connections to the European side may require longer travel times.
