Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the newer international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located roughly 35–45 km northwest of the historic center and can take about 35–60 minutes by taxi or 40–60 minutes by airport shuttle/bus depending on traffic, with fares typically higher than local buses. A metro line and express bus services can make transfers predictable during peak hours. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions more as a secondary, budget-leaning airport on the Asian side, often used by low-cost airlines and some regional flights; it sits around 40–50 km from central European-side attractions and usually requires 45–75 minutes by road, with shuttle buses and Havatas services offering lower-cost options. Pros: IST offers greater connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper for low-cost carriers and closer to Asian-side neighborhoods. Cons: both can be affected by Istanbul traffic and may involve long transfers across the city if your itinerary spans both sides.

Wellington International (WLG) is the primary airport serving New Zealand’s capital and typically functions as a compact international and domestic hub, with a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers—Air New Zealand, Jetstar and regional operators are commonly present. It sits about 5–8 km southeast of the central business district; road or taxi transfers usually take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses can take 20–30 minutes with fares generally modest. The airport is convenient for quick city access and often favored for short trans-Tasman and domestic connections, though it can be exposed to windy conditions and has limited long-haul frequency compared with larger transnational hubs.
