Istanbul is served mainly by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport functions as the city's primary international hub, handling long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many connecting flights; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season and airline. It lies about 35–50 km north of the historic center, reachable by Havaist airport buses or municipal buses in roughly 40–60 minutes (fares typically in a modest fixed range), taxis taking around 40–60 minutes with higher cost, and limited rail connections. Its strengths are modern facilities and wide route coverage; downsides can include longer transfer times to central districts and variable road traffic. Sabiha Gökçen operates more as a secondary airport often favored by low-cost and regional carriers, with generally lower-priced options for point-to-point travel. Located on the Asian side about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet and Taksim, it’s served by shuttle buses and shared transfers taking roughly 45–70 minutes, municipal buses at lower fares, and taxis that are quicker but costlier. It’s convenient for travelers headed to the Asian side or seeking budget choices, though amenities and international connectivity are typically more limited than at the main hub.

Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) east of Windhoek is Namibia’s primary international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional carriers, including flag and a few full-service airlines; it's often perceived as pricier than smaller domestic fields. The terminal is compact and usually efficient for arrivals and departures. The airport sits about 45–50 km from central Windhoek, with travel times of roughly 35–50 minutes by car depending on traffic; shuttle transfers and car rentals are common, with fares for shared shuttles or taxis generally falling in a moderate range and rental rates varying by season. Pros: straightforward international connections and reliable ground services. Cons: distance from the city center and occasional queueing at busy periods.
