Cheap Flights from Istanbul to Yakutsk — $351

Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers while also serving some low-cost airlines; fares here can be competitive on major network routes. Located about 40–50 km northwest of central districts like Sultanahmet or Taksim, transfer options include Havaist and municipal buses (roughly 40–75 minutes, fares usually in the low single-digit euros/TL equivalent), taxis (about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, higher cost), and planned rail links. Pros: modern terminals, extensive global connectivity and wide amenities; cons: longer transfer times to the historic center and occasional heavy traffic for road trips. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) typically functions as Istanbul’s secondary airport and a budget-friendly gateway, favored by many low-cost and regional carriers but also used by some full-service airlines. It sits on the city’s Asian side, about 35–45 km from central European-side attractions, and closer to Asian districts like Kadıköy. Transport includes Havabus and municipal buses (around 45–75 minutes to central areas, modest fares), metro extension and Marmaray connections via transfers, and taxis (journeys vary widely by traffic). Pros: often cheaper fares on low-cost carriers and shorter access to Asian neighborhoods; cons: fewer long-haul connections and possible longer cross-continental transfers.
