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.
