Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub on the city’s European side, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often featuring more premium lounges and connectivity; it sits roughly 35–50 km from central districts, with typical transfer times of 40–60 minutes by taxi or shuttle depending on traffic, and about 35–60 minutes by Havatas bus or Havaist service with fares usually in a modest range. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is commonly used by low-cost and regional airlines and can be cheaper on many routes; it’s about 40–60 km from central Sultanahmet/Taksim with travel times of 45–90 minutes by road, and public buses or private shuttles are frequent. Pros: IST offers wide connections and modern facilities, while SAW often has lower fares and quicker check-ins; cons include longer transfers from city center for both airports and potential heavy traffic during peak hours.

Yaroslavl Tunoshna Airport (IAR) serves as the primary regional gateway for Yaroslavl, functioning mainly as a domestic and occasional international point rather than a major hub. It typically handles a mix of regional carriers and seasonal charter flights, so fares can be perceived as moderate compared with larger Russian hubs. The airport sits about 18–30 km southeast of Yaroslavl city centre; transfers by taxi usually take 30–45 minutes while public buses and shared shuttles can take around 40–60 minutes, often costing a modest, budget-friendly fare. Advantages include compact terminal facilities and quick walk times; downsides are limited dining and shopping options and fewer flight frequencies than Moscow airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Yaroslavl vary: minimum — $144 (December 2025), maximum — $301 (January 2026). Typically, the flight costs $197–$448.
