Istanbul is served by a sprawling international hub, Istanbul Airport (IST), and a smaller, domestic-focused option, Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). IST functions as Turkey’s primary long-haul gateway with many full-service carriers and a growing number of transfer connections; fares can range from premium to competitive depending on season and carrier. It sits about 35–50 km northwest of the historical center, reachable by taxi (roughly 40–60 minutes, variable by traffic), Havaist shuttle buses (about 60–90 minutes, modest fares), and the metro line (longer transfer times at present). SAW, on the Asian side, typically hosts low-cost and some regional airlines; it’s closer to Anatolian districts (about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet), reachable by Havabus or municipal buses and taxis (about 45–70 minutes). Pros: IST offers extensive amenities and onward connections, while SAW can be more convenient for eastern arrivals and budget travelers. Cons: both can involve long transfers across the city and variable traffic; ticket and transfer costs depend on operator and time of day.

Koltsovo Airport (SVX) is Yekaterinburg’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, including Russian flag and domestic operators. Located about 16 km southeast of the city center, transfer times to central Yekaterinburg are usually 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic; shuttle buses and taxis are common, with fares typically in the modest range for the region. Ground connections include regular airport buses and private transfers, while car rentals are widely available. Pros: relatively compact layout and regular international connections. Cons: can be busy during peak periods and security/immigration lines may be slower than at smaller domestic fields.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Istanbul to Yekaterinburg is $148 (February 2026), while the maximum is $1,008 (January 2027). On average, a ticket costs $264–$371.
