Istanbul is served by two main airports that play different roles for travelers. Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side functions as the country’s primary international hub and typically handles long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s about 40–50 km from central Sultanahmet/Taksim, with metro, Havaist shuttles and taxis taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the range of budget-friendly shuttles to mid-range taxi fares. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used by low-cost and regional airlines, lying about 35–45 km from the historic center; express buses, Havatas shuttles and taxis take around 45–75 minutes with generally lower fares for public buses. Pros: IST offers extensive connections and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper for budget carriers and less crowded at times. Cons: both can be far from the core city and journeys can be slow in peak traffic.
Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport (ZAG) is Croatia’s primary international gateway, serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on routes across Europe and seasonal flights further afield. Located about 12 km southeast of the city centre, it’s typically a quick transfer by taxi or rideshare (roughly 15–25 minutes) and is also connected by airport shuttle buses and regional trains with fares usually in the lower budget range. The airport is generally compact and straightforward, making check‑in and connections relatively convenient, though peak summer months can be busy. Pros: central location and decent transport links; cons: limited late‑night services and fewer long‑haul options compared with larger European hubs.
