Istanbul is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the primary international hub for long-haul and many full-service carriers, handling the bulk of intercontinental and flag-carrier traffic; it can be pricier on average but often offers extensive connectivity. Located about 35–45 km north of the historic city center, transit options include the new metro line (roughly 35–50 minutes), airport shuttle buses (45–75 minutes) and taxis (40–60 minutes, fares vary with traffic). Pros: modern facilities and many lounges; cons: longer transfer times to central districts during peak traffic. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is typically a secondary, budget-leaning airport on the Asian side favored by low-cost and some regional carriers, often offering lower fares for point-to-point flights. It sits about 35–45 km southeast of central Istanbul; options include dedicated Havabus shuttles and public buses (40–70 minutes), a dedicated metro link completed in recent years (time depends on connections), and taxis (35–60 minutes). Pros: closer to some Asian-side neighborhoods and often cheaper fares; cons: fewer long-haul options and potentially longer transfers if connecting between airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Kaunas to Istanbul vary: minimum — $81 (April 2026), maximum — $702 (February 2026). Typically, the flight costs $255–$400.
