Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full‑service carriers and often showing mid‑to‑higher fares compared with budget options; it sits about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, with airport shuttles, Havaist coaches and taxis usually taking 40–60 minutes depending on traffic (coach fares typically in a moderate range, taxis notably more). Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is positioned on the Asian side as a popular base for low‑cost and regional airlines, roughly 35–50 km from central Sultanahmet/ Taksim and reachable by express buses, municipal buses, private shuttles or taxis in 45–75 minutes; it can be a more budget‑friendly choice but may be less convenient for European‑side transfers. Pros: IST offers more connections and amenities, while SAW often yields lower fares; cons: both can be several distance‑and‑traffic dependent from central districts.
