Macau International Airport serves the city as a compact, mostly regional gateway that typically handles a mix of short-haul international and mainland China flights rather than long-haul intercontinental services. Carriers operating here can be a blend of full-service and budget airlines, so fares are often competitive for nearby destinations. The airport sits on reclaimed land about 6–8 km from Macau’s historic centre; road transfers usually take 15–25 minutes by taxi or shuttle (fares commonly range from modest fixed taxi rates to slightly higher hotel-transfer fees). Public bus services connect the terminal to key districts in roughly 25–40 minutes for very low cost. Pros: quick walk-through, close proximity to casinos and hotels, and straightforward ground links. Cons: limited long-haul options and fewer on-site amenities compared with larger international hubs.

Istanbul is served primarily by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport on the European side is the city’s main international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic and hosting full-service carriers alongside some international low-cost operators; it is usually perceived as a premium gateway with comprehensive facilities. Located about 35–50 km from central districts (Taksim/Sultanahmet), transfer options include the metro and airport shuttle buses (roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares typically in the low-to-mid range), taxis (30–60 minutes, higher cost) and airport express coaches. Pros: modern terminals and wide route choice; cons: long transfer times to the historic centre in heavy traffic. Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian side is typically positioned as a budget- and point-to-point airport favored by low-cost and regional carriers, often offering more affordable fares for domestic and some international routes. It sits roughly 30–45 km from central Istanbul, with metroline extensions, Havatas-type shuttle buses and municipal buses providing 40–70 minute transfers (fares usually low), while taxis can be faster but pricier. Pros: convenient for eastern suburbs and economical flights; cons: fewer long-haul connections and potentially longer crossings to the European side depending on traffic and ferry/bridge options.
