Magnitogorsk Airport (MQF) serves as the city’s primary regional gateway and typically handles domestic flights and a limited number of seasonal routes. It is usually served by Russian carriers and regional airlines rather than major international hubs, so fares can be relatively affordable compared with larger airports. The terminal sits roughly 20–25 km from the city center; travel by taxi generally takes about 25–40 minutes and can cost in the region of modest local rates, while shared shuttles or private transfers may offer slightly cheaper per-person options. Pros include a compact, easy-to-navigate terminal and short transfer times; cons are limited flight frequency, fewer onboard amenities, and minimal public-transport choices for late arrivals.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often perceived as pricier but more connected worldwide; it lies about 40–50 km northwest of the historic centre and is reachable by metro and long-distance buses in roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually in the mid-range for public transit. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions more as a secondary airport that often hosts budget and regional airlines, positioned about 35–45 km on the Asian side and reachable by shuttle buses, Havaist coaches or taxis in roughly 45–75 minutes, with generally lower-cost flight options but potentially longer transfers. Pros: IST offers more frequent international connections and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper and convenient for eastern districts. Cons: both can involve lengthy transfers to central Istanbul and variable traffic delays, so travelers should allow extra time for connections.
