Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) serves as the main international gateway to Marseille and Provence, handling a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so fares can be competitive especially for European routes. The airport lies about 27 km northwest of the city centre; shuttle buses to Saint-Charles station take roughly 25–35 minutes and cost in the low single digits, while taxis and rideshares typically take 30–40 minutes and are noticeably pricier. Car rental and limited regional train links via Vitrolles are options for onward travel. Pros: straightforward layout and a range of budget options; cons: slightly farther from central Marseille than some urban airports and transfer times can vary with traffic.
Istanbul is served primarily by two major airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and network carrier flights and typically offering a wide range of full-service airlines; it sits on the European side about 35–50 km from the historic centre depending on route, with drive times usually between 35 and 60 minutes in light traffic. Ground options include Havaist and municipal buses (roughly 60–120 TRY), airport shuttles, taxis and a growing rail link — fares and journeys vary by service. IST can be very convenient for international connections and modern facilities, though the distance from central districts and occasional heavy traffic can add time and cost. Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), located on the Asian side, typically functions as Istanbul’s budget and secondary international airport, popular with low-cost carriers and some regional airlines. It lies about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet or Taksim, with transfers usually taking 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. Transport choices include Havabus shuttles, municipal buses, private shuttles, and taxis; fares are commonly lower than private transfers but vary by operator. SAW can be a cost-effective option for point-to-point travel and short connections, but its more limited onward rail connections and longer road transfers across the city can be less convenient for some itineraries.
