Muscat International (MCT) is Oman’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers and regional airlines alongside a growing number of low-cost operators.

The airport is usually modern and geared toward international connections, offering decent amenities and lounges, though peak times can be busy. Its main strengths are direct long-haul links and reliable ground transport; for lower fares or domestic hops travelers may compare regional airports or carriers.

Istanbul has two main passenger airports serving different travel needs. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers; it’s located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, with the fastest metro and airport shuttle taking roughly 35–60 minutes (fares usually in the mid-range for city public transport). Pendik and taxis can be quicker but costlier. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is typically used by budget and low-cost airlines and can be 45–70 minutes from central neighborhoods depending on traffic, with commuter buses, Havabus shuttles or taxis as options at modest fares. IST offers more lounges and international connections, while SAW can be cheaper on low-cost routes but less convenient for European-side transfers.
