Tolmachevo Airport (OVB) serves Novosibirsk as the region’s main international and domestic hub, handling both full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on routes across Russia and to Europe and Asia. Located roughly 17–25 km west of the city center depending on route, transfers typically take 25–40 minutes by taxi (fares usually in the moderate range) and about 40–50 minutes by public bus or Aeroexpress-style shuttle services where available. The airport’s strengths are its year-round scheduled connections and a compact layout that can be convenient for transfers; however, peak-season queues and limited late-night public transport options can be drawbacks for some travelers. Car rental and private transfer services are common for added comfort and flexibility.

Istanbul has two main commercial airports serving different needs. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often offering more flight choices at competitive fares; it sits about 40–50 km northwest of the historic city center. Ground links include the M11 metro and airport shuttles, taxis and private transfers, with journeys typically taking 35–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly in a mid-range bracket for Istanbul. Its scale means modern facilities and many onward connections, though longer transfer times to central districts can be a drawback. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is usually positioned as a lower-cost, secondary international airport frequented by budget and some regional airlines; it lies around 35–45 km southeast of central Istanbul. Regular Havatas shuttles, buses, taxis and shared transfers connect SAW to central areas in roughly 45–90 minutes depending on traffic, often at lower fares than IST. SAW can be more convenient for travelers heading to the Asian side or seeking cheaper ticket options, though it typically has fewer long-haul services and can feel more compact.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Novosibirsk to Istanbul is $173 (October 2025), while the maximum is $311 (July 2026). On average, a ticket costs $232–$233.
