Nukus Airport (NCU) serves as the regional gateway to Karakalpakstan, operating primarily as a domestic and limited international airport rather than a major hub. Flights are typically run by Uzbekistan’s national carrier and smaller regional airlines, with fares often perceived as modest compared with bigger Uzbek airports. The airport sits roughly 10–15 km from Nukus city center; road transfers usually take about 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Options include taxis and private transfers, which can be economical for solo travelers or affordable for groups, while occasional local minibuses may be available. Pros: compact terminal and short transfer times make it a convenient choice; cons: limited amenities, fewer flight frequencies, and seasonal service on some routes can reduce flexibility.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub handling most long-haul and star-alliance carriers; it can be pricier for convenience but often features a wide choice of airlines and connections. Located roughly 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, typical transfers include taxi or rideshare (35–60 minutes, fares varying by traffic), Havaist and public buses (about 60–90 minutes, moderate fares), and airport shuttles. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) sits on the Asian side and is often used by low-cost and regional carriers; it’s commonly cheaper but less central. SAW is about 45–55 km from central Sultanahmet, with shuttle buses and taxis taking around 60–90 minutes depending on traffic and costing moderately. Pros: IST offers comprehensive services and many connections; SAW can be lighter on fares and easier for eastern neighborhoods. Cons: both airports can be affected by Istanbul’s heavy traffic, so allow extra transfer time.
