Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the region’s primary international gateway and a major connecting hub for both legacy carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. It sits about 13 miles southeast of downtown Orlando; road transfer by taxi or rideshare typically takes 20–30 minutes and can cost roughly $30–$55, while the LYNX bus and airport shuttles offer cheaper transfers in 30–50 minutes. Advantages include extensive flight options, full-service amenities and direct links to theme parks; drawbacks can be busy terminals and longer queues during peak travel periods. Orlando Sanford International (SFB), north of the city, is usually positioned as a lower-cost, point-to-point airport popular with leisure and charter carriers. Located roughly 18–20 miles from downtown, expect drive times of 30–45 minutes by taxi or shuttle with fares commonly lower than from MCO; public transit is slower and may require transfers. SFB’s strengths are simpler navigation and often cheaper carriers, while limited international connections and fewer ground-transport alternatives can be less convenient for some itineraries.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub and handles most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, including national carrier Turkish Airlines and many global airlines. Located about 35–50 km northwest of the historic center depending on route, it can take 30–60+ minutes by taxi or 40–90 minutes by Havaist shuttle buses and public transport; fares for buses and metro links are typically modest while taxis are pricier. As a large, modern facility it usually offers extensive lounges, shopping and transit services but can be busy during peak periods, so allow extra time for check-in and transfers. For budget travelers, it can feel less central than the older airport options.
