Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is the city’s main international gateway and tends to serve a mix of legacy carriers and some low-cost airlines, making it a full-service hub for northeast U.S. connections. Located about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of downtown, typical transfers into Center City take roughly 25–35 minutes by regional rail or taxi; SEPTA Regional Rail and the Airport Line are usually the cheapest option with fares generally in the low single digits, while taxis and rideshares can be faster but more expensive. Benefits include plentiful flight options and on-site amenities; drawbacks can be busy terminals at peak times and occasional congestion on roads to the center.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers while also serving some low-cost airlines; it’s typically perceived as a mid-to-premium option for connections. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, travel to Sultanahmet or Taksim can take 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares often falling in a mid-range band; the Havaist and IETT airport buses are cheaper alternatives (roughly 60–120 minutes depending on route) and the newly extended metro line provides faster links. Pros: modern facilities and plentiful transfer options; cons: distance from the old city and occasional heavy road congestion. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) mainly serves low-cost and regional carriers and can be a budget-friendly choice for domestic and certain international flights. It sits on the Asian side about 35–45 km from central Istanbul, meaning trips to Kadıköy or Taksim are commonly 40–90 minutes by taxi, with fares that are typically lower than long-haul arrivals but can rise in traffic; public options include Havatas/Havabus shuttles, municipal buses, and a slower but cheaper ferry/metro combination via nearby terminals. Pros: often cheaper fares and fewer crowds; cons: farther from European-side attractions and longer surface travel times during peak hours.
