Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles: Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, while Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side tends to host many low-cost and regional airlines. IST sits roughly 40–50 km from the historic center; typical transit options include fast metro/bus links and taxis taking around 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying from moderate public-transport rates to higher taxi fares. SAW is about 35–45 km away and can be reached by express shuttle buses, metro connections in parts, or taxis in 45–75 minutes. IST offers more lounges and transfer facilities for international connections, but transfer times can be longer due to size; SAW can be cheaper and quicker for travelers based on the Asian side, though it may be more limited in services and international connections.

Rabat–Salé Airport (RBA) serves Morocco’s capital region as a modest international gateway rather than a large hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on mainly European and regional routes. Flights to RBA can be competitively priced compared with Casablanca for certain connections, especially low-cost options. The airport lies about 8–10 km northeast of Rabat’s city center; taxis typically take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic (fares around the equivalent of a few euros), while shared shuttles or regional buses are slower but cheaper. Pros: compact layout and relatively short transfer times. Cons: fewer long-haul and night-flight options, and limited public-transport frequency at off-peak hours.
