Sacramento International (SMF) functions as the primary airport for California’s capital, typically serving a mix of legacy and low-cost carriers with regular domestic flights and some seasonal connections. It’s positioned as a regional hub rather than a major international gateway, so fares can often be competitive compared with larger Bay Area airports. The airport sits about 10–15 miles northwest of downtown Sacramento; travel by car or rideshare usually takes 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, while light rail plus a short bus or shuttle can take 30–45 minutes with modest transit fares. Pros: compact terminals and generally short security lines; cons: fewer nonstop long-haul options and limited late-night service.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and many full-service carriers; it’s located about 35–45 km from the historic center, typically a 40–60 minute drive depending on traffic. Metro, airport shuttle buses and taxis connect to central districts—expect transit fares to be moderate for public options and higher for taxis. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used by low-cost and regional airlines, roughly 40–60 km from Sultanahmet and usually 50–90 minutes by road; frequent shuttle buses, ferry-plus-bus combos and taxis are common. Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be cheaper on low-cost carriers and more convenient for eastern suburbs. Cons: both can involve long transfers in heavy traffic; SAW may have fewer long-haul options.
