Saransk Airport (SKX) is a small regional airport serving the capital of the Republic of Mordovia and typically handles domestic flights with a focus on Russian carriers and seasonal charters. It functions as a practical point of entry rather than a major international hub, so fares can often be more affordable than larger airports but may vary with limited competition. The airport is about 14 km northeast of Saransk city centre; taxis and ride-hailing are the quickest option, usually taking 20–30 minutes and costing the equivalent of a modest local fare, while local buses provide a cheaper, longer ride. Pros: compact terminal and short walking distances for transfers; cons: limited facilities, fewer airline choices and less frequent services compared with bigger airports.
Istanbul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the newer international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, often seen as a premium gateway; it sits about 40–50 km northwest of the historic centre, with Havaist airport shuttles and taxis taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic (shuttle fares typically run mid-range, taxis vary). Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is commonly used by low-cost and regional airlines and can be cheaper on budget routes; it lies about 35–45 km from central Istanbul, reachable by bus, Havabüs shuttles, metro link (partial) and taxis in about 45–75 minutes. Pros: IST offers modern facilities, extensive connections and premium lounges; SAW can have lower fares and less congestion for some routes. Cons: both airports can be distant from the old city and travel times vary widely with Istanbul traffic, so plan extra time for transfers.
