Saratov is served primarily by Saratov Gagarin Airport (GSV), which functions as the region’s main commercial gateway for domestic and select international flights, and by the older Saratov Central (sometimes referenced as Domodedovo/Saratov old airfield) for general aviation. Gagarin typically hosts Russian carriers like Aeroflot, S7 and low-cost regional operators, so fares can be moderate compared with larger hubs. The airport sits roughly 13–20 km southeast of Saratov city center; road transfer by taxi or ride-hailing usually takes about 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally affordable, while occasional bus or shuttle services can take 30–50 minutes for lower cost. Pros: straightforward layout and regular regional connections; cons: fewer international routes and more limited amenities than major hubs.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and major carrier traffic and serving as a key transfer point between Europe and Asia. Major full-service airlines typically operate here, though some low-cost carriers also use the airport; fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. Located about 35–50 km northwest of the historic center, typical connections include Havaist airport buses (around 40–90 minutes, moderate fares), municipal buses, taxis (roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, metered fare plus possible surcharges) and a growing rail link. Pros: extensive facilities, many lounges and onward connections; cons: distance from the city center can mean longer transfer times and variable traffic-related delays. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is Istanbul’s secondary international airport and is often positioned as a more budget- and low-cost-carrier-friendly option, with many regional and low-cost airlines serving domestic and European routes. It sits on the Asian side about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet/ Taksim, and transfers are typically by Havabus shuttles or municipal buses (roughly 60–90 minutes), taxis (about 45–75 minutes depending on traffic, metered fares apply) and a private airport shuttle network; a commuter rail extension is in progress in parts. Pros: can be cheaper and quicker for travelers on the Asian side or budget carriers; cons: fewer long-haul connections and fewer premium services compared with the larger airport.
