Shiraz International Airport (SHZ) is the primary gateway for Shiraz and usually serves a mix of domestic flights and some regional/international connections, acting more as a regional hub than a major global transfer point. Carriers typically include Iran Air, Mahan Air, and smaller local airlines, with budget-conscious options available on domestic sectors. The airport lies about 15–20 km northeast of Shiraz city centre; road transfer by taxi or private car can take roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, while private shuttle services and occasional airport buses may be slightly cheaper. Expect moderate comfort and straightforward facilities—convenient for city access but can be busy at peak times, with limited premium amenities compared with major international hubs.

Istanbul is served primarily by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), each playing different roles. Istanbul Airport is positioned as the city’s main international hub, hosting many full-service carriers and long-haul connections; fares here can be mid-to-premium compared with regional alternatives. It lies roughly 35–45 km from the historic center; common transfers include taxi (30–60 min, variable tolls), Havaist shuttle buses (45–75 min, modest fares), and planned rail links. Sabiha Gökçen typically functions as a budget- and low-cost-carrier gateway on the Asian side, often attracting cheaper tickets for point-to-point travel. It sits about 40–50 km from central spots on the European side; options are airport shuttles (50–90 min), buses, and taxis with longer rides across the city. Pros of IST include extensive amenities and global connections, while SAW can be easier for low-cost fares and shorter transits to the Asian suburbs; cons include potentially long transfer times and congestion at both airports during peak periods.
