Cheap Flights from Stavropol to Istanbul — $100

Stavropol Airport (STW) serves as the region’s main civil aviation gateway and typically functions as a modest domestic hub rather than an international gateway. You’ll usually find flights operated by Russian carriers and low-cost regional operators, so fares can often be competitive for short-haul routes. The airport lies about 10–15 km east of Stavropol city center, with road transfers taking roughly 15–30 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and local shuttle buses are the common options, with taxi fares usually being modest and shared shuttles cheaper. Pros: compact terminals and short transfer times make arrivals and departures straightforward. Cons: limited international services and fewer amenities compared with larger hubs.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub for long-haul and full-service carriers and typically handles most intercontinental and premium flights. It’s located on the city’s European side roughly 35–45 km from the historic center; transfer times can be 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or about 40–60 minutes by Havaist/shuttle buses with fares usually in the mid-range for city airport routes. Rail connections are planned/expanding but currently less direct than road links. Pros: modern facilities, wide airline choice, extensive route network; cons: distance from some central districts and occasional heavy traffic on surface transfers. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) functions largely as Istanbul’s secondary hub and is often favored by low-cost and regional carriers. Situated on the city’s Asian side about 35–50 km from central Sultanahmet or Taksim, travel time is commonly 45–75 minutes by taxi or 60–90+ minutes by public buses and commuter transfer services; fare ranges for buses and shuttles are typically modest. It can be a budget-friendly alternative with frequent domestic and short-haul connections, but it may be less convenient for travelers staying on the European side and can have more limited late-night/transfer options.
