Strasbourg Airport (SXB) functions mainly as a regional and international gateway rather than a major long-haul hub, serving a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines on short- to medium-haul routes. Located about 10–12 km southwest of the city centre, it’s typically a short drive — around 15–25 minutes depending on traffic — with taxi fares commonly in the moderate range and regular shuttle buses offering cheaper transfers in roughly 25–35 minutes. Car rental and limited public bus services can be convenient for onward travel. Pros: compact terminal, generally quick walk times and straightforward arrivals; cons: fewer direct intercontinental connections and less frequent late-night service compared with larger hubs.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international gateway and a large hub for full-service carriers, typically hosting Turkish Airlines alongside many global airlines. It’s positioned on the city’s European side about 40–50 km from central neighborhoods (Taksim/Sultanahmet), with travel times to downtown often ranging from 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Public options include the metro and Havaist/shuttle buses usually taking 40–70 minutes with fares varying by service level. Pros: modern facilities, extensive connections and frequent flight choices; cons: can be far from some central districts and longer transfer times during peak traffic. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) primarily serves low-cost and regional carriers and can be a budget-friendly alternative for many travelers. Located on the Asian side roughly 35–45 km from central European-side attractions, typical road journeys to the heart of the city can take 45–75 minutes by taxi. There are regular Havabus shuttles, municipal buses and private transfers with journey times commonly in the 60–90 minute range depending on route and traffic; fares are usually lower than premium airport express options. Pros: often cheaper fares and shorter waits; cons: more limited long-haul connections and longer cross-city transfers if you need to reach the European side.
