Tashkent International Airport (TAS) is Uzbekistan’s primary international gateway and typically functions as the country’s main hub for full-service carriers and regional connections. National carrier Uzbekistan Airways and several Middle Eastern, Russian and Central Asian airlines commonly operate here, while low-cost options can be limited. The airport sits about 8–12 km northeast of the city centre; taxi rides usually take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often in a modest local range, while shared shuttles and prebooked transfers can be slightly cheaper. Pros include a compact layout and direct international links; cons can be occasional crowding and fewer budget-carrier choices than some regional airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Tashkent to Istanbul vary: minimum — $151 (August 2026), maximum — $174 (January 2027). Typically, the flight costs $162–$164.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub, handling long-haul and intercontinental flights and serving flag carrier and full-service airlines alongside many international carriers. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, it can take roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic; the airport is linked by Havaist and IETT buses (fares typically vary by route), taxis and app-based rideshares, and a growing rail connection that shortens transfer times. Expect a broad range of services and shopping options but potentially longer walks between terminals and variable queue times at peak hours. Overall it’s convenient for international connections but can be farther and busier than older city airports. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) functions largely as a secondary Istanbul hub with a stronger profile for low-cost and regional carriers and some full-service operators. Situated on the Asian side about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet or Taksim, travel by car or taxi usually takes 40–70 minutes; public buses and shuttle services provide economical links and the Marmaray plus metro extensions are reducing transfer times and adding alternatives. Tickets and transfers can be cheaper than at the main international airport, but passengers may face fewer onward connection choices and more limited late-night services. It’s often preferred for budget-conscious travelers and point-to-point flights to domestic and nearby international destinations.
