Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is Georgia’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for full-service and regional carriers alongside a growing number of low-cost airlines. It sits about 17 km southeast of the city center, with travel times to central Tbilisi usually around 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can range from modest fixed-rate airport taxis to slightly cheaper app-based rides. Public transit options include an express bus and local minibuses that take roughly 40–60 minutes for less cost. Pros: relatively compact terminals and frequent connections; cons: peak-hour road congestion and fewer late-night public transport choices compared with bigger hubs.
Istanbul is served by two main airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located roughly 35–50 km from the historic center, with travel times typically 30–60 minutes by taxi or 40–75 minutes by shuttle/bus depending on traffic — expect fares to be mid/high compared with local standards. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is often positioned as the budget and secondary airport on the Asian side, favoured by low-cost and some regional airlines; it sits about 40–50 km from central sites with onward buses, shared shuttles and taxis taking around 45–90 minutes at generally lower fares. Pros: IST offers extensive connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be cheaper and less crowded; cons: both can be affected by Istanbul’s heavy traffic and longer transfer times between airports.
