Tokyo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Narita (NRT), located about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, functions as the city’s primary international gateway and tends to host long-haul and legacy carriers; it is often perceived as slightly cheaper for international flights but can mean longer transfers. Typical access options include the Narita Express (approx. 60–90 minutes to Tokyo Station), limited express and local trains (60–100 minutes), airport buses (60–120 minutes), and taxis (roughly 90–150 minutes with higher fares); fares vary widely by service. Pros: modern facilities and many international connections; cons: longer travel time to the city and sometimes extra transfer cost. Haneda (HND), about 14–20 km south of central Tokyo, typically serves as the city’s convenient domestic hub with an increasing number of international routes and budget or full-service carriers alike. Travel times are usually short: Tokyo Monorail or Keikyu Line to central areas can take 15–30 minutes, airport limousines 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, and taxis around 20–40 minutes with higher fares; train fares and bus tickets are generally modest. Pros: close to downtown and fast transfers; cons: fewer long-haul flight options than Narita for some routes and potentially higher ticket prices on short domestic legs.
Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub handling long-haul and transfer traffic and is used by full-service carriers as well as many global alliances; fares here can be mid-to-high depending on route and season. It sits about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, with travel times by car or taxi typically 40–60 minutes (longer in heavy traffic). Metro and Havaist shuttle buses link to central districts with fares usually in the moderate range. Pros: modern facilities, extensive connections; cons: longer transfer times to central neighborhoods. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions more as a secondary, budget-leaning airport popular with low-cost and some regional carriers and can often offer cheaper fares on short-haul flights. Located roughly 35–50 km to the southeast of central Istanbul on the Asian side, it is typically 45–75 minutes away by road depending on traffic. Havabus and municipal buses plus private shuttles provide regular links; fares are commonly lower but vary by operator. Pros: often lower prices and less crowding on some routes; cons: fewer long-haul choices and potentially longer cross-city transfers if you need to reach the opposite shore.
