Ulyanovsk’s airports serve mainly regional and domestic traffic, with Ulyanovsk Vostochny (ULY) handling most scheduled passenger flights and occasional charter services. The airport typically caters to Russian carriers and low-cost operators rather than acting as a major international hub, so fares can often be competitive for domestic routes. Vostochny sits around 25–30 km northeast of Ulyanovsk city center; taxi rides usually take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced, while occasional shuttle buses or private transfer options may be cheaper but slower. Pros: straightforward layout and shorter queues compared with larger airports. Cons: limited international connections and fewer on-site amenities, so travelers may want to plan connections and services in advance.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the primary international hub handling long-haul and many full-service carriers, typically offering a wide range of amenities and connections; it lies about 35–45 km northwest of the city center, with rail, bus and taxi links taking roughly 35–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing from modest rail fares up to higher taxi rates. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is positioned as a secondary, budget-friendly gateway on the Asian side and commonly hosts low-cost and regional carriers; it’s about 35–50 km from central areas, accessible by express shuttle buses, taxis and some rail connections in about 45–75 minutes, often at lower base fares but sometimes longer transfer times. Pros: IST offers extensive services and seamless transfers; SAW can be cheaper and convenient for eastern districts. Cons: both can involve long transfers across the sprawling metropolis and variable traffic, so allow extra time.
