Istanbul Airport (IST) serves as the city’s main international hub and a modern long-haul gateway, handling most full-service carriers and major alliances alongside some low-cost operators. It sits about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, with travel times typically 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; airport shuttle buses and the Havaist express coaches run frequent services to central districts costing roughly €5–€12. A newly extended metro line also links IST to the city, cutting commute time when schedules align. Pros: extensive facilities, many global connections, and organized ground transport. Cons: distance from the old city and variable peak-hour traffic can add time and cost to transfers. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is Istanbul’s secondary international gateway, often positioned as the budget- and low-cost-friendly option that serves many regional and European routes. Located on the Asian side, it’s about 35–45 km from central European-side attractions, with ferry-plus-transit combinations, dedicated shuttle buses, and taxis typically taking 45–75 minutes; fares for buses and Havatas shuttles are usually modest, while taxis can be pricier. It’s a practical choice for low-cost carriers and point-to-point journeys. Pros: generally lower fares and shorter queues for budget flights; cons: fewer long-haul options and longer cross-continental transfers if you need to reach the historic peninsula.
Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) serves as Azerbaijan’s main international gateway and usually functions as a regional hub for full-service carriers alongside growing low-cost operations. The airport is located about 25 km southeast of central Baku, with transit options including a 30–40 minute ride by taxi (fare typically higher than local buses), regular shuttle buses and private transfers, and occasional airport express services; expect travel times to vary with traffic. GYD is often seen as mid-range to premium for fares on long-haul routes but can offer competitively priced regional connections. Pros: modern terminals, good amenities and duty-free shopping; cons: distance from the city center and variable traffic delays.
