Istanbul's
Atatürk International Airport
(IST) at Yesilyurt, 23
km (14 miles) west of Sultanahmet
Square, is the busiest of Turkey's
major airports.
It's the place most visitors land
first. (Here's visa
info. Here's info
on transport to/from the airport.)
The modern International Terminal Dis
Hatlar Terminali) is spacious
and efficient, with all the expected
services including ATMs (cash
machines) from which you can obtain Turkish
Liras, currency
exchange offices,
restaurants, cafes and shops, Emanet (Baggage
Check, Left Luggage) and an Airport
Hotel.
Note that prices for food
and drink at Turkish airports
tend to be very high. My
quick informal survey showed them
to be 40% higher than at expensive
Frankfurt Airport, and twice
as high as at pricey Paris-Charles
de Gaulle Airport.
Here's
information on Atatürk Airport Lost
and Found, if you've lost
or forgotten something in the airport or on an airplane.
An underground passage (15-minute
walk) connects the International Terminal
with the older Domestic Terminal (Iç Hatlar
Terminali) and also the Istanbul
Metro,
called the Hafif Metro ("Light
rail system") on many airport
terminal signs.
There are several
ways to travel between
Atatürk Airport and the city center.
Here
they are.
A half-dozen hotels are
within a few km of the airport, and
one is right within the International
terminal itself. More...
Istanbul's other airport is Sabiha
Gökçen International
Airport (SAW) on the
Asian side of the Bosphorus,
about 55 km (34 miles) east of
Atatürk
International Airport (IST). Here's how
to travel from Atatürk Airport
to Sabiha Gökçen Airport.
