Taxi fares change often due to inflation. Many factors can add to the fare including traffic during rush hour, whether or not you need to cross a bridge, and which side of the city you need to reach. If you need to use a taxi, download the Bitaksi app so that there’s a record of the fare and ratings of the driver. Always snap a photo of the license plate before entering the cab and be sure the driver turns in the meter. You can report complaints to the municipality by calling 153.
It depends on where in the city. IST is on the European side and SAW is on the Asian side. Depending on the time of day and the amount of traffic it can take hours to reach either airport, so it’s really best to consult an app like google maps or ask your hotel to estimate the time. Note that it is sometimes faster to reach the airport by metro vs sitting in traffic, or to use the metro to get closer to your destination, then taxi. You can also get between the continents by ferry if you don’t have much luggage!
Istanbul Airport (IST) is huge! People often comment on the distance and time it takes to get to the gates from the central area with shopping and dining. There is a wonderful airport app that can calculate the time and direct you to your gate, plus give you flight updates so you won’t need to keep checking the screens. Definitely give itself a bit of extra time to get to your gate if possible!
