Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen

Scores

Getting there

On the Asian side, far from Sultanahmet and Taksim. The M4 metro reaches Kadikoy in about an hour; Havabus to Taksim takes about 90 minutes; a taxi to the European side can take two hours in traffic.

Terminal and queues

A single terminal used by Pegasus and other low-cost carriers. It is crowded and gates are often bus gates; security lines can be long at dawn.

Connections and transit

Good for cheap Pegasus connections to Europe, but Pegasus sells separate tickets, so a missed connection is your problem. Transferring to Istanbul Airport takes two to three hours.

Food, rest, SIM, prayer room

Prayer room, halal food and SIM counters, but fewer seats and lounges than Istanbul Airport. Cash lira helps; Iranian cards do not work.

Delays and cancellations

No airport-level ranking found; low-cost schedules are tight and late-evening departures slip. Treated as average.
