Which Istanbul airport should you connect through?
Follow your long-haul flight. If it lands at Istanbul Airport (IST) — where Turkish Airlines’ flights from the UK, the US and Australia arrive — continue with Turkish Airlines to Nevşehir, ideally on the same ticket so your bags go through. If you land at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), AJet is the natural onward flight.
Avoid switching between IST and SAW unless you have several hours: they are on opposite sides of the Bosphorus and the road between them is often congested.
When Kayseri makes more sense
If no Nevşehir flight fits your dates, Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) has a wider choice — Turkish Airlines, AJet, Pegasus, SunExpress and seasonal flights from Europe. The trade-off is the drive: about 78 km to Göreme instead of 40 km. Our Nevşehir or Kayseri guide compares the two in detail.
