Airports at each end
Leaving Istanbul
Istanbul is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), 33 km (21 mi) from the centre, whose 11,614-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are İstanbul Airport (IST, 34 km), Tekirdağ Çorlu Airport (TEQ, 87 km), Bursa Yenişehir Airport (YEI, 99 km).
Arriving in Escondido
Escondido is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is San Diego International Airport (SAN), 44 km (27 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,401 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport (TIJ, 65 km), John Wayne Orange County International Airport (SNA, 95 km), Palm Springs International Airport (PSP, 96 km), McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD, 18 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| San Diego International Airport | SAN | 44 km (27 mi) | 9,401 ft | 17 ft |
| General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport | TIJ | 65 km (40 mi) | 9,711 ft | 489 ft |

| McClellan-Palomar Airport (regional) | CLD | 18 km (11 mi) | 4,897 ft | 331 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,067 km (6,877 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
