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 Frisco
Frisco is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Dallas Love Field (DAL), 34 km (21 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,800 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW, 35 km), Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (FTW, 62 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dallas Love Field | DAL | 34 km (21 mi) | 8,800 ft | 487 ft |
| Dallas Fort Worth International Airport | DFW | 35 km (22 mi) | 13,401 ft | 607 ft |
| Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (regional) | FTW | 62 km (39 mi) | 7,502 ft | 710 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,074 km (6,260 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
