In both cases, taking the RER B overground rail link is a good route to the departure terminal. Trains run straight to CDG from central Paris. Those headed to Orly will need to alight at Orlyval Station, then catch a special shuttle bus to the airport itself. Additionally, there are low cost bus services from Le Bus Direct and Roissybus, with a variety of departure points located across central Paris. Expect transfer times to take 25-35 minutes by train, and 40-60 minutes by bus.

Most flights arrive at the newly opened Istanbul Airport (also known as Ataturk). From there, the best public transport option is to take IETT or Havaist buses, which serve Sultanahmet and Gezi Park in the center of town. Those arriving at Sabiha Gokcen will be slightly further away from the city itself. They can catch Havabus services, which tend to take around 90 minutes - and taxis can be expected to take 70-80 minutes. So plan for fairly lengthy transfer durations.
