You can get a free transfer ticket to use these trains at the terminal station. Upon arrival, two airports serve the city of Istanbul. Istanbul Ataturk, located approximately a 60-min drive north of the city, is the most popular for flights from Heathrow; however, flights are available for Sabiha Gokcen International Airport as well.
