If my final destination is Bursa City, Turkey, is landing in istanbul airport my best option?
My final destination is bursa city in Turkey. I can have direct flight to Istanbul, from my city alexandria, Egypt but is it best to land in istanbul or should I land in another airport?
I will travel with my 2 kids and wife and I mean by best affordable and comfortable for my wife and kids.
I’m really worried how would I move with at least 3 big luggage and 2 small bags with my two kids. They are almost two years so too heavy to carry and if I used a baby car it would be difficult to move two baby cars and the luggage even with my wife’s help. So transmitting to ferry from taxi and then another taxi doesn’t seem plausible to me
I do believe that travelling with my family to cairo will be more comfortable and cheaper than travelling long distance in Turkey. But I am not sure if I took off from cairo airport that would allow me to land near Bursa.
There are a lot of international airports in Turkey and i am confused and most online booking websites doesn't allow you to specify generic destination and give you best route.
Thank you for advance.

I have never been to the new Istanbul airport, yet I know that it is far from the city centre and commuting from there might be problematic.
Your travel itinerary would look like this:
- Arriving to SAW
- Taking either the city buses (E-11), Havabus or taxi to Kadikoy. If you won't spend time in Istanbul, Havabus is easier because as long as you have cash, you will be alright. You need a card for the city bus. I suspect you can buy the card around, but with the cost of the card itself, you would pay more. Alternatively you can take a taxi. It should cost a little more than 100 TRY, or £11. For two adults, considering the current pandemic, taxi makes more sense.
- Taking IDO ferry from Kadikoy to Bursa. If you can download the Kadikoy map to Google Maps, it would be easier to locate those places.
