How do I know which airport I land at?

Your booking confirmation and boarding pass carry a three-letter code next to the arrival airport. IST is Istanbul Airport. SAW is Sabiha Gökçen.

Does the same advice hold for every Istanbul airport?

No. Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen are different journeys with different operators and fares, which is why each has its own comparison. Anything that does not reach Taksim Square is kept out of the ranking rather than compared against it.
