Flying with children, families and groups from Vienna to Istanbul
Three things to know about the flight from Vienna to Istanbul with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and usually a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.
Things to do in Istanbul when you land
the Princes' Islands, Ortaköy Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace are what most passengers come to Istanbul for. Istanbul is the only city that sits on two continents, and its arrivals split the same way: Istanbul Airport (IST) serves the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) the Asian side, with the Bosphorus bridges and the Eurasia Tunnel joining the two halves. Eat kebabs and pide in Aksaray or Fatih, Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş and baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy while you are there.
Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Istanbul; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Vienna to Istanbul
Flights from Vienna to Istanbul run all year, several a day. Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons; July and August are hot and busy, and winter brings rain, wind off the Bosphorus and the occasional snowfall. Traffic on the bridges is heaviest on weekday evenings. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.
Return flight from Istanbul to Vienna
We book the return leg from Istanbul to Vienna just as easily, typically on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much is a flight from Vienna to Istanbul?
The cost of a flight from Vienna to Istanbul depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Vienna to Istanbul flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.
Cheapest flight from Vienna to Istanbul: how to pay less
A cheap Vienna to Istanbul flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we look up for you:
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Vienna to Istanbul that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
How to book flights from Vienna to Istanbul with Haqqi Tours

We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.
- Step 1 - fill out the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Istanbul
Haqqi Tours also provides what happens around the flight: a private transfer to the airport in Vienna, a driver at Istanbul Airport (IST) with your name, and tours in Istanbul. Mention it through WhatsApp and it goes on the same confirmation.

Departure: Vienna International Airport (VIE)
Flights from Vienna to Istanbul leave from Vienna International Airport (VIE), serving Vienna - vienna is the imperial capital on the Danube, with Vienna International Airport (VIE) about 18 km south-east at Schwechat, the Ringstrasse circling the old city, and the Schönbrunn and Belvedere palaces framing a city of coffee houses, concert halls and museums. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The City Airport Train (CAT) and S7 suburban train run to Wien Mitte in 16-25 minutes, and they are good for a light traveller; from there a hotel in the Innere Stadt is a U-Bahn ride or a walk with luggage over cobbles, which is where a car door to door earns its place.
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Vienna to Vienna International Airport
- Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Vienna International Airport
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
Arrival: Istanbul Airport (IST) and getting into Istanbul
You arrive at Istanbul Airport (IST). The M11 metro links Istanbul Airport to Gayrettepe and Kağıthane, and the M4 line reaches Sabiha Gökçen; both then need a change and a walk with your bags, and Havaist and Havabüs coaches stop at fixed points rather than hotels. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Istanbul, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Onward flights or trains from Istanbul the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Vienna to Istanbul departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Vienna to Istanbul flight
Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Vienna to Istanbul. Full-service fares normally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.
- Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How much is a flight from Vienna to Istanbul?
Fares change daily with demand. We do not print prices because they would be wrong tomorrow; send the form and we reply with the real cost of the Vienna to Istanbul flight for your date, with the baggage included spelled out.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Istanbul to Vienna, or onward flights from Istanbul - and puts it all on one booking.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Yes - extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles can be added at booking on most airlines, at a lower rate than at the airport. Tell us what you are carrying.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.
Is it better to fly or take the train from Vienna to Istanbul?
For this route the flight is the practical choice - about 2 hours 30 minutes in the air. We provide trains and transfers too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
When is the best time to book the Vienna to Istanbul flight?
As soon as your dates are fixed. Low fare tiers open months ahead and rise as seats sell; holidays and summer departures fill first.
Can I book the Vienna to Istanbul flight for a group?
Of course. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book the seats together in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your hotel to Vienna International Airport and a driver waiting at Istanbul Airport, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
How early should I be at Vienna International Airport?
About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.
Do I need to print the e-ticket?
No. The electronic ticket and booking reference on your phone are all you need at check-in; we send both and remind you to bring the passport or ID used in the booking.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
Change and refund rules depend on the carrier and the fare class; some tickets are flexible, the cheapest are not. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same WhatsApp thread.
What happens if I miss the flight?
It depends on the fare: the cheapest tickets are lost, flexible ones can be rebooked for a fee or free. We spell out the rules of your fare before you commit to anything and help in the WhatsApp chat if something goes wrong on the day.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 2 hours 30 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.
Can I choose my seat?
Normally yes - free at check-in on most airlines, or for a small charge at booking. Say what you prefer when we message you and we add it.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Yes, at their own fares: infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced rate, children from two need a seat and generally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.
