Arrival: Istanbul Airport (IST) and getting into Istanbul
The flight lands at Istanbul Airport (IST). 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. From arrivals you have taxis, metro, tram or bus and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Siem Reap to Istanbul journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.
Many travellers continue from Istanbul to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Siem Reap to Istanbul flight
On board, the Siem Reap to Istanbul flight is about 11 hours: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.
- 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
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Siem Reap to Istanbul
Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.
Things to do in Istanbul when you land
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. The reasons passengers fly from Siem Reap to Istanbul include the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar, Galata Tower, the Basilica Cistern, Dolmabahçe Palace and a Bosphorus cruise between the two continents. For the first meal, try Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş, baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy and meze on a Bosphorus terrace.
We offer tours and transfers in Istanbul as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
Best time to fly from Siem Reap to Istanbul
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. On the flight from Siem Reap to Istanbul, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.
Return flight from Istanbul to Siem Reap
The Istanbul to Siem Reap flight is the same route in reverse, about 11 hours. Haqqi Tours offers the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.
How much is a flight from Siem Reap to Istanbul?
"How much is the Siem Reap to Istanbul flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
Cheapest flight from Siem Reap to Istanbul: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Siem Reap to Istanbul is generally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our team applies on every booking:
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up
- 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 typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Siem Reap to Istanbul that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Airlines flying from Siem Reap to Istanbul
Turkish Airlines and Bangkok Airways fly the Siem Reap to Istanbul route, with a connection in Bangkok. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.
- Turkish Airlines - Siem Reap to Istanbul
- Bangkok Airways - Siem Reap to Istanbul
Departure: Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (about 45 km from the town, opened in 2023) (SAI)
Your journey starts at Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (about 45 km from the town, opened in 2023) (SAI). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The new airport is about 50 km from town and there is no train or metro; airport minibuses, taxis and ride-hailing cars run to the centre, but they add up on the long drive, so a private car is simpler for a family, a late arrival, a temple-side resort or a long onward drive to Phnom Penh or Battambang.
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Siem Reap to Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (about 45 km from the town, opened in 2023)
- Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (about 45 km from the town, opened in 2023)
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
