- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag

- 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

How to book flights from Montreal to Istanbul with Haqqi Tours
Booking a flight from Montreal to Istanbul with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill out the form above with your travel date, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are flying and the class you prefer. Our team then messages you through WhatsApp to check your booking: we finalise the flights available that day, the airline, the baggage included and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.
- Step 1 - fill in 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 electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Istanbul
Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Montreal to Istanbul flight with a transfer from your accommodation to Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and a driver waiting at Istanbul Airport (IST).
Airlines flying from Montreal to Istanbul
Turkish Airlines and Air Transat fly the Montreal to Istanbul route, non-stop. 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 - Montreal to Istanbul
- Air Transat - Montreal to Istanbul
Departure: Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL)
Your journey starts at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL). 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. Public buses, including an express line, and shared shuttles link the airport with downtown in roughly 45 to 60 minutes, which suits a light traveller staying near a metro station; a private car is simpler with luggage, children, a late arrival or a stay in the Plateau, Laval or the Laurentians.
- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Montreal to Montréal-Trudeau International Airport
Arrival: Istanbul Airport (IST) and getting into Istanbul
Arrival is at Istanbul Airport (IST), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in Istanbul with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.
Onward flights or trains from Istanbul the same day can be added to the booking; tell us and we choose a Montreal to Istanbul departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Montreal to Istanbul flight
Before you compare the Montreal to Istanbul flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours provides the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.
- 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 carrier; families seated together on request
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
Flying with children, families and groups from Montreal 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. Start with Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace, then the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar and Galata Tower. A tip from our desk: Keep your accommodation's full name and district handy - many Istanbul hotels share names across neighbourhoods, and the two airports are on opposite sides of the city, so always check which one your flight uses.
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 Montreal to Istanbul
Flights from Montreal to Istanbul run all year, daily. 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 Montreal
The Istanbul to Montreal flight is the same route in reverse, about 9 hours 20 minutes. 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 Montreal to Istanbul?
The cost of a flight from Montreal to Istanbul depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, 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 verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I book the Montreal to Istanbul flight for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of passengers on the form; we book the seats together in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Can I choose my seat?
Usually 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.
How do I book flights from Montreal to Istanbul?
Send the form on this page with your travel date, one-way or return, passengers and class. Our booking desk replies in the WhatsApp chat with the flights that day, the baggage each fare includes and the cost; once you confirm, the electronic ticket arrives in the same chat.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The airline rebooks you and, depending on the rules that apply, may owe assistance or compensation; our WhatsApp desk helps you through it. If you have a transfer booked with us the driver tracks the flight.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the airline and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest normally cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
Where do I land in Istanbul?
Istanbul Airport (IST). Taxis and local transport leave from arrivals, and Haqqi Tours can have a driver waiting with your name.
How much is a flight from Montreal 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 Montreal to Istanbul flight for your dates, with the baggage included spelled out.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your hotel to Montréal-Trudeau International Airport and a driver waiting at Istanbul Airport, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
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 normally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.
Are there direct flights from Montreal to Istanbul?
Yes. Turkish Airlines and Air Transat operate non-stop flights from Montreal to Istanbul daily, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.
Is it better to fly or take the train from Montreal to Istanbul?
For this route the flight is the practical choice - about 9 hours 20 minutes in the air. We provide trains and transfers too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
What happens if I miss the flight?
The best fares are forfeited; flexible fares can be rebooked for a fee or free. We tell you which rules apply before any payment, and our WhatsApp desk helps on the day if something goes wrong.
Which airport do I fly from in Montreal?
Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL). We send the terminal, the check-in closing time and, if you book it, a private transfer from your hotel.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Istanbul to Montreal, or onward flights from Istanbul - and puts it all on one booking.
How early should I be at Montréal-Trudeau 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.
