Flying with children, families and groups from Bogota to Istanbul

Families fly the Bogota to Istanbul route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

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 Topkapı Palace, the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar and Galata Tower, then the Basilica Cistern and Dolmabahçe Palace. A tip from our desk: Keep your hotel'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 Bogota 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. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Bogota to Istanbul are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from Istanbul to Bogota

We book the return leg from Istanbul to Bogota just as easily, generally 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 Bogota to Istanbul?

The cost of a flight from Bogota 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 check 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.

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 Bogota to Istanbul flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Bogota to Istanbul: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Bogota to Istanbul is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• 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
• 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
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Bogota to Istanbul?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Airlines flying from Bogota to Istanbul

On the flight from Bogota to Istanbul you can choose between Iberia and Turkish Airlines. A full-service airline usually includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

• Iberia - Bogota to Istanbul
• Turkish Airlines - Bogota to Istanbul

Departure: El Dorado International Airport (BOG)

Flights from Bogota to Istanbul leave from El Dorado International Airport (BOG), serving Bogota - bogotá is Colombia's Andean capital, with the colonial Candelaria quarter, the Gold Museum and Monserrate above the city. 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: From the airport, TransMilenio feeder buses and the city's local transport run to the centre but take time and need changes with luggage; taxis queue at the terminal; a pre-arranged private car meets you inside arrivals and takes you straight to the hotel, which is simpler for families, late arrivals and day trips to Zipaquirá, Guatavita or Villa de Leyva.

• 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 e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Bogota to El Dorado International Airport

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 hotel in Istanbul, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Bogota to Istanbul flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Bogota 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.

• 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
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
