Airlines flying from Medellin to Istanbul
Turkish Airlines and Avianca fly the Medellin to Istanbul route, with a connection in Bogotá, Madrid or Panama City. 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.

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 Medellin to Istanbul journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.
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 Medellin to Istanbul flight
On board, the Medellin to Istanbul flight is about 20 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.
- 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
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
Flying with children, families and groups from Medellin to Istanbul
Families fly the Medellin to Istanbul route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier 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 airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Istanbul when you land
a Bosphorus cruise between the two continents, the Princes' Islands, Ortaköy Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque 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 meze on a Bosphorus terrace, simit and tea at any corner and a fish sandwich by the Galata Bridge while you are there.
If you want the days in Istanbul organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it in the WhatsApp chat.
Best time to fly from Medellin to Istanbul
Flights from Medellin to Istanbul run all year, several connections 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 Medellin
We book the return leg from Istanbul to Medellin just as easily, normally 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. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much is a flight from Medellin to Istanbul?
Flight prices from Medellin to Istanbul follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you on WhatsApp before you decide.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Medellin to Istanbul: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Medellin 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:
- 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
- Tell us 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
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Medellin to Istanbul?" many times a day; the answer for the date you travel comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
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.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
Of course. Haqqi Tours provides flight tickets on any route; Istanbul to Medellin and onward flights from Istanbul can all go on the same booking.
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 20 hours flight. We send the cost of both.
What is the cheapest flight from Medellin to Istanbul?
Typically an early-booked mid-week departure on the airline with the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Tell us if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Medellin to Istanbul flight across the days you can travel.

Not on most days; the journey is made with a connection in Bogotá, Madrid or Panama City. We choose the connection with a safe layover and send both legs on one ticket.
