Flying with children, families and groups from Dubrovnik 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 travellers fly from Dubrovnik to Istanbul include Dolmabahçe Palace, a Bosphorus cruise between the two continents, the Princes' Islands, Ortaköy Mosque and Hagia Sophia. For the first meal, try kebabs and pide in Aksaray or Fatih, Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş and baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy.
Haqqi Tours provides 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 Dubrovnik to Istanbul
Flights from Dubrovnik to Istanbul run all year, about 4 a week. 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 Dubrovnik
We book the return leg from Istanbul to Dubrovnik just as easily, usually 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 Dubrovnik to Istanbul?
Flight prices from Dubrovnik to Istanbul follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline 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 in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.
Ask us 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 Dubrovnik to Istanbul: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Dubrovnik to Istanbul is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:
- 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
- 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
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Dubrovnik to Istanbul that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How early should I be at Dubrovnik 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.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier 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.
How long is the flight from Dubrovnik to Istanbul?
About 2 hours in the air, non-stop. We send the exact times of the flight you choose.
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.
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 flight. We send the cost of both.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your accommodation to Dubrovnik Airport and a driver waiting at Istanbul Airport, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
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.
Are there direct flights from Dubrovnik to Istanbul?
Of course. Turkish Airlines operate non-stop flights from Dubrovnik to Istanbul about 4 a week, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.
Is baggage included in the Dubrovnik to Istanbul flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
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 clarify the rules of your fare before any payment and help in the WhatsApp chat if something goes wrong on the day.
Can I book the Dubrovnik to Istanbul flight for a group?
Yes, absolutely. 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.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Istanbul to Dubrovnik, or onward flights from Istanbul - and puts it all on one booking.
How do I book flights from Dubrovnik to Istanbul?
Fill in the booking form on this page with your date, one-way or return, the number of adults and children and the class. Haqqi Tours messages you through WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost; you confirm, we book and send the e-ticket.
Can I book a return flight from Istanbul to Dubrovnik?
Certainly. Choose "return" on the form and give both dates; we compare a return fare with two singles and book the cheaper one. If the return date is not fixed, we explain the flexible options.
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.
