Istanbul is the main link for Gulf, Egyptian and Middle Eastern travellers, since Split has no non-stop flights to Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah or Cairo; Turkish Airlines is the largest carrier and the schedule is thinner outside summer.

Departure: Split Airport (SPU)

Split Airport (SPU) is where the Split to Istanbul flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.

• 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 provides a private transfer from your hotel in Split to Split 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 Split to Istanbul flight

On board, the Split to Istanbul flight is about 2 hours 10 minutes: 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. Let us know who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• 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 airline; families seated together on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Split to Istanbul

Families fly the Split to Istanbul route with us week in, week out. 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

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 Split to Istanbul include Ortaköy Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar. For the first meal, try meze on a Bosphorus terrace, simit and tea at any corner and a fish sandwich by the Galata Bridge.

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 Split to Istanbul

Flights from Split to Istanbul run all year, about 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 Split

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Istanbul to Split booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Split to Istanbul?

"How much is the Split 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 can provide the current cost for your dates quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

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 e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
