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, public transport 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 Copenhagen to Istanbul journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Onward flights or trains from Istanbul the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Copenhagen to Istanbul departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Copenhagen to Istanbul flight

On board, the Copenhagen to Istanbul flight is about 3 hours 30 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. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• 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
• 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 Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen to Istanbul include Topkapı Palace, the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar, Galata Tower, the Basilica Cistern and Dolmabahçe Palace. For the first meal, try a fish sandwich by the Galata Bridge, kebabs and pide in Aksaray or Fatih and Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş.

If you want the days in Istanbul organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen

We book the return leg from Istanbul to Copenhagen just as easily, typically 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 Copenhagen to Istanbul?

"How much is the Copenhagen 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 provides the current cost for the date you travel shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

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 Copenhagen to Istanbul: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Copenhagen to Istanbul is usually booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our team applies on every booking:

• 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
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares

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