Airlines flying from Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul

On the flight from Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul you can choose between Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, AJet and Air Cairo. A full-service airline generally 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.

  • Turkish Airlines - Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul
  • Pegasus - Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul
  • AJet - Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul
  • Air Cairo - Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul

Departure: Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH)

Your journey starts at Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Sharm has no rail; buses link the airport and the bus station outside town, not the resort gates, and the coastal road between Nabq and Hadaba is long, so a fixed-price car is the standard arrival.

  • 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 can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Sharm El Sheikh to Sharm El Sheikh 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.

Many passengers continue from Istanbul to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul flight

Before you compare the Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours arranges the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

  • 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
  • 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul

Three things to know about the flight from Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and normally a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Istanbul when you land

Ortaköy Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar are what most travellers 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 Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş, baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy and meze on a Bosphorus terrace while you are there.

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 Sharm El Sheikh 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. On the flight from Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Istanbul to Sharm El Sheikh

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Istanbul to Sharm El Sheikh 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 Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul?

Flight prices from Sharm El Sheikh 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 through WhatsApp before you decide.

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 Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul: how to pay less

A cheap Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:

  • Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
  • Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually 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 Sharm El Sheikh to Istanbul?" many times a day; the answer for your dates comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
