Flying with children, families and groups from Stuttgart to Istanbul
Three things to know about the flight from Stuttgart to Istanbul with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and generally 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 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 Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş, baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy and meze on a Bosphorus terrace 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 Stuttgart 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 Stuttgart 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 Stuttgart
We book the return leg from Istanbul to Stuttgart 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. 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 Stuttgart to Istanbul?
"How much is the Stuttgart 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 date within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
Let us know 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 Stuttgart to Istanbul: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Stuttgart to Istanbul is usually booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk 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 check
- 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 typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Stuttgart to Istanbul?" many times a day; the answer for your dates comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
How to book flights from Stuttgart to Istanbul with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book a flight from Stuttgart to Istanbul is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you let us know by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.
- Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Istanbul
Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Stuttgart to Istanbul flight with a transfer from your accommodation to Stuttgart Airport (STR) and a driver waiting at Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen (IST / SAW).

Arrival: Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen (IST / SAW) and getting into Istanbul
