Airlines flying from Rabat to Istanbul
Who flies from Rabat to Istanbul? Air Arabia. Between them the route runs several a week. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for the date you travel and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
Departure: Rabat-Salé Airport (RBA)
Your journey starts at Rabat-Salé Airport (RBA). 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. There is no train at Rabat-Salé Airport; a city bus and taxis run from the terminal, and the ONCF stations in the city are a taxi ride away. A private car is the simplest way to reach a hotel in the medina, Agdal or Hay Riad, especially with luggage, and onward travel to Casablanca, Fes or Tangier is easy by car.
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Rabat to Rabat-Salé Airport
- Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Rabat-Salé Airport
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
Arrival: Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) and getting into Istanbul
Arrival is at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in Istanbul with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.
Onward flights or trains from Istanbul the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Rabat to Istanbul departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Rabat to Istanbul flight
Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Rabat to Istanbul. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.
- 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 Rabat to Istanbul
Families fly the Rabat 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 travellers fly from Rabat to Istanbul include Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar and Galata Tower. For the first meal, try Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş, baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy and meze on a Bosphorus terrace.
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 Rabat 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 Rabat 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 Rabat
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Istanbul to Rabat booked with the outbound is frequently 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 Rabat to Istanbul?
"How much is the Rabat 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 arranges the current cost for your dates in a few minutes 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 electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Rabat to Istanbul: how to pay less
Finding cheap flights from Rabat to Istanbul is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently 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
