Things to do in Alexandria when you land

Alexandria is Egypt's Mediterranean city, with the Corniche, the new Bibliotheca, the Qaitbay fort and the catacombs. Start with El Alamein, the Corniche and the Qaitbay Citadel, then the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Roman amphitheatre at Kom el-Dikka. A tip from our desk: Send us your flight number and your hotel pin; the streets around Raml Station are narrow and traffic is heavy in the late afternoon, so keep a buffer before a departing flight.

We offer tours and transfers in Alexandria as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Istanbul to Alexandria

The best months are March to May and September to November, with mild weather and sea breezes; summer is warm and humid and the beaches are busy from July to August, while winter brings cool rainy spells and storms on the coast. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Istanbul to Alexandria 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 Alexandria to Istanbul

We book the return leg from Alexandria to Istanbul just as easily, usually 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 Istanbul to Alexandria?

"How much is the Istanbul to Alexandria 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 offers the current cost for your travel date in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

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 Istanbul to Alexandria flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Istanbul to Alexandria: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Istanbul to Alexandria is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• 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 often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know 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 Istanbul to Alexandria?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Istanbul to Alexandria flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Istanbul to Alexandria. Full-service fares generally 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.

• 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
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
