How much is a flight from Istanbul to Baghdad?

"How much is the Istanbul to Baghdad 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.

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 e-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 Istanbul to Baghdad: how to pay less

A cheap Istanbul to Baghdad 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:

• 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
• 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 generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Istanbul to Baghdad flight first, then the alternatives.

Departure: Istanbul Airport (IST)

Arrival: Baghdad International Airport (BGW) and getting into Baghdad

The flight lands at Baghdad International Airport (BGW). Baghdad is the capital of Iraq on the Tigris, with Mutanabbi street, the Abbasid palace and the Kadhimiya shrine. From arrivals you have taxis, local 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 Istanbul to Baghdad journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Istanbul to Baghdad flight

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

• 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
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Istanbul to Baghdad

Families fly the Istanbul to Baghdad 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 airline 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 carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
