Departure: Istanbul Airport (IST)

Istanbul Airport (IST) is where the Istanbul to Izmir flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.

Arrival: Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) and getting into Izmir

Arrival is at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB), and the first decision is how to reach the city. İzmir is Turkey's third city and the capital of the Aegean coast, with Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) about 18 km south of the Konak waterfront, the Kordon promenade and bazaar in the centre, and Çeşme, Kuşadası, Ephesus and Pergamon within a couple of hours by road. We provide airport transfers in Izmir 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.

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 Izmir flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Istanbul to Izmir. 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.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; 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
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy

Flying with children, families and groups from Istanbul to Izmir

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in Izmir when you land

the Agora of Smyrna, Kadifekale castle views, the Asansör lift, the ruins of Ephesus near Selçuk and Şirince village and its wines are what most travellers come to Izmir for. İzmir is Turkey's third city and the capital of the Aegean coast, with Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) about 18 km south of the Konak waterfront, the Kordon promenade and bazaar in the centre, and Çeşme, Kuşadası, Ephesus and Pergamon within a couple of hours by road. Eat İzmir köfte, stuffed mussels on the Kordon and Aegean olive-oil vegetable dishes while you are there.

Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Izmir; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Istanbul to Izmir

İzmir has long hot summers and mild winters; the September fair and summer weekends towards Çeşme bring the heaviest traffic on the airport motorway. On the flight from Istanbul to Izmir, 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 Izmir to Istanbul

The Izmir to Istanbul flight is the same route in reverse, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Istanbul to Izmir?

The cost of a flight from Istanbul to Izmir depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

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 Istanbul to Izmir: how to pay less

A cheap Istanbul to Izmir flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we verify 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 normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

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