Things to do in Jeddah when you land

Obhur Creek beaches, the old Al-Alawi souk, the Jeddah Sculpture Museum along the Corniche, Al-Balad's historic houses and Naseef House and the Jeddah Corniche and King Fahd's Fountain are what most travellers come to Jeddah for. Jeddah is Saudi Arabia's Red Sea gateway and the port of pilgrims to Makkah, with King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) about 20 km north of the old town, the Corniche running along the coast, and the coral-stone houses of Al-Balad at its historic core. Eat Hejazi ma'soub, sobia in Ramadan and saleeg, Jeddah's creamy rice while you are there.

If you want the days in Jeddah organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it through WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Istanbul to Jeddah

Flights from Istanbul to Jeddah run all year, 10+ a day. Jeddah is warm year-round and humid in summer; the airport is busiest around Ramadan, Hajj and the winter holidays, when the airport road and the Corniche slow down in the evenings. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Jeddah to Istanbul

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Jeddah to Istanbul booked with the outbound is often 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 Istanbul to Jeddah?

"How much is the Istanbul to Jeddah 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 dates quickly 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 Istanbul to Jeddah: how to pay less

A cheap Istanbul to Jeddah flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we look up for you:

• 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
• 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

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

Airlines flying from Istanbul to Jeddah

Who flies from Istanbul to Jeddah? Turkish Airlines, Saudia, flynas, Pegasus and AJet. Between them the route runs 10+ a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your date and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.

• Turkish Airlines - Istanbul to Jeddah
• Saudia - Istanbul to Jeddah
• flynas - Istanbul to Jeddah
• Pegasus - Istanbul to Jeddah
• AJet - Istanbul to Jeddah

Departure: Istanbul Airport (IST)

Your journey starts at Istanbul Airport (IST). 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. The M11 metro links Istanbul Airport to Gayrettepe and Kağıthane, and the M4 line reaches Sabiha Gökçen; both then need a change and a walk with your bags, and Havaist and Havabüs coaches stop at fixed points rather than hotels.

• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Istanbul 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
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly

Arrival: King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) and getting into Jeddah

The flight lands at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED). Jeddah is Saudi Arabia's Red Sea gateway and the port of pilgrims to Makkah, with King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) about 20 km north of the old town, the Corniche running along the coast, and the coral-stone houses of Al-Balad at its historic core. From arrivals you have taxis, public 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 Jeddah journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Many passengers continue from Jeddah to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Istanbul to Jeddah flight

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

• 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
• 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Istanbul to Jeddah

Families fly the Istanbul to Jeddah 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.
