Flying with children, families and groups from Istanbul to Lisbon

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 Lisbon when you land

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, a city of seven hills and trams above the Tagus estuary, with Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) unusually close - about 7 km north-east of the centre; the Alfama, Baixa and Chiado quarters are at its heart, Belém along the river, and Sintra, Cascais and the Estoril coast within 30 km. The reasons passengers fly from Istanbul to Lisbon include the Santa Justa lift, the Oceanário at Parque das Nações, Praça do Comércio, the LX Factory and Sintra's Pena Palace. For the first meal, try a glass of ginjinha, seafood rice in Cascais and pastéis de nata in Belém.

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

Best time to fly from Istanbul to Lisbon

Flights from Istanbul to Lisbon run all year, 2-4 a day. Lisbon is mild all year, hot in July and August and busiest from May to October and at the June Santo António festivities; the Segunda Circular ring road by the airport is slowest at the weekday rush. 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 Lisbon to Istanbul

We book the return leg from Lisbon 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 Lisbon?

Flight prices from Istanbul to Lisbon follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from Istanbul to Lisbon: how to pay less

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

• 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
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify

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

Airlines flying from Istanbul to Lisbon

Turkish Airlines, TAP Air Portugal and Pegasus fly the Istanbul to Lisbon route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Turkish Airlines - Istanbul to Lisbon
• TAP Air Portugal - Istanbul to Lisbon
• Pegasus - Istanbul to Lisbon

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.

• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Istanbul to Istanbul Airport
• 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

Arrival: Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) and getting into Lisbon

Arrival is at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, a city of seven hills and trams above the Tagus estuary, with Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) unusually close - about 7 km north-east of the centre; the Alfama, Baixa and Chiado quarters are at its heart, Belém along the river, and Sintra, Cascais and the Estoril coast within 30 km. We provide airport transfers in Lisbon 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 Lisbon flight

Before you compare the Istanbul to Lisbon flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours provides the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• 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 airline; families seated together on request
