Baggage, seats and classes on the Istanbul to Moscow flight

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

Flying with children, families and groups from Istanbul to Moscow

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

Things to do in Moscow when you land

VDNKh exhibition park, Sparrow Hills viewpoint, Red Square and St Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin and the Armoury and the Bolshoi Theatre are what most travellers come to Moscow for. Moscow is the capital of Russia, a city of ring roads around the Kremlin and Red Square, served by three main airports: Sheremetyevo (SVO) about 30 km north-west, Domodedovo (DME) about 45 km south and Vnukovo (VKO) about 30 km south-west, each linked to the centre by an Aeroexpress train. Eat tea with a syrniki breakfast, borscht and pelmeni and blini with sour cream while you are there.

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

Best time to fly from Istanbul to Moscow

Summer is warm and long-lit, winter is cold with snow from December to March, and the ring roads are slow at weekday rush hours in every season. On the flight from Istanbul to Moscow, 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 Moscow to Istanbul

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Moscow 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 Moscow?

The cost of a flight from Istanbul to Moscow depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, 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 through 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 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 Moscow: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Istanbul to Moscow is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• 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 usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Tell us 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

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