Cheapest flight from Istanbul to Rize: how to pay less
A cheap Istanbul to Rize 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:
- 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
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Istanbul to Rize that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
How to book flights from Istanbul to Rize with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book a flight from Istanbul to Rize is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you tell us through WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.
- Step 1 - fill out the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Rize
Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Istanbul to Rize flight with a transfer from your hotel to Istanbul Airport (IST) and a driver waiting at Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV).
Airlines flying from Istanbul to Rize
On the flight from Istanbul to Rize you can choose between Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and AJet. A full-service airline usually includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.
- Turkish Airlines - Istanbul to Rize
- Pegasus - Istanbul to Rize
- AJet - Istanbul to Rize
Departure: Istanbul Airport (IST)
Istanbul Airport (IST) is where the Istanbul to Rize 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.
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Istanbul to Istanbul Airport
- Let us know 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: Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV) and getting into Rize
You arrive at Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV). There is no rail on this coast; minibuses run between the towns and up to Ayder in season, but highland villages such as Pokut have no local transport and need a driver who knows the tracks. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Rize, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
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 Rize flight
Before you compare the Istanbul to Rize 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 can provide 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
Flying with children, families and groups from Istanbul to Rize
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 Rize when you land
the Rize Castle tea garden, Gito plateau, Palovit waterfall, Anzer honey valley and Ayder plateau and its hot springs are what most travellers come to Rize for. Rize is the tea capital of Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast, its hills terraced with tea gardens above the sea; Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV), built on reclaimed land east of the city, opened in 2022, and Trabzon Airport (TZX) is about 80 km to the west. Ayder plateau, Çamlıhemşin and the Fırtına valley lie in the mountains behind. Eat mıhlama (kuymak), Laz böreği and hamsi dishes in season while you are there.
Haqqi Tours provides guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Rize; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Istanbul to Rize
Flights from Istanbul to Rize run all year, 5-8 a day. Rize is wet all year and green because of it; summer is the highland season for Ayder and Pokut, while winter snow closes the highest plateaus and keeps the coast road open. 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 Rize to Istanbul
The Rize to Istanbul flight is the same route in reverse, about 1 hour 55 minutes. Haqqi Tours offers 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 Rize?
Flight prices from Istanbul to Rize follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier 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 on WhatsApp before you decide.
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.

Certainly. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the carrier for a group fare.

Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the carrier and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest generally cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
