Things to do in Samsun when you land

Samsun is the largest Black Sea port city, with a long promenade and the Amisos hills. Start with the Bandırma ship museum, Amisos hill and cable car and the seafront promenade, then Amazon village.

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

Best time to fly from Istanbul to Samsun

Flights from Istanbul to Samsun run all year, 8-10 a day. High season in Samsun follows the holidays and the big events. 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 Samsun to Istanbul

We book the return leg from Samsun to Istanbul just as easily, typically 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. Let us know 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 Samsun?

The cost of a flight from Istanbul to Samsun 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 check 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.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Istanbul to Samsun flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Istanbul to Samsun: how to pay less

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

• 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
• 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 look up
• 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

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

Airlines flying from Istanbul to Samsun

Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and AJet fly the Istanbul to Samsun 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 Samsun
• Pegasus - Istanbul to Samsun
• AJet - Istanbul to Samsun

Departure: Istanbul Airport (IST)

Flights from Istanbul to Samsun leave from Istanbul Airport (IST), serving Istanbul - istanbul is the only city that sits on two continents, and its arrivals split the same way: Istanbul Airport (IST) serves the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) the Asian side, with the Bosphorus bridges and the Eurasia Tunnel joining the two halves. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: 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.

• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Istanbul to Istanbul Airport
• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Istanbul Airport

Arrival: Samsun-Çarşamba Airport (SZF) and getting into Samsun

Baggage, seats and classes on the Istanbul to Samsun flight

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