How much is a flight from Izmir to Istanbul?

Flight prices from Izmir to Istanbul 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.

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 Izmir to Istanbul flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Izmir to Istanbul: how to pay less

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

• 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
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Izmir to Istanbul?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Departure: Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB)

Flights from Izmir to Istanbul leave from Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB), serving Izmir - İzmir is Turkey's third city and the capital of the Aegean coast, with Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) about 18 km south of the Konak waterfront, the Kordon promenade and bazaar in the centre, and Çeşme, Kuşadası, Ephesus and Pergamon within a couple of hours by road. 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 İZBAN suburban train links ADB to the city centre and the metro network, which works for a light traveller; for a hotel in Alsancak with luggage, or anywhere on the coast, a car is far simpler.

• 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
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Izmir to Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport

Arrival: Istanbul Airport (IST) and getting into Istanbul

You arrive at Istanbul Airport (IST). 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. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Istanbul, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Onward flights or trains from Istanbul the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Izmir to Istanbul departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Izmir to Istanbul flight

Before you compare the Izmir to Istanbul 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 offers 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.

• 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
• 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Izmir to Istanbul

Three things to know about the flight from Izmir to Istanbul with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and normally a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Istanbul when you land

Ortaköy Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar are what most travellers come to Istanbul for. 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. Eat Turkish breakfast in Beşiktaş, baklava and Turkish delight in Karaköy and meze on a Bosphorus terrace while you are there.

We offer tours and transfers in Istanbul as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Izmir to Istanbul

Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons; July and August are hot and busy, and winter brings rain, wind off the Bosphorus and the occasional snowfall. Traffic on the bridges is heaviest on weekday evenings. On the flight from Izmir to Istanbul, 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 Istanbul to Izmir
