Flying with children, families and groups from Dubai to Istanbul
Families fly the Dubai to Istanbul route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline 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 carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Istanbul when you land
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. The reasons travellers fly from Dubai to Istanbul include Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar and Galata Tower. For the first meal, try simit and tea at any corner, a fish sandwich by the Galata Bridge and kebabs and pide in Aksaray or Fatih.
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 Dubai 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 Dubai 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 Dubai
We book the return leg from Istanbul to Dubai 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 Dubai to Istanbul?
"How much is the Dubai to Istanbul flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for the date you travel within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
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 Dubai to Istanbul: how to pay less
Finding cheap flights from Dubai to Istanbul is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:
- 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 look up
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Dubai to Istanbul?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Once you confirm and payment is arranged in the same conversation, we issue the ticket and send the e-ticket and booking reference.
- Step 1 - complete 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

Airlines flying from Dubai to Istanbul
Who flies from Dubai to Istanbul? Emirates, Turkish Airlines, flydubai, Pegasus and AJet. Between them the route runs 10+ a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your date and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
- Emirates - Dubai to Istanbul
- Turkish Airlines - Dubai to Istanbul
- flydubai - Dubai to Istanbul
- Pegasus - Dubai to Istanbul
- AJet - Dubai to Istanbul
Departure: Dubai International Airport (DXB)
Your journey starts at Dubai International Airport (DXB). 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 Dubai Metro Red Line runs from DXB Terminals 1 and 3 through Downtown to the Marina and Expo, and it is genuinely useful for a light traveller; with family luggage, or for a villa or hotel off the line, a car door to door is faster and cooler.
- 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 electronic ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Dubai to Dubai International 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 accommodation 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; tell us and we choose a Dubai to Istanbul departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Dubai to Istanbul flight
On board, the Dubai to Istanbul flight is about 5 hours: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Let us know who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.
- 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
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I book a return flight from Istanbul to Dubai?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with the date you come back; we compare a round-trip fare against two one-ways and book the cheaper one. Not sure of the return yet? We explain the flexible options.
How long is the flight from Dubai to Istanbul?
Roughly 5 hours non-stop between Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Istanbul Airport (IST). Exact times depend on the carrier and the departure; we send them with each option.
When is the best time to book the Dubai to Istanbul flight?
As soon as your dates are fixed. Low fare tiers open months ahead and rise as seats sell; holidays and summer departures fill first.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 5 hours flight. We send the cost of both.
Which airlines fly from Dubai to Istanbul?
Emirates, Turkish Airlines, flydubai, Pegasus and AJet. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your date and send the ones that make sense.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Yes - extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles can be added at booking on most airlines, at a lower rate than at the airport. Let us know what you are carrying.
Do I need to print the e-ticket?
No - the electronic ticket and the booking reference on your phone are enough for check-in. We send both and remind you to carry the passport or ID used for booking.
Is baggage included in the Dubai to Istanbul flight ticket?
It depends on the fare: full-service fares typically include a checked bag, low-cost fares include a cabin bag only. We tell you exactly what is included before you book and add a suitcase at the cheaper booking rate if you need one.
What is the cheapest flight from Dubai to Istanbul?
Typically an early-booked mid-week departure on the airline with the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Tell us if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Dubai to Istanbul flight across the days you can travel.
Can I book the Dubai to Istanbul flight for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of passengers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the airline for a group fare.
Can I choose my seat?
Generally yes - free at check-in on most airlines, or for a small charge at booking. Say what you prefer when we message you and we add it.
How do I book flights from Dubai to Istanbul?
Complete the form above with your date, one-way or return, the number of adults and children and the class. Haqqi Tours messages you in the WhatsApp chat with the flights, the baggage included and the cost; you confirm, we book and send the e-ticket.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The airline rebooks you and, depending on the rules that apply, may owe assistance or compensation; our WhatsApp desk helps you through it. If you have a transfer booked with us the driver tracks the flight.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the airline and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest normally cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
Where do I land in Istanbul?
Istanbul Airport (IST). Taxis and metro, tram or bus leave from arrivals, and Haqqi Tours can have a driver waiting with your name.
