How much is a flight from Liverpool to Istanbul?

"How much is the Liverpool 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 offers 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 Liverpool to Istanbul: how to pay less

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

• 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 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

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

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.

Departure: Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL)

Flights from Liverpool to Istanbul leave from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL), serving Liverpool - liverpool is the city of the Beatles and the Mersey, with the Albert Dock, two cathedrals and two football clubs. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times.

• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• 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
