From arrivals you have taxis, metro, tram or bus and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Kona to Istanbul journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Things to do in Istanbul when you land

Best time to fly from Kona to Istanbul

Flights from Kona to Istanbul run all year, several connections a day. 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. 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 Istanbul to Kona

We book the return leg from Istanbul to Kona 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. 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 Kona to Istanbul?

"How much is the Kona 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 arranges the current cost for your dates quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
