Airlines flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul
Who flies from Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul? Turkish Airlines. Between them the route runs daily. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your dates and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
Departure: Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN)
Flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul leave from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), serving Ho Chi Minh City - ho Chi Minh City is the energetic southern capital of Vietnam, with Ben Thanh market, the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong delta. 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: Metro line 1 and city buses do not stop at the airport terminal, so most visitors take a taxi, ride-hailing car or a private transfer; a private car with a driver waiting at arrivals is the easiest choice after a long flight, with luggage or for a hotel outside District 1.
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City to Tan Son Nhat International Airport
- Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Tan Son Nhat International Airport
- 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
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.
Many travellers continue from Istanbul to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul flight
Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul. Full-service fares typically 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 carrier; 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
Flying with children, families and groups from Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul
Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.
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 passengers fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul include Galata Tower, the Basilica Cistern, Dolmabahçe Palace, a Bosphorus cruise between the two continents and the Princes' Islands. 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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 Ho Chi Minh City
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Istanbul to Ho Chi Minh City booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much is a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul?
"How much is the Ho Chi Minh City 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 your date quickly 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 Ho Chi Minh City to Istanbul: how to pay less

- 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 check
- 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
