Nonstop services change by season. Check the search results for current options.

Nonstop or one stop?

The nonstop flight is the most comfortable choice, especially with children. One-stop itineraries via Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul are often cheaper and give you a break halfway. Compare the total travel time, not just the price.

Cheapest time to fly

  • Usually cheapest: May, June and September, outside French school holidays.
  • Most expensive: the Christmas and New Year holidays, February holidays, and July and August.
  • Best weather: November to February, the cool and dry season, which is also high season.

Tips to pay less

  • Book three to six months ahead, and earlier for Christmas or the February holidays.
  • Compare open-jaw trips: arrive in Bangkok and fly home from Phuket, Krabi or Chiang Mai.
  • Be flexible by a few days.
  • Consider a stopover in Dubai, Doha or Istanbul if a one-stop ticket is much cheaper.

Nonstop or one stop?

A nonstop flight saves several hours and is easier with children. A one-stop flight via the Gulf or Istanbul is often cheaper, and some travellers like breaking the journey in the middle. If the price difference is small, nonstop usually wins. If it is large, a well-timed connection of two to three hours is a good compromise.

When are flights to Bangkok cheapest?

  • Usually cheapest: May, June and September, in the hot or rainy season, and outside school holidays.
  • Good value: late October and early November, as the rains ease.
  • Most expensive: mid-December to mid-January, the UK summer holidays and Easter.

The cool, dry season from November to February has the most comfortable weather, which is why fares are higher then.

Tips to pay less on long-haul

  • Book early: three to six months ahead is a good window, and earlier for Christmas.
  • Be flexible by a few days. Long-haul fares can vary a lot from one day to the next.
  • Compare open-jaw tickets, for example flying into Bangkok and home from Phuket or Chiang Mai.
  • Check baggage and meals. Most long-haul tickets include them, which makes comparing easier.
  • Use the price calendar to spot the cheapest week.

Istanbul Travel Guide: How to Get There Cheaply and Make the Most of Your Trip

Hagia Sophia in Istanbul

Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps keep this site free.

Istanbul sits on two continents, with Byzantine churches, Ottoman palaces, busy bazaars and ferries crossing the Bosphorus every few minutes. This guide covers the practical side: getting there for less, getting around, and spending your money well.

Getting to Istanbul

Istanbul has two airports. Istanbul Airport (IST) is on the European side and is the hub for Turkish Airlines. Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) is on the Asian side and is popular with low-cost airlines. Our route guides compare them in detail:

From the airport to the city

  • From IST: the M11 metro and Havaist airport buses run to the city.
  • From SAW: the M4 metro runs to Kadikoy, and Havabus coaches go to Taksim and Kadikoy.
  • Taxis and transfers: available at both airports. A pre-booked transfer fixes the price in advance.

Where to stay

AreaBest for
SultanahmetWalking to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace
Beyoglu, Galata and KarakoyCafes, nightlife, design hotels, views over the Golden Horn
TaksimCentral transport hub, many hotels at every price
Kadikoy (Asian side)Local atmosphere, food markets, lower prices
BesiktasBosphorus waterfront, lively student area

Getting around

Buy an Istanbulkart, the rechargeable transport card. It works on the metro, trams, buses, the funiculars and the public ferries, and it is much cheaper than paying for single tickets. Ferries are the most scenic way to cross between Europe and Asia.

Top sights

  • Hagia Sophia: the great Byzantine church, now a mosque. Dress modestly and check visiting hours, as foreign visitors pay an entrance fee.
  • Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque): famous for its blue tiles. Closed to visitors during prayer times.
  • Topkapi Palace: the home of the Ottoman sultans, with views over the Bosphorus.
  • Basilica Cistern: an atmospheric underground Byzantine water reservoir.
  • Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar: two of the oldest covered markets in the world.
  • Galata Tower: panoramic views over the old city and the Golden Horn.
  • A Bosphorus cruise: public ferries are cheap, or book a guided cruise.

Money-saving tips

  • Use the public ferries for a cheap Bosphorus trip.
  • Eat where locals eat: simit (sesame bread rings), fish sandwiches by the Galata Bridge and lokantas (canteen-style restaurants) are tasty and cheap.
  • Consider a museum pass if you plan to visit several paid museums. Compare the price with the tickets you actually need.
  • Pay in Turkish lira when a card machine asks, to avoid poor exchange rates.

Easy day trips

  • Princes’ Islands: car-free islands reached by ferry, about 1 h 30 min away.
  • Asian side: Kadikoy market, Moda seafront and Uskudar.
  • Bosphorus villages: Ortakoy, Bebek and Anadolu Kavagi with its castle views.

Before you go

  • Mobile data: a Turkey eSIM gets you online as soon as you land.
  • Insurance: get travel insurance that covers medical costs.
  • Visas: UK and most EU citizens can usually visit without a visa for up to 90 days. Check the official rules for your nationality.

Start with the flight, the biggest cost of the trip.

Compare flights to Istanbul

Frequently asked questions

How many days do you need in Istanbul?

Three to four days covers the main sights and a Bosphorus trip. Five days lets you add the Asian side and the Princes’ Islands.

When is the best time to visit Istanbul?

April to early June and September to October offer pleasant weather and smaller crowds than midsummer.

Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW)?

Istanbul Airport (IST)

The main hub, on the European side, used by Turkish Airlines and British Airways. It is around 40 km from the historic centre (Sultanahmet), so allow about an hour or more by road depending on traffic.

Sabiha Gokcen (SAW)

On the Asian side and the base of low-cost airlines such as Pegasus and AJet. Fares are often lower, and it is well placed if you are staying in Kadikoy or the Asian side. Getting to Sultanahmet takes longer, usually over an hour.

Rule of thumb: if the fare difference is small, choose the airport closest to where you are staying.

When are flights to Istanbul cheapest?

  • Usually cheapest: January to early March, and November (outside school holidays).
  • Best weather and decent prices: April, May, late September and October.
  • Most expensive: July and August, Easter, Christmas and New Year, and UK half-terms.

Tips to pay less

  • Compare both Istanbul airports by changing the destination code between IST and SAW.
  • Check what is included. Full-service tickets often include a checked bag and a meal, which can make them cheaper overall than a low-cost fare with extras.
  • Fly midweek if your dates are flexible.

Where can you fly to Fes from?

Fes has direct flights from a good number of European airports, many of them with low-cost airlines. France, Spain, Belgium and Italy usually have the most choice. If there is no direct flight from your city, compare a one-stop ticket via Casablanca with Royal Air Maroc, or fly to Tangier, Rabat or Casablanca and take the train.

Fly to another city and take the train

Morocco’s trains are a good option. Fes has direct trains to Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Tangier and Marrakech. Flying into a city with more flights and continuing by train can sometimes be cheaper overall.

Cheapest time to fly to Fes

  • Usually cheaper: January, February and November outside holidays.
  • Best weather and good value: April, May and October.
  • Busy and expensive: July and August, Christmas and the periods around Eid.

Fes is very hot in summer and can be cold on winter nights, so spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons.

From Fes airport to the medina

The drive takes around 20 to 30 minutes. Grand taxis wait outside arrivals (agree the fare first), there is a city bus, and many riads offer a pick-up. As in Marrakech, cars cannot enter the old medina, so drivers stop at the nearest gate.

Which airlines fly to Fes?

Ryanair, Transavia, Air Arabia and Royal Air Maroc are among the airlines that serve Fes. Check the search results for current routes.

How many days do I need in Fes?

Two full days is enough for the medina and its main sights. Add a day for Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis.

Should I hire a guide in the Fes medina?

Many visitors do for the first day. The medina is a maze with thousands of lanes, and an official guide helps you see the highlights without getting lost.

Some routes run only in winter or summer. Check the current schedule in the search results.

Which London airport is best for Agadir?

It depends on the day. Gatwick usually has the most choice, with both low-cost and holiday airlines, while Stansted and Luton can be cheaper on some dates. Searching with the LON code compares them all at once, so you only need to factor in the cost of getting to the airport.

When is Agadir cheapest?

  • Best value: January after New Year, late November and early December, and May.
  • Peak prices: Christmas, New Year, February and October half-terms, Easter and the summer holidays.

Agadir is warmer than most of Europe in winter, with daytime highs often around 20 degrees, which is why fares from the UK rise in school holidays. Travelling just before or after a half-term week can save a lot.

Tips to pay less

  • Compare flight only and package. In peak weeks a package with hotel and transfer can be cheaper. Outside holidays, flight only plus your own hotel usually wins.
  • Check every day of the week. Some airlines fly only a few days a week, so prices vary a lot between days.
  • Pack light if you are flying with a low-cost airline.
  • Book early for half-term, ideally three to six months ahead.
