Here is what you need to know about the airlines that fly this route, how to get the best ticket prices, and what to expect when you land in Turkey's largest city.

Popular Istanbul Flight Routes

Airport Information

Your trip begins at Tabriz International Airport (TBZ). It sits very close to the city center, and a taxi ride there usually takes only 15 to 20 minutes. Because it is a local airport, checking your bags and going through passport control usually goes very fast. You do not need to deal with the huge crowds found in larger airports. Just make sure to arrive about two hours early for your international flight.

Your flight will land at one of two airports in Turkey. Istanbul Airport (IST) sits on the European side near the Black Sea. It is a very new and very large airport. You will walk a lot here, but it has a fast metro train that takes you straight into the city. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) is on the Asian side, about 30 kilometers from the city center. This airport often handles the cheaper flights, especially from Pegasus Airlines. You can book an airport transfer on our website before you leave. This way, a driver will wait for you when you land and take you straight to your room.

Flight Prices

Istanbul flight prices change depending on the season and the airline you choose. Our data shows that June and February are usually the cheapest months to fly this route. June offers nice weather before the deep summer heat begins. February is cold, with temperatures dropping to around 4°C, but ticket prices drop a lot during this time. Winter flights almost always cost less than summer flights.

To get the best deal, try to buy your ticket about 40 days before you want to leave. Do not wait until the last minute. If you buy your ticket just two or three days before the plane takes off, you will pay much more. Also, buying a round-trip ticket usually costs less than buying two one-way tickets. Choosing to fly into Sabiha Gökçen Airport instead of the main airport can also keep your costs low.

Charter and Last-Minute Flights

Sometimes you need to travel right away for work or a family emergency. If you have to leave fast, you can search our platform for last-minute tickets. Travel agencies in Iran sometimes buy large blocks of seats on airlines like ATA or Pegasus. If they have empty seats a few days before the plane takes off, they lower the prices a lot to sell them quickly. Keep an eye out for these charter tickets in your search results.

If you want a bigger seat and better food, you can also look for Business Class tickets on Turkish Airlines for this route. Business Class tickets cost more, but they give you access to the airport lounge in Tabriz, extra baggage weight, and a much more comfortable seat for the two-and-a-half-hour flight.

Travel Guide to Istanbul

Istanbul sits right on the water, splitting Europe and Asia. The weather changes a lot during the year. August is the warmest month, averaging 27°C with very little rain. Winters are cold and wet, with January being the coldest month and December bringing the most rain. If you pack right, it is a great place to visit any time of the year.

Most people start their visit in the Sultanahmet area on the European side. Here, you can walk through the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. These huge, old buildings stand right across a park from each other. Next to them is the Topkapi Palace, where the Ottoman sultans lived and ruled for hundreds of years. You can spend a whole day just walking around this one neighborhood.

Taking a ferry ride on the Bosphorus Strait is another great way to spend your time. You can ride a boat from the European side to the Asian side, passing old wooden houses and the large Dolmabahçe Palace right on the water. For shopping, you can walk through the Grand Bazaar. It is a massive indoor market filled with thousands of small shops selling clothes, spices, tea, and carpets. The food in the city is also cheap and easy to find, from fresh fish sandwiches near the water in Karaköy to thick Turkish coffee in the local cafes.
