Travel to Istanbul

The major Turkish city, Istanbul, is unique not only because of its literally age-old history, but also because of where it is situated. Istanbul location spreads evenly over two continents – Asia and Europe, with the Bosphorus Strait in between. The European side of Istanbul is much more popular as a tourist haunt than the Asian side. So, let’s find out how to reach Istanbul.

Istanbul has two airports. The main one is called Istanbul Ataturk Airport, which is located 24 km west of the city centre towards the Europe side. Ataturk has always been one of the busiest airports of Europe, being located at an important geographical junction. To relieve Ataturk from being overloaded with international traffic, Sabiha Gokcen Airport was opened in 2001 towards the southeast, in the Asian side. Flights to Istanbul from India mostly go to Ataturk airport, since the other one is less used for pleasure trips and more for business or diplomatic trips. From Ataturk airport, one can take Havatas – the airport shuttle service that leave every half an hour, or take the subway to Taksim Station where most of the hotels are changing cars at Otogar Station. The easiest but not so cheap option would be taking a cab. Depending on the time of the day and traffic, it should take you 30 minutes and cost you 50 TRY.

In case, you are flying from Asia, and want to know how to reach Istanbul from India, then, there is only one direct flight operating between India and Turkey, i.e. Turkish airlines that provides flights from Mumbai and Delhi. However, you can also board plane from other international airports like Etihad Airways, Oman Air and more, which have connecting flights to Istanbul.

By Air

The only company to have direct tickets from India to Istanbul is Turkish Airlines. There are two flights per day on every day of the week operated by Turkish airlines, one from Delhi and another from Mumbai. India to Istanbul flight duration for both the routes is 7 hours 5 minutes, which is the fastest one can travel between India and Turkey. If you do not live in Delhi or Mumbai, then there are connecting flights run by carriers like Emirates, Qatar Airways, Gulf Air and Etihad with reasonable flight duration. To get cheap flights to Istanbul from India, travel during the off seasons when there is lesser crowd. In case you are on a larger trip and are in any part of Western Europe, then there are more than one daily nonstop flight to Istanbul from cities like Paris, Brussels, Madrid, Munich, Lisbon and more.

I recently returned from an amazing trip to Turkey, and I must say it was one of the best travel experiences I've had! A big thank you to Fly High Global for organizing such a well-planned and seamless trip. Special thanks to Mohit and Sumit for their excellent coordination and support throughout.

From thoughtfully curated itineraries to smooth transfers, comfortable stays, and prompt assistance, everything was handled with great professionalism. The entire trip was hassle-free and filled with unforgettable memories. I truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail that went into making this journey so special. Highly recommend Fly High Global for anyone looking to travel without worries. Looking forward to planning my next adventure with them soon!

Ketan's 11 days trip to Istanbul

Our Turkey trip for 10N, 11D with a family of 5 was very memorable thanks to TFT. TFT team of Nishant & Anu were involved right from beginning of tour planning, customisation of itinerary, providing options during pre booking period. During travel, WhatsApp group was created for coordinating with l

ocal vendors & TFT team was very actively involved during the trip to Answer any queries. All local sightseeing including local pick-up, guide etc were very good and we did not face any issues during travel. Only time I faced challenge was on clarity of invoicing between TFT & TT and was sorted out promptly. Will recommend for anyone planning travel to Turkey. We visited Kusadasi, Bodrum, Antalya, Capadoccia, Istanbul and the entire trip was wonderfully planned by TFT.

Its a mixed feeling. The bookings were smooth but few changes done last minute by Agent. Eg: Domestic flight and day trips. Expected more coordination with agent during the trip

Huzaif's 7 days trip to Istanbul

Overall the trip was fantastic. The itinerary was planned good but the accommodations for first city (Antalya-turkey)was very very very pathetic rest where better….However, one area that would be improve is the clarity of additional cost for adventure sports….

Rituraj's 9 days trip to Istanbul

I think last hotel could be better as that is the only one not suggested by me. It is a good hotel but the expectation setting from the pictures provided was different.

Sarhanya Madhan

Chennai

Sarhanya's 8 days trip to Istanbul

Imagine taking a tour with a someone who figures out your preferences before you say anything, makes arrangements that are exactly to your taste, That’s what I got from my Fly High Global Turkey Organizer! I contacted FHG (in a blind internet search) with only a general statement of the amount of ti

me I had available and the towns I was most interested in visiting. Mr. Kamil responded almost immediately, asking a few questions and making several good suggestions. A few days later I had a detailed itinerary and very reasonable quote. I was hesitated, at the initial as they dint have a website or Instagram page either much review about there agency but decided to proceed only coz that i had trust on the person KAMIL who planned my itinerary of my choice. I must say this is one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made! I had an amazing week long tour for 9 days and covered cites Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Antalya. Pickups were on time, very nice Benz vans, small groups, tour guides who spoke English well and knew the history of the place, and overall, well organized. What’s most surprising is that despite being extraordinary, their prices are truly ordinary. Everything was very much reasonably priced with absolutely no hidden fees or charges. It is hard to believe, but they really do offer exceptional quality as well as pricing! No second thoughts needed! Just trust them! You will not regret!
