Top tips for finding a cheap flight from Sydney to Istanbul

  • There are two main airports that service Istanbul. If you are planning to visit the European side of the city, the northern side, we recommend travelling into Istanbul International Airport (IST). Alternatively, if you plan on booking a hotel on the Asian side of the city, the southern side, it is worthwhile looking for flights into Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) to be close to your hotel.
  • Istanbul International Airport (IST) is the primary airport for flights into and out of Istanbul and is, on average, cheaper than flying into Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW).
  • While a range of airlines provide transport from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) to airports in Istanbul, make sure to book with Emirates Airlines or Etihad Airways as these are the most popular airlines flying to the region. With both airlines having numerous flights travelling out each day, you can rest assured knowing that any delays or flight changes will be easily sorted out.
  • The average flight from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) to airports in Istanbul is 20–26h. To ensure less time is spent in the air, we recommend journeying with Emirates Airlines as their journeys are, on average, 2–3h shorter than their competitors.
  • For those travelling to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) by car, look for car park P7. A 5min walk from the International Terminal, this multi-storey car park is the designated car park for the international travellers. Alternatively, a valet service is available, for a fee, right outside the Departure level of Terminal 1.
  • If you don't want to leave your car parked at the airport, we recommend journeying from Sydney to the airport via the Sydney Airport Link. Running throughout the day between the city and the airport, the Airport Link is the most convenient way to travel to the airport and is usually cheaper than taking a taxi.
