FAQs for booking Santorini (Thira) to Istanbul flights

  • Can I share my purchased baggage allowance with someone else?

    Partners or family members on the same booking with Ryanair can share excess baggage. Be sure to check in together at Santorini Airport (JTR). Learn the rules and buy a checked baggage allowance when booking your flight because the rates are higher at the check-in desk. Any luggage exceeding 31.8 x 46.8 x 46.8 inches in the hold must be paid for. You can check a maximum of three 44 lbs. bags for free.

  • How many passengers qualify for special group rates?

    SKY Express group rates are usually cheaper than buying individual regular tickets. Save money for a corporate group trip, family reunion, or school trip to Istanbul if you are in a group of ten or more. The discount (5-20%) is calculated based on your group size and departure date.

  • Should I pay for extra legroom or upgrade to premium Economy?

    Aegean Airlines offers Extra Legroom seats at the exit rows for a reasonable additional cost. You'll get at least 36" legroom (4" – 6" longer than standard economy legroom), plus a larger recline and adjustable footrests. It's a more affordable comfort than an upgrade to Premium Economy.

  • When landing at Istanbul Airport (IST), will I be asked for a visa?

    With an official Greek passport, you don't need a visa for a 90-day trip to Istanbul. If you are going to Turkey for studies and work, you must obtain a visa from a Turkish Embassy or Consulate. If you have a Schengen visa, you need supporting documents and an active email address to get an e-visa notification. Your credit/debit card must be valid to pay the digital visa fee.

  • Which aircraft models fly most regularly from Thera to Istanbul?

    We unfortunately don’t have that data for this specific route.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Thera to Istanbul?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Thera to Istanbul.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Thera to Istanbul?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight to Istanbul from Thera is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Thera to Istanbul?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly to Istanbul with an airline and back to Thera with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Thera to Istanbul?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Istanbul from Thera up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight from Santorini (Thira) to Istanbul

  • Some flights with layovers between Santorini (Thira) International Airport (JTR) and Istanbul Airport (IST) take a very short time to change planes. On Aegean Airlines, paying beforehand for a hot seat at the front section of the cabin could save you about 10 minutes when deplaning at the stopover – Athens Airport (ATH).
  • If a young member of your family must travel alone from Santorini to Istanbul, include information on who will drop them off and pick them up (written consent). Turkish Airlines offers Unaccompanied Minor Services on this journey at a fee. Your child (7-12 years) will be safely supported from departure to arrival. On SKY Express, you must complete and sign the Parent or Guardian Declaration form for unaccompanied minors aged 5 to 12.
  • If your trip is managed by multiple airlines, each flight might use individual security procedures. For quicker access to security checkpoints and smooth transit between connecting flights at Athens Airport (ATH), use SKY Fast Lane by SKY Express Airlines. You will have access to a unique, uncongested line. SKY Fast Lane is free for SKY Enjoy members, but you can always buy access, no matter your flight class.
  • Some airlines, like Wizz Air, only permit service dogs with valid travel documents. Aegean Airlines allows only one pet per passenger in the cabin, weighing 17 lbs. (pet and container). If you have more pets, they must be of similar species and in the same kennel (17 lbs.). However, if you have an infant on board, you cannot travel with your pet in the cabin.
  • For flexible travel and extra comfort, buy the Comfort Flex Package by Pegasus Airlines. It is part of the Economy Cabin and allows you to change or cancel trips up to 2 hours before departure without a fine. Canceled tickets get a full refund minus a service fee. You can select a seat, including extra legroom, for free.
