Istanbul is the enthralling city where Europe meets Asia across the Bosphorus — a place of imperial mosques, grand bazaars, Byzantine wonders and superb food. It is one of the most rewarding city breaks for UK travellers and a major global stopover hub linking Europe with Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Most flights now arrive into the vast, modern Istanbul Airport (IST), one of the largest airports in the world. Comparing fares in one place makes finding the right flight to Istanbul quick and simple.
Istanbul is a year-round destination. Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer the most pleasant weather and are ideal for sightseeing, so fares run higher. Summers are hot and busy, while winters are cool and atmospheric with occasional snow — often the quietest and best-value time to visit. Check the price charts on this page for the cheapest dates.
Turkish Airlines, British Airways and Pegasus Airlines fly direct from London to Istanbul in around 4 hours, with Turkish Airlines also flying direct from Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and other UK airports. As Turkish Airlines' home hub, Istanbul offers excellent onward connections to a huge global network, making it a natural stopover point. Compare carriers for your exact dates to secure the lowest fare.
Istanbul dazzles with layer upon layer of history and culture:
Istanbul Airport sits about 40 km northwest of the city centre, with vast duty-free shopping, currency exchange, ATMs, lounges and dining. The M11 metro line connects to the city network, while the HAVAIST airport buses, taxis and ride-hailing apps are also available. Its scale and connections make it a smooth and modern stopover hub.
Your allowance to Istanbul depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
