Istanbul Flights
Istanbul flights arrive in a city that blends European and Middle Eastern, divided by the river Bosphorus, which links the city to Europe. Developed out of the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium, into the city Constantinople, Istanbul now offers a wealth of stunning historical interest including such sights as the Topkapi Palace, the Hagia Sophia basilica (now a museum) and the Galata tower. For shopoholics, the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, with more than four thousand shops under cover, is said to be the oldest shopping centre in the world, and is very easy to get lost in, but there will always be a tea garden somewhere nearby to refresh you. There are two airports here, Ataturk and Sabiha Gokcen.
Flights to Istanbul take around four hours from the UK, and flight prices will be at their highest during the busy summer season. It is best to book early when buying flights at this time. Cheap flights to Istanbul are more likely in the winter and a cheap flight is worthwhile if you just want to take in the memorable sights of this unique city. The easiest way to find your flight, no matter what the season, is to use our price comparison tool to find the best prices.
