Cheap flights and airline tickets to Istanbul

Travelers searching for cheap flights to Istanbul from Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York or Chicago should compare several departure dates, airlines and layover times. The lowest one-way fare from LAX does not establish the cost from another U.S. city.

For United States to Istanbul flight deals, request exact dates, passenger ages and whether the trip is one-way or round-trip. Flight schedules and cabin availability can change.

Making a flight deal work for your itinerary

Istanbul spans Europe and Asia; it is included here as a major onward gateway. Do not plan an IST-to-SAW transfer as a normal same-airport connection. Look at total airport-to-hotel time as well as airfare, especially when flights use different arrival gateways.
