When to fly to Istanbul

Anzac Day (25 April) at Gallipoli is the peak for Australian travellers, and Istanbul flights and hotels fill in the week before, so book well ahead. April–June and September–October have the best weather; July–August is hot and busy, and our July school holidays push fares up. November–March is usually cheapest outside Christmas. SA school holidays run 12 Dec 2026 – 27 Jan 2027.

Baggage on this route

Allowances depend on the airline and the fare you choose. Low-cost carriers only include the bags you pay for, which matters if you travel with a lot of luggage.

Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)

Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.

Arriving at Istanbul Airport (IST)

  • Istanbul has two big airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side, used by Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines, and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. Check which one is on your ticket.
  • IST is about 40 km from the old city. The M11 metro links the airport to the city's metro network, Havaist coaches run to Taksim, Sultanahmet and other districts, and a taxi takes about 45–75 minutes depending on traffic.
  • Entry: Australians on ordinary passports don't need a visa for tourism, business or transit stays of up to 90 days in any 180 days. Smartraveller advises a high degree of caution in Türkiye overall: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/europe/turkiye
