Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from AER to IST last minute?
When it's time to book your flights, being prepared pays dividends. While you could pick up a deal on a Sochi Intl. Airport (AER) to IST flight at the last minute, prices usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to book a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days in advance. For international flights it's between three and four months.
What airports do you fly into for Istanbul from Sochi?
From Sochi, you can fly into Istanbul through Istanbul (IST), Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW) and Ataturk Intl. Airport (IST). Determine which terminal is the right option for you before making your decision. If you choose Istanbul (IST), it's around 32 kilometers northwest of the city center. Use the money you save when booking your ticket with Expedia to tour the city's top attractions, such as Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

We know plans can get upended, so Expedia is here to help make things easier.
