Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Frankfurt Intl. Airport (FRA) to IST last minute?
Booking your flight from Frankfurt Intl. Airport (FRA) to IST at the last minute could save you money if you get lucky and find a good deal. However, fares usually don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you hold out, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you'd rather not hedge your bets, book well in advance of when you want to leave. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Istanbul from Frankfurt?
From Frankfurt, you can fly into Istanbul via Istanbul (IST), Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW) and Ataturk Intl. Airport (IST). Determine which terminal works best for you before you make a decision. If you opt for Istanbul (IST), it's roughly 32 kilometers northwest of the city center. Use the money you save when booking your journey with Expedia to tour the city's top attractions, such as Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
Can I change the date of my flight from FRA to IST?
Easily make changes to your Frankfurt Intl. Airport (FRA) to IST journey through the Expedia Trips portal. But before amending dates or times, read through the rules and restrictions in your itinerary to learn what you can do and what fees apply for changes. Some airlines have a change fee per person, plus any difference in prices. But if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and organize new flights.
