Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from GIG to IST last minute?
Booking your journey from Galeão Intl. Airport to IST at the last minute could save you a tidy sum if you get lucky and find a good deal. However, fares usually don't come down in price as the departure date nears. If you choose to wait, flights could also be sold out or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you'd rather not hedge your bets, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
What airports do you fly into for Istanbul from Rio de Janeiro?
With Istanbul (IST), Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW) and Ataturk Intl. Airport (IST) to choose from, making your way from Rio de Janeiro to Istanbul is easy. The city's key hub, Istanbul (IST), is approximately 32 kilometers northwest of the downtown area. Apart from ticket costs, consider factors like the ease of getting from the airport and the distance to your hotel before making your decision. Get your Istanbul trip off to a fun start by checking out Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
Can I change the date of my flight from Galeao - Antonio Carlos Jobim Intl. Airport (GIG) to IST?
Easily make changes to your Galeão Intl. Airport to IST ticket via the Expedia Trips portal. Before making any amendments, check out the rules in your itinerary to see what the carrier will let you do and if fees apply for changes. Some airlines charge a change fee per person, plus any difference in fare prices. But if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and book new flights. You can also head to our Customer Service portal for more handy information and to connect with our Virtual Agent.
