If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather play it safe, book well in advance of your departure date. It's worth noting that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.

From Helsinki, you can travel to Istanbul via Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW), Istanbul (IST) and Ataturk Intl. Airport (IST). It's a good idea to check which terminal is more convenient for you before you make a decision. If you decide to land at Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW), it's about 31 kilometers east of downtown. Use the dollars you save when booking your airfare with Expedia to explore the city's well-known sights, such as Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

The most popular departure times for trips from Vantaa Airport (HEL) to Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW) fall between 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM on Pegasus. It's a good idea to head out in the morning. The earlier you go, the better your odds of a delay-free flight as air traffic hasn't yet built up.
