Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from IST to Helsinki Airport last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a great way to travel around, but it's not always the ideal way to track down a bargain plane ticket. It's better to book your IST to HEL journey well ahead of time instead of leaving it till the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you reach your destination!

Vantaa Airport (HEL), Helsinki-Malmi Airport (HEM) and Lahti (QLF-Lahti Vesivehmaa) are your options when jetting from Istanbul to Helsinki.
