Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Riyadh Airport to IST last minute?
Booking your flight from RUH to IST at the last minute could save you money if you hit the jackpot and find an amazing deal. However, tickets generally don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you wait around, flights could also be booked up or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of your departure date. Remember that some of the most awesome deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Istanbul from Riyadh?
Istanbul (IST), Sabiha Gokcen Intl. Airport (SAW) and Ataturk Intl. Airport (IST) are your choices when traveling from Riyadh to Istanbul. Approximately 32 kilometers northwest of the heart of Istanbul, Istanbul (IST) is the city's major gateway. Consider factors like flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before deciding where you fly into. Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are two awesome attractions to explore when you arrive at your destination.
