Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SAW to Ankara Esenboğan Airport last minute?
Being spontaneous is a fabulous way to travel, but it's not always the ideal way to get your hands on a cheap flight. Think about booking your Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Intl.

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 Esenboga Airport (ESB)!
