Good to know
- Check all three airlines — Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and SunExpress — because the cheapest fare on any given date changes.
- For such a short 1h 20m domestic hop, travel with hand luggage only; the low-cost carriers charge extra for checked bags, which helps keep the total down.
- Istanbul Airport (IST) sits well outside the city centre, so allow extra time and budget for the transfer after you land.
