FAQs for booking Toronto to Istanbul flights

  • Should I take public transportation from the airport into Istanbul?

    Taking public transportation from the airport into Istanbul is a better option for passengers who are travelling light. Although it’s the cheaper option, each one-way ticket costing ₺ 2,5 (around C$ 0.59) per person, it takes more planning than getting on a taxi or arranging a shuttle with your hotel, and it's not the most comfortable or direct trip.

  • How do I catch the metro from the airport to Istanbul’s city centre?

    Follow the signs that say "light rail" from outside the baggage claim area to line M1A (red line). The metro station is about a 10min walk away from the airport. The final stop for this line in the city centre is Yenikapı. One token costs ₺ 4 (about C$ 0.95) but you need to buy a new token every time you change lines or transfer to another form of public transportation. Please note that operating hours are from 6:00 am to 11:59 pm, so if your flight from Toronto to Istanbul arrives outside of these times, you’ll need to plan for another type of transportation.

  • Can I get a private shuttle from the airport to the city centre?

    If you haven’t arranged for your hotel to pick you up at the airport, you can book a private shuttle with a company like KiwiTaxi for a fixed fee before you arrive in Istanbul. Prices vary depending on what district you’re travelling to, but the fixed fares start at ₺ 120 (about C$ 29) for a trip from the airport to the Sultanahmet district. You must book online, and the driver will meet you outside the arrivals area.

  • Should I exchange currency at one of the offices at the airport?

    Currency exchange fees at Atatürk International Airport are higher than anywhere else in the city. If you don’t want to use the ATMs located at the arrivals area, and can’t wait until you get into Istanbul, the supermarket at the tunnel connecting to the metro station has better exchange rates.

  • What is the cheapest flight from Toronto to Istanbul Airport?

    In the last 5 days, the lowest price for a flight from Toronto to Istanbul Airport was C$ 509 for a one-way ticket and C$ 1,067 for a round-trip.

  • Which airports will I be using when flying from Toronto to Istanbul?

    Toronto is served by 2 major airports and there is only 1 main airport in Istanbul. You will leave Toronto from one of these airports: Toronto Island or Toronto Pearson Intl. You will be arriving at Istanbul.

  • Which airlines offer Wi-Fi service onboard planes from Toronto to Istanbul?

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Toronto to Istanbul?

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Toronto to Istanbul Airport

  • Looking for a cheap flight? 25% of our users found flights on this route for C$ 1,014 or less one-way and C$ 1,452 or less round-trip.
  • Choosing the best method to travel from the airport to the city centre is dependent on the time that your flight from Toronto to Istanbul arrives at Atatürk International Airport (IST). An express bus service and a light rail service the airport, but neither one travels after 11:59 pm.
  • As soon as you’ve cleared immigration and customs, and picked up your luggage, withdraw cash in the local currency from one of the ATMs in the arrivals area. Most local businesses only take cash, preferably small bills, so having local currency is important.
  • Taking a taxi is a convenient method of travel and costs about ₺ 54 (C$ 12.84). You must take one of the official cabs found outside the airport, not one from one of the people offering rides from inside the airport. The trip to the city centre takes about 30min.
  • If you’d like to rest or freshen up after your long flight from Toronto to Istanbul before exploring the Turkish city, the TAB Airport Hotel is located inside the airport right before immigration.
  • If your flight from Toronto to Istanbul is the first leg of a more extended trip, book it with Turkish Airlines. Passengers flying with this airline who are in Istanbul for a minimum six-hour layover get a free tour of the city, with transportation to and from the airport.
