Cheap Flights from Baltimore to Istanbul — $236

Baltimore is served primarily by Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International (BWI), a major mid‑Atlantic airport that functions as both a busy domestic hub and a base for several low‑cost carriers. You’ll typically find a mix of legacy and budget airlines operating frequent flights to US and some international destinations, with fares often perceived as competitive compared with nearby Washington-area airports. BWI sits about 10–15 miles south of downtown Baltimore; travel times are commonly 25–35 minutes by car depending on traffic, or 30–40 minutes by MARC commuter rail/Amtrak plus a short transfer — shuttle and taxi fares usually range from modest to moderate. Pros: good low‑cost options, ample parking and straightforward terminal layout; cons: can be busy during peak times and requires a bit of transit time to reach central Baltimore.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city's main international hub and a modern, full-service facility handling most long-haul and transfer traffic; it typically hosts national carrier Turkish Airlines alongside many global network airlines and can be pricier on average than secondary fields. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, travel options include the M11 metro and Havaist shuttle buses (roughly 35–60 minutes, fares generally in the mid-range), plus taxis and private transfers which take similar time but cost more. Pros: extensive connections, modern amenities and lounges; cons: longer transfer times to central districts and occasional traffic variability for road options. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is often positioned as Istanbul’s budget and low-cost gateway on the Asian side, frequently used by regional carriers and low-cost airlines and sometimes offering cheaper fares for point-to-point travelers. It sits about 35–45 km southeast of central Sultanahmet or Taksim, reachable via Havatas/Havaist shuttles and public buses or taxis (journeys commonly take 45–75 minutes, fares typically lower than private transfers). Pros: convenient for flights to/from Asia-side neighborhoods and budget options; cons: fewer long-haul connections and potentially longer road travel from some European-side locations.
