Cheap Flights from Hanoi to Istanbul Starting at $255

Hanoi is served primarily by Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), the city’s main international and domestic gateway that typically handles full-service carriers and regional low-cost airlines. Located about 45–50 km north of the downtown Hoan Kiem area, transfer times can range from roughly 30–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; airport express buses and shuttle services usually take 40–75 minutes and cost modest fares, while ride-hailing apps may be slightly cheaper or faster during off-peak hours. Noi Bai is generally seen as a mid-to-large hub with a mix of modern amenities and occasional crowding at peak times; its strengths are good route connectivity and frequent services, while cons can include longer transfer times in heavy traffic and variability in terminal convenience.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city's main international hub, serving many full-service carriers and most long-haul flights; it typically functions as the premium gateway for connecting traffic across Europe, Asia and beyond. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, transfer to Sultanahmet or Taksim can take roughly 40–70 minutes by taxi or car depending on traffic, while the Havaist and IETT shuttle buses usually take 60–90 minutes with fares often in the modest range for shuttle services. The newly extended metro line can offer faster, economical access for much of the city. Pros: modern terminals, broad airline choices, extensive amenities; cons: distance from central neighborhoods and variable travel times during peak traffic. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) mainly serves low-cost and regional carriers and is commonly perceived as Istanbul’s budget-oriented airport for domestic and short-to-medium-haul international routes. It sits on the city’s Asian side, approximately 30–45 km from central European-side sights and around 20–35 km from Asian-side districts, with travel times of 40–90 minutes by taxi depending on origin and traffic. Havatas/Havaist shuttles and municipal buses provide affordable transfers, and the newer metro and Marmaray connections can make journeys quicker and cheaper when aligned with schedules. Pros: often lower fares and less crowded at off-peak times; cons: fewer long-haul flight options and longer cross-city transfers if you need to reach European-side destinations.
