Cheap Flights from Istanbul to Hanoi Starting at $247

Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub and typically handles most long‑haul and full‑service carriers, alongside many global alliances. Located on the city’s European side about 35–45 km from Taksim/Sultanahmet, transfer times can be 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; the Havaist and IETT airport buses usually take around 45–75 minutes and cost within a modest range, while the M11 metro line and planned connections can shorten journeys. Tickets and transfers can be pricier than to smaller airports but often quicker for international connections. Pros: modern facilities, extensive lounges, many flight options; cons: distance to central neighborhoods and potential heavy traffic at peak times. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) on the Asian side is commonly positioned as a secondary international hub with a strong low‑cost and regional carrier presence, making it a typical choice for budget travelers and domestic flights. It sits roughly 40–50 km from central European‑side areas but about 25–35 km to Kadıköy or Üsküdar; airport shuttles and buses often take 40–60 minutes, taxis about 35–55 minutes depending on traffic, and a relatively recent metro extension and commuter services can reduce some transfer times. Fares to the city center tend to be competitive, especially with off‑peak bus options. Pros: often cheaper fares and easier boarding for domestic services; cons: longer cross‑city transfers if your destination is on the opposite side.

Hanoi is served mainly by Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), the city’s principal international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and growing low-cost operators. Located about 25–30 km north of the Old Quarter, transfer times to downtown typically range from 30–60 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing and around 45–75 minutes by airport shuttle bus; fares can be modest for buses and vary for taxis depending on time and traffic. Domestic flights may be routed through HAN rather than a separate budget airport, so prices can be competitive but fluctuate with season and carrier. Pros: wide range of services and frequent connections. Cons: traffic can extend travel times and peak-hour queues are possible.
