Cheap Flights from Istanbul to Vilnius — $55

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and many full-service carriers; it’s usually perceived as mid-to-premium in price compared with regional alternatives. Located roughly 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, transfer options include the Havaist airport buses (about 60–90 minutes, fares typically moderate), taxi or rideshare (45–75 minutes depending on traffic, fares higher), and a developing rail connection. Pros: modern terminals, wide route network and frequent international connections; cons: longer transfers and occasional heavy traffic to the city. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), on the Asian side, is commonly used by low-cost and regional airlines and can be more budget-friendly for short flights. It sits around 30–45 km southeast of central Istanbul; options include Havabus or municipal buses (40–70 minutes, inexpensive), taxis (30–60 minutes, moderate to high fares) and limited rail links. Pros: often quicker for Asian-side arrivals and cheaper carriers; cons: fewer long-haul options and longer cross-city transfers when connecting to European-side destinations.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Istanbul to Vilnius is $68 (February 2026), while the maximum is $155 (July 2026). On average, a ticket costs $107–$117.

Vilnius Airport (VNO) is Lithuania’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, making it a common choice for both long-haul and European connections. The airport sits about 6–7 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) from the city centre; buses and minibuses run frequently with fares typically in the low single euros, while taxis and rideshares are faster but cost more. Travelers usually find the compact terminal easy to navigate, with basic shopping and dining options; peak periods can be busy and some budget travelers may prefer booking ahead for lower fares. Overall it’s convenient for quick access to Vilnius, though facilities are more modest than larger international hubs.
