Cheap flights from Zakinthos Island to Istanbul

The weeks on either side of January can be easier for comparing fares than the holiday rush, and January is the cheapest month shown for this route; June, July and August sit in the destination's summer, while November and December bring winter and holiday travel, so book early around Christmas and school holidays. Weekend flights can clash with short breaks, so midweek dates are worth checking before you settle on a fare.

What a ticket includes varies by fare, so check baggage, seat selection and change rules before paying; Olympic Air and Sky Express are the carriers listed on this route, and with no non-stop service shown you should expect at least one connection, which may be on separate tickets. If the connection is not protected, allow extra time and check whether bags are through-checked.

Arriving late in the day changes the last leg of the journey, because airport transport is less frequent and a hotel check-in after midnight needs confirming in advance; Istanbul has two airports, Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gokcen, and the one you land at shapes your transfer, so match it to your accommodation or onward flight before booking. Neither airport is in the city centre, so allow transfer time and use official airport transport or a licensed taxi after arrival formalities.
