How early should I arrive at the airport for a Turkish domestic flight?

Aim for 2 hours before departure if you're checking a bag, or 90 minutes with hand luggage only. Istanbul Airport (IST) is large and can require long walks between security and the gate — give yourself extra time there.

What is the difference between Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)?

Are domestic flights in Turkey cheap or expensive?

Based on Kiwi.com booking data (last 12 months as of May 2026), Pegasus and AJet typically offer the lowest fares on Turkish domestic routes when booked in advance. Turkish Airlines is the premium option. Booking 4–8 weeks ahead generally produces the best prices.

What is the baggage allowance for domestic flights in Turkey?

Allowances depend on airline and fare. Turkish Airlines' standard economy includes a checked bag; Pegasus and AJet's cheapest fares include a carry-on only, with checked bags as a paid add-on. Verify the fare-specific allowance at booking.

How long is a domestic flight in Turkey (Istanbul to Cappadocia or Antalya)?

Istanbul–Kayseri (gateway to Cappadocia) takes about 1h 15m; Istanbul–Antalya is roughly 1h 15m.

Is it better to book domestic Turkey flights in advance or last-minute?

In advance. Booking 4–8 weeks ahead usually beats last-minute on Pegasus, AJet and Turkish Airlines. Summer holiday periods (July–August) and Bayram holidays see the steepest last-minute prices.
