Is it possible to buy a ticket for a domestic flight in Turkey (İstanbul-İzmir) at the airport the same day?

I mean, do you really have to book online, or could I try my luck at a desk there too?

Approximalte yhwat are the prices?

Ok thank you very much both!

Im not sure whether or when I will go, and Im not fond of flying so I always take the bus.. but since I would be going for just a few days, it would be a waste of time to sit in a bus for 10 hours..

Anyway I would like to keep options open so Ill look at it when Im at the airport. Thanks a lot!

Do I have to pay creditcard? Or is nakit accepted too?

Hmm.. ok.. because I dont have a creditcard

Either you have to book waaay early or at the very last minute if you want to get a cheap flight.

Last time I booked from Van to Istanbul and the price went up like 40-50 ytl in just five minutes! We had decided on buying the tickets at the "lower" price, then the woman at the agency answered her phone and when she was done and went to the booking page (which is just the regular internet site that anyone can access anyway) the price went flying ALso you have to pay the "service charge" whether you get any "service" or not :banghead:

Sometimes Sunexpress has special cheap rates to selected destinations for 29 YTL, maybe you will get lucky

Which companies offer Yurt içi flights in Turkey? I have looked for THY and Pegasus but I'd like to find some more. Does anybody know about Pegasus?

They dont have that many options, so Id like to check some more companies. Once again I am flying to Istanbul, and this time Id prefer to enter a plane instead of 10 hours in the bus again.. (and 2 years ago I was nervous to fly at least 2 weeks in advance )

Which airport is closer to Kadıköy. Sabiha or Atatürk?

Im trying to find maps but I cant find a complete one :-S.


A friend of mine lives in Kadıköy and Im considering to visit her for a late glass of wine and then an early breakfast before I head to my next flight. But then I need to know which aiport I better go to from her house.. should I go back to Atatürk Airport, or is it faster to go to Sabiha..

I'd say it's quicker to go to the city from Atatürk because you can go with the metro. It takes about an hour to go from Sabiha Gökçen to Kadıköy, and there's a good chance it takes longer to get back because there is a circus of busses and I found it particularily hard to figure out the system in Kadıköy.

But if you get a taxi from sabiha gokcen to kadikoy it's very quick, and (from the point of view of someone who has to pay £6 for a 10 minute taxi drive at home! ) it's cheap as well...

edit: when i say quick, i dont mean 5 minutes...but it's a hell of a lot quicker than the bus or something

Thank you all. I think my friend will drop me off, so figuring out the public transport is no problem I went to city centre with the metro once from Atatürk, but the problem is that the metro doesnt go till 6 oclock in the morning. I also went to sabiha gökçen once with public transport but it was a horror since I took the city-bus and had to get onto the metro 4. levent to get to taksim. Next time Ill wait for the special services

You should also consider Flying Carperts Inc, and Fast Camel Caravans Plc... as a serious options ..
