When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in March around $145 and peak in May near $248, 71% dearer, across the 8 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 4 hours outbound, on a 10-night trip — ticketed under Tarom, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $145 for 1,119 km each way, that works out to about $65 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $41 per 1,000 km typical of short-haul fares here. The best time to be in Tel Aviv: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.
Cheapest day in the next 4 months: 26 Dec, $174

Good to know
IST → TLV, answered.
Is $145 a good price for Istanbul to Tel Aviv?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $205 round-trip. At $145 you're 29% below that, which we rate good for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Istanbul to Tel Aviv?
Across 8 months of cached-fare history, Mar comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Tel Aviv are Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book IST → Tel Aviv?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 8 months of cached fares, Mar comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Istanbul to Tel Aviv?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Tarom. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
