Morning or evening flight on SSH–IST?

Operators schedule morning departures around 05:40 from SSH. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the IST delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from SSH to IST?

Great-circle distance is 1,565 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 140–164 min gate-to-gate on this route.
