Turkish Airlines

Turkish Airlines connects passengers through Istanbul Airport to a very wide range of countries, making it relevant for one-stop trips between Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. It is a Star Alliance member, and its Miles&Smiles programme lets travellers earn and redeem across alliance partners. Business class on long-haul aircraft varies by aircraft type, while economy fares come in packages that differ in baggage, seat selection and change rules. For passengers with long layovers, Turkish Airlines has offered Touristanbul, a city tour for eligible transfer passengers, subject to its conditions. It suits travellers looking for broad connectivity, particularly to secondary destinations that other carriers may not serve. Check connection times at Istanbul, visa or transit rules for your nationality, and the fare package rules before booking.
