FAQs - booking Kabul flights

  • Can I fly direct from London to Kabul?

Turkish Airlines offers flights from London to Kabul with a stopover in Istanbul Airport (IST) with a duration of around 10h 30min. Emirates offers flights that stop in Dubai International Airport (DXB) with a duration of approximately 13h. If you're looking to cut costs, you could also look at flights with two stops, which are typically cheaper; you could fly from London to Kabul with stops in Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) and Sharjah (SHJ).

  • How easy is it to exchange currency?

    There's a bank and a currency exchange shop at Kabul Airport, so you'll be able to change currency as soon as you land. There are also ATMs at the airport and across Kabul, but these can be difficult to use with foreign bank cards, so you should make sure you bring enough cash to cover your expenses while you're there. Most major currencies will be accepted at exchange shops in Kabul, but USD will always be accepted. Hotels or accommodation providers can also usually exchange money for you.

  • Are there any hotels at Kabul Airport?

It offers a selection of meals from international cuisines, free hot/soft drinks, work spots with charging points, and a variety of entertainment choices for those just looking to relax.

  • Which routes does Turkish Airlines operate from the UK to Kabul?

  • What is the luggage policy on Turkish Airlines flights?

    The luggage policy for Turkish Airlines flights between these cities varies depending on how many other airlines are involved in the route. If there are only two airlines involved, the EcoFly ticket usually allows one carry-on bag of 8 kg. Standard Economy includes carry-on and checked luggage. If there are three airlines, the advertised price doesn't include luggage. You can add extra luggage when booking online.

  • What's a good way to get to Kabul from the airport?

    Since there is no public transport at the airport, a good way to get to the city centre is to take a taxi from outside of the arrivals exit. Rideshare is another option and is sometimes cheaper. A car ride from the airport to the city takes roughly 10min.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kabul

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Kabul flight deals.
  • It's better for foreigners to use taxis or transfer services that are specifically designed for the international community. They're more likely to speak English, and you can arrange the cost and meeting place before you even land in Kabul, which protects you from being charged extra. A one-way transfer will be around ؋1,500 (about £15) from the airport into the city centre.
  • You can access Wi-Fi in Kabul Airport (KBL) by buying recharge cards at several shops or vending machines across the airport. Alternatively, you could buy a SIM card or USB key from one of the 4G operator shops at the airport. These will give you cheap internet access which you can top-up your access to for the duration of your stay in Afghanistan.
  • If you require any assistance in Kabul Airport, let your airline know up to 48h before you travel so they can make sure everything is prepared. Kabul Airport has adapted parking spaces, elevators, and dedicated assistance staff who will be ready for your arrival.
  • Kabul Airport has a broad selection of duty-free stores, where you can pick up souvenir products, Afghan specialities, pastries, wine, perfume, toys, and more.
  • There are bars and restaurants both airside and landside in both of Kabul Airport's terminals, and something is always open to cater for passengers who are flying late (so you'll be able to grab something to eat regardless of the time you fly).
  • Whether you're flying from London, Manchester, Edinburgh or anywhere else in the UK, flights to Kabul are typically operated by more than one airline and have self-transfer stopovers en route. Ensure you have enough time on a stopover to account for potential delays. Missing a connection on a self-transfer flight leaves you responsible for additional costs.
  • If you're planning a trip from London, London Gatwick Airport (LGW) offers some of the best single-stopover flights to Kabul from the city. Flights from London Heathrow (LHR) tend to be less affordable, while flights from London Luton (LTN), Stansted (STN) or London City (LCY) tend to have more than one stopover.

The quality of food is going down comparing with old history of excellent food. It was cold and a bad quality. The crew is always excellent and caring.

The journey was nice, all the crews were very good and services are excellent

Great flight - Clubhouse met our needs, and the staff provided good service. Boarding felt a little chaotic, but given the size of the aircraft, it's always going to be challenging. Whilst the crew were friendly, the number of passengers meant that we received our breakfast items, but had finished breakfast before we were served a drink. Lunch was much better organised, and throughout the flight, the crew were attentive. Found the seats and ICE to be excellent. Disembarkation was fine, and everything possible to expedite the process was being done.

We loved flying with Emirates in business class, the staff were fabulous, going above & beyond

The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.

Excellent comfort and entertainment. Service poor..Food average with little choice.

Comfort good. Service as usual poor. Cabin temperature as usual too cold, about 15 degrees

Fresh energetic and friendly crew, great food, brand new plane and non stop entertainment

The food was pretty good and the crew were excellent. It would have been excellent all round but for screaming children. Six hours at least of a 10 hr flight. Mostly 1 child clearly on the spectrum and probably ADHD but I really felt for the parents and grandparents who were obviously struggling and doing the best they could under the circumstances. No reflection on the airline of course and we all need to be more tolerant with these challenges . Slept for 15 hrs when I got home.

The boarding experience was worst ever. Single aerobridge used for boarding and deboarding which led to lot of chaos. Food options were not great. First flight delayed by more than 3 hours which led to missing of the next flight we were stuck at Dubai airport by more than 6 hours

Food could of been a bit more premium, but everything was excellent. LOVED the innovative boarding drinks and terrific service!

Staff could have been friendlier and offered drinks more often

They have adopted a crazy "no paper boarding passes at all cost policy". We spent half an our at the checkin stall – my elderly mother and her grandchildren were flying. She had no phone reception for some reason (besides being an inexperienced smartphone user), the kids had dumbphones, And they still won't issue a paper boarding pass. We had to do a lengthy dance with getting the boarding pass SMS on my phone and transferring them to her phone via WiFi. This was horrible, honestly. I can't imagine how they could manage it without me being there. Trees (and airline profits) should be less important than people.

Staff friendly. Business class but issue with flat bed. Incoming Turkish flight delayed. Made connection due to fast buggy but luggage did not make it. Confusion at Delhi airport

With a 4 hour delay its was a very basic flight which was just bearable. We were offered food vouchers for the delay and then they didnt work, so that was annoying. Also poor communication about the delay which got pushed out 3 times.

Very good overall.... apart from the cost of extra check ed in luggage where they charge £17 per kg, and no option to just buy an extra bag allowance (at least on the route I took)

Very old plane on the Istanbul to Bangkok flight, had an emergency exit isle row, no where to put anything, on a plus point loads of leg room. Food was the best I have had in 39 years of flying.

It was a nightmare. I booked business class ticket from Ediburgh to Beirut via Istanbul to attend a funeral. I had a wonderful experience flying to Istanbul from Edinburgh. Then I could not get a boarding pass issued to Beirut. It seems that although they booked me and I had a reservation number, I had no seat allocated and the flight was full. I was asked to go from one desk to another and made to wait for 2 hours. I missed my flight as I did not have a seat assigned and it was full. The only option was to put me on the next flight, 6 hours later, for a fee of over $400. They said that was the best they can do to 'help me' and to 'take it or leave it'. Well, I was not about to be bullied; I stood my ground. I booked and paid premium for the journey, which was confirmed. The eventually accepted to not charge me extra and i waited a total of over 8 hours in the airport with no compensation. On top of my grief with the risk of missing the funeral service, I had to put up with their indifference and condescending attitude. They spoke about me in Turkish thinking I would not understand (I hold a British passport) in front of me. When they eventually handed my passport and boarding pass back to me, I showed them I was born in Istanbul and that I understood everything and said a condescending 'thank you' back to them in Turkish. You should have seen their faces. I said that consumers have rights and it is a shame that Turkish Airlines does not have good customer service to at least acknowledge and apologize for errors committed by the airline. Blaming the me, the client, for such an error and placing unreasonable ultimatums, rudeness and dismissiveness to be rid of me, particularly when I was vulnerable and visibly grieving was really shocking... The airline taints the city of Istanbul and the people of Türkiye. Such a shame.

A good airline, but at checking in, they allocated seats for my wife, and I far away from each other, and to change them, they wanted a payment, such a bad policy, it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth All was good on the plane, good food, but the air hostess was abrupt and a bit rough dealing with the passengers, but one has to find excuses for staff working under pressure

I found it okay. Did not think the food was that great. And the service could have been better. Seat was a little cramped. Delay getting to Istanbul made me rush all the way across the airport to get to the connection. This was a not good experience.

Boarding staff at lahore airport corporate well. Thanks to that guy.

I booked tickets for a family of five and specifically paid extra to select our seats together. We spent nearly $1,000 extra (around $100 per seat) for extra legroom so we could sit near each other. However, despite paying for this, we ended up being separated on the flight. This caused a major issue for our family because my parents do not speak English and rely on me to translate and assist them during the journey. I do not understand why Etihad changed our reserved seats without explanation. I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I expect the airline to do better, and I am requesting a full refund for the seat selection fees we paid.

1 hour delay meant missed my connecting flight and 1st day of holiday

Etihad Check In counter/Station manager in Heathrow was bothering and not helpful at all. They are rude and not customer oriented

Will never book any flight from Kayak and will never travel ithad airline

I am a larger than average person and in my opinion i don't think it's fair to allocate a window seat to anyone who is my size or larger, i was seated between 2 large passengers on a full aircraft. The guy in the window seat also occupied a portion of the middle seat (my seat) which made my experience of flying with etihad very cramped and uncomfortable, i was flying from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok. Had this been a airbus 380 it would have been better as the seats are larger but unfortunately it wasn't so i had to endure the 6+hrs unable to get any rest

The business class experience is fantastic. The crew were polite but often unavailable even when I tried to call them! I even found myself bringing my used dishes and cutlery up to the crew because no one had come to collect it after over an hour.

In my opinion, Etihad Airways is a first rate airline except for one important element. On the day before my return flights, when I chose my seats on the Etihad website I was charged an additional $55 (US) in order to sit on the aisle. I was not at all happy about this additional "hidden" charge and I felt cheated.

Ripped off and broken seats in Business class. Seats stink and need to request the staff for additional bedsheets. Crew if very friendly though

Very very bad service very tight seats never ever flying with Etihad again

The flight was never confirmed, I was not sent a ticket, and my account was charged for this flight. I’m trying to get my money back for a flight that was not booked or confirmed. Terrible experience

The plane was too hot inside. There was no entertainment and we had to sit on the plane for one hour before takeoff. There was no free wifi.

Pegasus Airlines which is the most efficient and cost worth low cost airline all over the Europe

Flight from London was delayed and we had to hurry up to catch the connecting flight to Riyadh

Late departure. No announcements. Boarding was a disaster. Some kind of technical issue scanning boarding passes.

Pegasus is not a very comfortable airline. They’re not in any way hospitable

It was like moving cattle around. Very abrupt, uncomfortable and not much hospitality

All good but air not give the pasing er any food even glase of water

Flight delayed by 1hr when we already boarded because someone had to get off. Leg room is terrible for 6ft people like me.

Cheap and cheerful. It’s a super cheap, no frills flight. Very professional and as it’s an A320 relatively spacious. Seats do not recline. Happy with the service. You get what you pay for. Can’t complain
