FAQs - booking Turkey flights

  • Which airports can I use to fly to Turkey?

From Scotland you can leave from either Glasgow (GLA) or Edinburgh Turnhouse (EDI) airports. From Ireland or Northern Ireland, leave from Dublin Airport (DUB) or Belfast City Airport (BHR). Newcastle (NCL), Birmingham (BHX) and Manchester (MAN) airports also offer flights.

  • Are some flights to Turkey more carbon-efficient than others?

    Your best bet to reduce your carbon footprint on flights to Turkey is to fly from Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Istanbul International Airport (IST). Lufthansa is a good carrier to choose. Its flights emit almost 60% less CO2 than average, making at single stop at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) en route. British Airways can save almost as much, with the extra advantage of being a direct flight from the UK to Turkey.

  • Which airlines operate direct flights to Turkey?

    Turkish Airlines, AtlasGlobal and Pegasus Airlines all operate direct flights from London airports – Gatwick (LGW), Heathrow (LHR) and Stansted (STN) – and from Manchester Airport (MAN), while Turkish Airlines also operates direct flights from Birmingham Airport (BHX) and Edinburgh Airport. You can also find additional flight routes through holiday providers such as Thomas Cook and Jet2.

  • Do I need a car seat for my child in Turkey?

    If your child weighs less than 80 lbs, then it is mandatory in Turkey for you to have a child car seat for them. Taxis do not carry these seats, so if you intend to take a taxi to and from the airport you may need to think about carrying your own child car seat from home.

  • Where should I fly to in Turkey if I want to see Cappadocia?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Turkey

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Turkey flight deals.
  • Use the KAYAK price filters to more easily find cheap flights to Turkey. The cheapest available flights will be displayed for you to choose from. For example, there are really cost-effective flights from London Stansted Airport (STN) directly to Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW).
  • Rather than rely on public transport in Turkish cities, which isn't comprehensive, or spend money on taxis, it pays to hire a car at the same time when you find cheap flights to Turkey. It's a great idea to book a hire car too. You can collect your vehicle at the brand's desk at any of the airports handling arrivals from Britain.
  • To get a cheap flight to Turkey, you can also look for those that make stopovers on the way. Many of these are operated by one or more airlines in combination. For instance, you can fly from London Luton Airport (LTN) to Sabiha Gokcen Airport on Wizz Air, changing to Pegasus Airlines at Tirana Rinas Airport (TIA).
  • Turkey has a number of main airports that receive flights from the UK. The new Istanbul International Airport (IST) serves as the hub for the European side of Turkey, while Ankara Esenboga Airport (ESB) is situated in the capital city and acts as the hub on the Asian side of the country. If you wanted to explore the south-west coast of Turkey, you could book a flight into Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV) or Antalya Airport (AYT), which are located on the southern coastline.
  • If you are looking at flights to Turkey so you can visit some of sights on the south-west coast, you can book a flight to Bodrum Airport, giving you access to the Bodrum Peninsula on the Aegean Sea. Dalaman Airport (DLM) is an alternative entry point that is also in the south-west of the country.
  • For those who want to spend time at Pamukkale thermal springs, it might be an idea to book an onward flight from Istanbul to Denizli Cardak Airport (DNZ), which takes you within a 1h drive of Pamukkale and its thermal pools.
  • It is possible to purchase Turkish currency when you land in Turkey, either by using your card at an ATM or using one of the foreign exchange counters at the larger airports where the rates are usually better than they are outside the country. Euros may be accepted in some of the larger centres and resorts, and some hotels will change currency without charging commission.
  • As a British passport holder, you will be required to get a visitor’s visa to enter Turkey. This should be done online before you fly, and it is advisable to print out a copy of your visa to present at the Turkish border which will mitigate any potential technical problems. Your passport will need to be valid for a minimum of 6 months from your entry into Turkey and in order to ensure there is space for stamps, it will need to have one blank page.

Turkish airlines always is an excellent airline, bottle water, comfort kits were provided. Decent food on board, friendly staffs.

Boarding at Istanbul airport is pretty good. The seats on the A319 are easily the smallest and tightest I’ve ever flown. I’m 1,82m and knees firmly against seat in front of me, as upright in seat as I could get. Very uncomfortable

The food was disgusting that only what i wanted to say

Was an excellent experience I have been flying Turkish Airlines for 5 years and always will

It was good. Turkish Airlines is one of the best airlines companies. I like a lot to travel with them

The first flight got delayed 1 hour and that made me miss my connection flight which made me arrive 6 hours later.

Four of my family members was settled in a different seats. I paid extra $200 dollars for 4 seats just to be all together, but they settled us on separated seats. After a lots of time they put us 2 and 2. My kids are 9 and 13 . How i can leave them alone???

Food could have been hotter. More padding needed in economy seats

It is much better than other airlines but not the best for the price

Everything was great except the meat served was tough and overcooked!

We boarded and then sat on the tarmac for an hour….probably not E Jets fault. But the gentleman that checked us in and took our luggage was exceptionally friendly and calming for early morning/ confused passengers. As always, it’s the people that make or break an experience, right?

Kayak sent several notifications that the flight was late. This contradicted the information on the airport boards. This was extremely confusing and we very nearly missed the flight purely because we double checked with the info desk when the flight stays said’closed’. Kayak notifications are therefore unreliable and pointlesa

Usual issues with flight delay. Perennial problem of travel by plane.

Delayed almost 2 hours sitting on plane. No updates at all from flight deck and virtually no updates from cabin crew

Long delay resulted in my being unable to catch a train home and resulted in an additional £76 cost for an Uber

Be sure to check bags for 23 kg,.(50 lbs) Coming from US I chose the wrong size luggage weight when I checked in on my phone, and had to pay more when I dropped it off

The flight was delayed for over 1 hour. The boarding process is appalling making you wait for 30 minutes in the passage leading to the outside door without any seats.

All around poor experience. Barely got on flight because it was ostensibly overbooked. Forced into checking a carryon bag with empty overhead compartments. Nickeled and dimed. Charged for coffee. Despicable.

The on board air steward really made the journey. He was very entertaining

I was disappointed there was a 40 minute delay to flight

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

The crew were outstandingly kind and cheerful. We carried our cat and they offered help.

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

Pegasus is a very efficient airline. Passengers, however are sometimes unruly. Getting up right after take off. Getting up right when we land and before getting to the gate. Switching seats to the front so she can get a better seat. It is unfair for those that actually paid for seats. Flight attendants seem to not enforce it. One or two bad actors ruins it. Overall, the airline is great.

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.

I used the airline 5-6 times for the last year and every flight have had perfect timing and I like it. Despite catastrophic absence of space for my legs 😁

Terrible flight mainly due to the emergency landing caused by a tyre blow out on take off and late landing at Gatwick which was rough and then once we stopped we weee surrounded by emergency services. Nobody informed us of what was happening and we were all scared due to the smell of aviation fuel throughout the cockpit. When we eventually got off the flight with the help of the emergency services we boarded buses that took us to the arrivals area where we waited over 3 hours for our baggage. Poor communication throughout and was left feeling shaken and distressed. Never flying with sunexpress again.

Sat in line to check in for 3 hours because this prehistoric airline doesn’t allow for online checkin.

Bad check-in. No online check in available. Family wasn’t seated together.

Hi That was mistake with send me ticket That was wrong date , becouse of 12. April Was 11. April I bought one Way igen in the airport!!! Problem with check in Problem with not send email for check-in I must have my money back 750kr for buy again ticket !! Thanks Kolsom

Not a great selection of food and the snacks were quite pricey. No entertainment at all, not even a magazine to read, but hey, it's a budget airline. The flight departed on time and arrived on time, so no complaints.

Disorganized service and aging equipment paired with inexperienced personnel. This was not what my husband and I paid for.

It didn't happen; Sun Express cancelled the flight, even more, the route to that destination. I got a full refund, which of course was not enough to buy a new ticket so close to the date of travel

Checkin with agent-no eye contact, no words. No smile. Agents late to open checkin counter. Flight was full. Child in back of my seat pushing with legs and feet, thus moving the backrest of my chair. No attendants during the flight, only before takeoff and at landing. Plane ride itself was smooth and quick. Good pilot landing at airport.

Had extra leg room seats which were really good, no entertainment on flight but had downloaded stuff to watch from Netflix, good and drink was expensive in the flight

Our seats smelled like someone puked on them and they were not cleaned up. It was nauseating the entire flight. Plus their planes are not comfortable. We don’t recommend them.

It’s a budget airline. You get what you pay for. They insisted on getting us out of the gate and into our slot on time. They got us to the destination safely. Aircraft was clean and well maintained. What more could we want

Half an hour delay. Squeezed into a small Departure Lounge with very few seats. Noisy flight with screaming unruly kids. Loud IPads and Phones. Heaven!

Were delayed in the airport for 5 hours with no explanation. Flight kept getting delayed by an hour at a time and wizz air staff were no where to be found

The flight was delayed 5 hours and I'm and invalid,I wan a refund for this

The cabin crew on that flight were super fantastic and super helpful. They were so polite and considerate that i felt i travelled with a 5star airline.

Delayed delayed delayed - always with Wizzair. Staff were friendly and well mannered but clearly the company is unorganized and the aircrafts are outdated.

It's a budget airline. Great for short flight. Smooth landing.

4 hr delay and only told less than 2hrs before. Only given water and nuts on the flight as complimentary service. Left to wait in rain before boarding.

To be honest I did not like anything. Communication to why my flight was cancelled mid air 2 and half hours into my flight. Customer service desk were not helpful with providing information or a solution on what can be done.

I have been treated unacceptably by WizzAir aircraft crew in a previous flight, they threatened me and abused me, and I received an OFFICIAL written apology, but only two (2) months later. This flight had no such unacceptable behaviour, but it's not nice to be left waiting in the walkway (from gate to aircraft) for a long time, just so that the 'boarding' appears to be early, even if actual departure is not.
