FAQs - booking Türkiye flights

  • Are there nonstop flights from the US to Turkey?

    You can get nonstop flights to Turkey from any major international airport in the US, including New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), and San Francisco (SFO). Most nonstop flights head into IST and are offered by Turkish Airlines. For those flying from the West Coast, nonstop flights from SFO are faster and much cheaper than those from LAX.

  • What are the common stopover options for flights from the US to Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW)?

    All flights from the US to SAW have at least one layover en route that varies depending on your airline, origin city, and destination airport. Most airlines flying from New York John (JFK) have common stops in Munich (MUC), Brussels (BRU), Milan (MXP), Dubai (DBX), Amsterdam (AMS), and Doha (DIA) depending on your airline. Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines are some of the major airlines that offer one-stop flights from San Francisco to SAW with a stop in Doha, Paris (CGD), Frankfurt (FRA), or Munich.

  • Which airport should I fly into to be closer to Istanbul’s landmarks?

    Since most tourist hotspots, historical attractions, iconic restaurants, and popular markets exist on the European side of Istanbul, flying into IST puts you much closer to Istanbul’s landmarks. The Hava Bus boarded from the transportation floor should quickly get you to downtown, Taksim, Sultanahmet, or Kadikoy.

  • What is the best airport to fly into Turkey for flights from the US?

    Flights from the US to Turkey usually land at Ankara Esenboga Airport (ESB), Antalya International Airport, Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, and Istanbul Airport. Of all these airports, Istanbul stands out when you consider flights from the US. Not only does the airport receive direct flights from the US, but its amenities also put it ahead of the other airports in the country.

  • Which is the main airport in Istanbul?

    Istanbul is served by two high-functioning international airports, IST and SAW. IST is considered the main airport for several reasons. First, it is the larger and more modern airport and most nonstop flights from the US head into IST. Secondly, IST offers passengers premium lounges, shorter immigration queues, and many restaurant options. Third, you'll get more domestic flight connections from IST than SAW.

  • Is Istanbul International Airport accessible?

    Yes. If you're a passenger with reduced mobility, you can request wheelchair assistance services through your airline. The airport also offers accessible wheelchair-accessible restrooms, stair-free options, and accessible drinking fountains. If you make a reservation for special assistance services at least 48 hours before you travel, you will get the service in less than 15 minutes on the day you fly. Just make a notification using any assistant call phone at the airport. Passengers who arrive at the airport without making a reservation may have to wait for up to 45 minutes to get this service.

  • Will I find cheap public transport at airports in Turkey?

    The two main airports, IST and SAW, have various public transport options for easy access to downtown Istanbul. Taxis are available 24-hours, and there’s a bus from both airports. The transportation floor at IST is two levels below the terminal building’s main floor, and it’s where you’ll purchase bus tickets, while at SAW, you’ll find the buses just outside the main terminal building, and tickets can be purchased on board, so have the local currency.

  • Is there a hotel at Istanbul Airport?

    Yes. YOTEL Istanbul Hotel operates in two locations within the airport, one is before security while the other is in the secure zone of the airport. The first is next to Door 7’s entrance Landslide of the Terminal. The hotel has about 277 sleep cabins and it also offers day rooms in 4-hour blocks. Booking a stay here gives you access to self-service drinks and food and a fitness center. The hotel in the secure zone has about 174 sleep cabins and also offers day rooms.

  • Which airport should I fly into to be close to Turkey’s coastal cities?

    Those flying to Turkey to enjoy its beautiful Mediterranean beaches should fly into Antalya Airport. It is one of Turkey’s international airports with two international terminals and one domestic terminal, and AYT receives flights from the US.

  • How long is the flight to Türkiye?

    An average nonstop flight from the United States to Türkiye takes 15h 23m, covering a distance of 5899 miles. The most popular route is New York - Istanbul with an average flight time of 9h 40m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Türkiye?

    The cheapest ticket to Türkiye from the United States found in the last 72 hours was $372 one-way, and $476 round-trip. The most popular route is New York John F Kennedy Intl to Istanbul and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $497.

  • Which airlines fly to Türkiye?

    Turkish Airlines, Pakistan International Airlines & IndiGo fly the most frequently from the United States to Türkiye. The most popular route is from New York to Istanbul, and Turkish Airlines, IndiGo and Avianca fly this route the most.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Türkiye?

    The next most popular destinations are Antalya (2%) and Izmir (1%). Searches for flights to Ankara (0.9%), to Bodrum (0.4%) and to Adana (0.2%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Türkiye

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Türkiye flight deals.
  • Most flights from the US to Antalya International Airport (AYT) include a single layover en route. The most common layover cities are Istanbul, Frankfurt, or Munich.
  • Antalya International Airport (AYT) has three terminals, a Domestic Terminal and Terminals 1 and 2 that handle international flights. The facilities and amenities in the terminals are modern and passengers can easily get around the airport via a walkway or Bus Route 600.
  • Those looking for cheap flights to Istanbul should consider flying into Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW) instead of Istanbul Airport (IST). Most US flights to SAW include a layover en route and are much cheaper than those to IST.
  • Looking for a place to relax after your flight to Istanbul Airport (IST)? Head to the IGA Lounge located next to the Passport Control Airside of the International Terminal. This lounge allows you to pay at the door whenever space is available. You can also access the lounge through a prepaid lounge pass.
  • All US citizens flying to Turkey must have a passport with a validity of six months beyond their entry date. US citizens need a visa for stays less than 90 days, and you can get an online tourist visa which is processed in less than 24h.
  • If you’re planning to travel to Istanbul from the US, consider flying with Turkish Airlines. It offers nonstop flights to IST from most cities including San Francisco (SFO), New York (JFK), Miami (MIA), and Chicago (ORD) just to mention a few.
  • If you wish to tour Istanbul in between your flight through Istanbul, you can get a transit visa from your airline (mostly Turkish Airlines) and extend your layover, giving you a chance to leave the airport and explore the city.
  • Get a car rental at Antalya Airport if you’re looking for a great way to explore attractions in the city. Avis, Aytucar, Cizgi, Filo, GoldCar, Budget, and Alamo offer onsite services in the Arrivals Hall of the terminals.
  • If you wish to be closer to the city center, consider flying into Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW) instead of Istanbul Airport (IST). SAW is much closer to downtown Istanbul, and it is also an international airport receiving flights from the US. It offers many domestic flights as well.
  • Consider flying to Adana Sakirpasa International Airport (ADA) if you're looking to explore the Cilicia region. The airport is conveniently close to the city center, just about with the trip taking approximately 10 minutes when using the municipal bus service.

Boarding was a sh!t show. JFK BOARDING was awful. The agent called three sections at a time Clogging the area then yelling at people to not block the walk way. How are you going to call delta one , premium select and comfort plus at once and the yell at highest paying passengers. Need to do a lot better and the flight attendants in the galley need to understand that their voices travel. They were talking about others and everyone in the cabin heard them

Uncomfortable seats on 14 hour flight. Mediocre food. On time and great crew.

Please see my lengthy description on MSP to Atlanta survey. Tailbone is killing me from old hard seats. Seat would not recline and were not near exit row. Entertainment did not work properly and couldn’t use. No audio and touch screen failed. 3 plus hours of discomfort in narrower seats than previous flight not in comfort plus. Very dissatisfied and deserve comfort plus charges refunds, at the very least, for both my wife and I. The plane needs to be retired. Please feel free to contact me directly for further details.

MSP to Atlanta was much better than Atlanta to St. Kitts. Paid $180 each for myself and wife for Delta comfort from Atlanta to St. Kitts. Seats were more narrow and obviously old and worn out. Tailbone is killing me. Seat would not recline. Seats behind reclined and we were not an exit row or in front of an exit row. Entertainment did not work in that the movie jumped forward and back and there was no audio. The plug in the arm rest was loose. Flight attendant tried “resetting” the video for my seat but no good. She never checked back. Someone else near me had the same issue. Touch screen was unresponsive. No where near as comfortable as MSP to Atlanta flight. 3 plus hrs. flight time without the basic amenities and not even remotely close to comfortable but paid for Comfort plus. I will be very disappointed if I have the same on my return “Comfort Plus” flight St. Kitts to Atlanta. At the very least my wife and I should be refunded for round trip “Comfort Plus” charges. Please feel free to contact me directly for more details.

public website still broken for years randomly blocking browsers with privacy options active after loading a page maybe once. check-in on laptop was almost impossible but eventually randomly worked. had to print pass at airport since couldn't get back in to load digital pass on mobile firefox or chrome. red eye flight so smooth onboarding, plenty of room to spread out, easy offboarding. onboard wifi instructions mention vpn can cause problems connecting but fails to also mention private dns. no printed or built in menu list, seems weird to require personal device to point at qr code link for menu which does not even allow direct ordering. people with health condition risk related dietary restrictions trying to avoid for example cholesterol and sugar are left guessing what they can order either way without nutritional info highlights (cranberry juice was minute maid cocktail with as much suger as typical can of soda). tap to pay wasn't working and always seems sketchy to manually enter card info. good movie variety, so limited tv was okay.

It wasn't really their fault it was the horrible winds and we just got unlucky.

Great experience overall. Check in at Austin was congested as they only have about 6 check in kiosks, one was broken, and there was a lot of Spring Break travelers.

The main person that was coordinating everything was a short white/light skin Spanish man and he was very rude. It honestly made me feel like it was everyone’s First day at work. His announcements were very not reasonable and they did not make sense. The stewardess on the flight that made the announcements she didn’t even know what she was talking about she sounded inebriated. There were no snacks or drinks on our flight there wasn’t even much turbulence. This flight was not enjoyable nor was it what a Delta flight should be and just this past week I flew with Delta 3 times.

The landing was bad and the hostess came two times and i was sleeping but when she served the person that nexts to me I woke up and she didn’t even asked me if I need any drink or snacks two times!!!!

The helpful attitude of the staff, and being a wheelchair passenger everyone was helpful and understanding. The trip was made comfortable by the upgraded seat which was given without my request, that was a great surprise. Thank you Delta.

Quality of service on board was very inconsistent. FA service primarily seemed robotic and they barely engaged with passengers

I’m unclear why I had to pay extra for assigned seats as Turkish airlines did not honor the seating. We were placed across the aisle from each other on TK 34, and were seated behind one another on TK 694. Because my name was misspelled on e-ticket (Klawiter, instead of Klawitter) I could not log onto website to get the connection gate number in Istanbul. The monitors in the airport were a jumbled mess 1/2 Arabic and 1/2 English.

On line check in needs a lot of improvement. I tried and gave up.

Food not good, flight attendants not the best, not accommodating very ruff

the female flight attendant was racist towards me. I could tell she treated the two other passengers next to me with more softness.

Oh my god! For an13 hour flight they serve you food just one time. Also don’t be thirsty they give you a little small cup of soda to drink. They seem like their goal is to feed you one so they don’t have to be bothered with you. It quite surprise for such a long flight there are several times to eat at least three and the food was well lackluster. The food and lack of offering drinks which were always hot no ice provided.

We were traveling first class. Checkin counter lady and her manager, both were in bad mood and did not treat us well about checking in the handbag. The gate agent took care of it right away. I travel Turkish twice a year in first class. No one has ever refused to check in the hand bag. Not sure, why this agent and her manager refused. Everything else was excellent.

The 787 economy was a disaster for long haul. The space was too little compared to 777 or 747. Also the extremely low tray table behind the seat made any dining effort a nightmare. However, the movies were up to date, and the food taste was good, despite of terrible serving process caused by small space.

A little bit more comfort. It’s tight space around the seats. But all else is great and a smooth flight!

0ur assigned seats were given to other individuals when we boarded the plane. We were given new boarding passes with new seats all the way at the back of the plane. The reason given to us was that there were issues with the seats. We found out that there were no issues, and someone else's were seated on those.

Flight was delayed 3 hours. Pilot cancelled flight under 4 people volunteered to change their seats to economy from business class.

Good friendly service and food - The seats in business class are old, too hard and not very comfortable.

Last minute cancelation, though a substitute flight was found I could not pick my meal or seat. The hotel offered didn't have working air control or shower.

My seat was not the one I paid for, the crew was very curt, and the cabin was extremely warm.

Old plane with terrible business class seats - good food and service. Boarding was a joke with business class boarding last.

Best airline to travel on a budget- really like their reasonably priced access to the SAS lounges where available.

The flight was cancelled early on and messed up the whole vacation and hard to get a refund from Kayak as they owned the ticket and of course they did not believe that SAS cancelled the ticket. Definite bad side to third party. SAS had rescheduled but overlapped the connecting flights. That did not work. Flight was cancelled long ago but Kayak still has it. Like it was taken? Bad IT ? Or all assumptions and no follow up which is the whole IT world. It needs to wake up and be more efficient. Especially as the world is going, there will be no freedom to do anything. And we will be living like the Middle Ages. Yeah, go read up on that while you still can.

Flight was delayed slightly but was very smooth. It was a short flight but comfortable.

Not worth paying for business class on this airline. The seating is exactly the same as the rest of the plane. Crowded. Horrible food.

Alt vel, det ar jo en enkel flytur på 2,5 timer

Great seats assigned and comfortable, movies are good, food is delicious, great experience. No delays and they prioritize boarding children with parents which is plus.

they canceled my flight and we’re absolutely atrocious and helping me rebook

My flight was canceled. New flight is 40 hours later and I still didn’t get the flight from Frankfurt to Zagreb.

Great service. The flight was in great condition and the staff was very cheerful.

Check in crew in Charlotte NC was superb. There were 6 of them plus what looked like a supervisor, helping to answer questions and keep things moving. Never saw so many check in crew. Then some of them showed up at the gate later for boarding. Great. The flight was mediocre. The seats were small with little leg room. The screens kept coming on when we were trying to sleep and wouldn’t shut off. I know we paid far less than first class but does that mean we should be shoved in there??

Boarding was horrible. We were packed into a bus with few seats and made to stand for 10 to 15 minutes, then driven for 5 minutes on wild curves. Complementary food and drink was a tiny chocolate and a bottle of water. Seating was cramped. Aircraft had no video.

didn’t even get to go one of my returning flights cancelled and I wasn’t even in their system, vacation ruined thanks for nothing

The process overall was pretty seamless, and the crew were very friendly (especially Michael). Considering we booked expecting Lufthansa and the flight was operated by United, it was still a very good service and journey overall. The in-flight entertainment was great, with lots of quality options. One slight negative was that I had selected a vegetarian meal prior to flying, but received a vegan one. I think there should be more dietary options as it meant I missed out on some food that I would have preferred (and it seemed like the standard meals and snacks had a vegetarian option anyway). There was also a group of people who were moving around a lot and being generally disruptive at the quietest part of the flight, when the lights were off and most people were sleeping. I would have appreciated staff stepping in to encourage them to be mindful of others). Towards the end of the flight (which was very early in the morning in both time zones), the lights suddenly came on and breakfast was served. In my opinion, this was too early, and everyone was rudely awoken from sleep. After breakfast was cleared away, the lights went off again for about 45 minutes, allowing people to sleep some more. Then the lights came on again for landing. It seems like if they had served breakfast later, the lights on-lights off-lights on shenanigans could have been avoided, and people could have slept longer (and staff could have rested longer too).

Crew was rowdy and loud just hanging out in the rear of the plane instead of assisting passengers during boarding. During the flight the crew mostly hung out in the rear of the plane being obnoxious to a point of disturbance.

The accommodations are top-notch. The only negative was that both our initial flights were delayed, which caused us to miss one and almost miss the other. The staff immediately handled the missed flight and compensated us for the inconvenience.

The crew on this flight were attentive, efficient and friendly. It really made for an enjoyable flight.

The crew on this flight were excellent. They were friendly and attentive. It really made the flight more enjoyable.

They canceled my flight , they put me on a different flight that was delayed and the connection was lost . They lost my luggage. And now I’m stuck with any of my belongings.

British Airways canceled our plane and gave us a new flight scheduled to leave in only three hours, so we had to drop everything and rush to the airport. The new itinerary only left us a one hour layover in Madrid, which was too short because the plane landed late and so we missed our connecting flight. We were then booked onto a flight scheduled to take off 8 hours later, and were not given any compensation or remedial measures.

Seat layout, flight/club attendant service, food variety and quality could have been better. Business class Standard is visibly low compared with 6 other airlines that we have traveled for the past two years.

Despite many attempts to work out a change, neither British Airways nor Kayak nor Chatdeal would allow us to cancel or change this flight so we lost all of the payments when we were not able to fly. Absolutely terrible customer service. We will never use either of the services again.

It said that there was wifi. During the flight there was no wifi and while waiting at the gate the phone services already got cut off so I wasn’t able to say I am taxiing from the gate to my husband. This left me with an uncomfortable feeling. So I was waiting on the WiFi connection during flight and that never happened.

I asked for a wheelchair. I have a back health condition. I had to walk a lot

Asked for a wheelchair multiple times. Got denied the wheelchair in London layover.

They sell 1h /1h30min connection ticket that are impossible to make
