Turkish Airlines (Türk Hava Yollari; codes: TK, THY) is a good, competent international airline with worldwide routes and domestic connections to every important Turkish city.

THY has non-stop flights from New York, Miami, Chicago and most major European and Asian cities to Istanbul.

THY's aircraft fleet is relatively new and its safety record is quite good. Terminal and in-flight service is generally of a very good European standard, security is better than most, and everybody speaks English. Flights & fares

Most other major European national airlines (Alitalia, Air France, British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Olympic, SAS, etc) also have flights to Istanbul.

Within Turkey, THY runs domestic flights from its Istanbul hub to every important city, town and tourist resort in the country (map: Regions & Major Cities) including Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman, Izmir and Kayseri (for Cappadocia). Its low-fare domestic subsidiary, AnadoluJet, flies to many more cities. More...

Its competitors, Onur Air, AtlasJet, IZair, Pegasus Airlines, and Sun Express, fly many of the same routes for lower fares.

You can make your reservations via any of my recommended travel agencies in Turkey. It's often easier than fighting with the airlines' websites, and you may save money. More...
