When searching for a good deal, it’s best to be prepared for potential fluctuations in price. We recommend booking at least 61 days in advance, which can save you up to 13% on flights from USA to Turkey compared to booking the week you need them. Waiting 61 days out may not be for everyone, so we have options available for flights within the next two weeks, with the lowest price starting at $1,099. For sooner than that we have options available in the next 3 days from $1,177.
Our data shows that January tends to be the cheapest month to fly to Turkey from USA. Users have commonly found prices around $1,031 for the month, but tickets can be as low as $679. Due to multiple factors, prepare for potentially higher prices in July.
Regardless of the time of day you decide to fly, the ticket price will remain around the same. Book flights from USA to Turkey as you normally would.

When we boarded our flight we were not given a pink tag even though we were informed before boarding we could receive one. We got to our seats and there was no overhead space then had to leave the plane remove our luggage and get back on with such tight space. Flight attendants had no control over it but the employee at the gate should have pink tagged from the beginning to eliminate the headache.

Turkish Airlines has come up with tailor-made eco-friendly packaging for all products served to passengers during the flights. Their innovative packaging solution is biodegradable and compostable without releasing pollutants. Lufthansa Airlines is now using lighter containers to transport cargo and luggage, thus making them more fuel-efficient. The containers are also made from sustainable composite materials.

Even if you cannot commit to going vegetarian, a simple sacrifice on your flight will represent a decline in the demand for meat. The carriers will buy less meat, which means fewer animals are killed. Alternatively, you can pack your own food from home in reusable containers to avoid using single-use plastic and minimize the amount of waste that goes into the environment. Better still, taking your own meal on your flight usually means eating a healthier meal. You can also bring a reusable water bottle from home to reduce plastic waste from water bottles while traveling.
