What we can help with

New bookings via Istanbul
We help plan itineraries that use Turkish Airlines' broad Istanbul hub connectivity.
Schedule changes

Traveling with Turkish Airlines
Turkish Airlines operates from Istanbul Airport (IST) as its primary hub, with Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen as a secondary base. The airline claims to fly to more countries than any other carrier and is a member of the Star Alliance. From the US, Turkish Airlines serves gateways including New York JFK, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles and Washington Dulles, among others — with service expanding to 14 US destinations in recent years.
Turkish Airlines launched a notable new partnership with Southwest Airlines in late 2025, scheduled for 2026, which allows connectivity between the two airlines' networks.
Turkish Airlines US routes and Istanbul connectivity
US flights to Istanbul connect to a network of more than 300 destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. For travelers heading to destinations like Nairobi, Lagos, Baku, Tashkent or smaller Eastern European and Caucasian cities, Turkish Airlines through Istanbul is often the most direct routing available.
Istanbul Airport itself is one of the world's largest, and connection times at IST need to be considered when planning itineraries, particularly for travelers with tight schedules.
Route information reflects the published network for Turkish Airlines as of September 2026 and can change; check the airline directly for current schedules.
How MyFlightsAssist can help
Turkish Airlines' fare rules on US routes follow Star Alliance norms in some respects but have their own specifics. We check your ticket before recommending any change and look at connection implications through Istanbul before acting.
Any fare, fee or penalty set by Turkish Airlines is separate from our own professional service fee. See our Service Fees page for details.
