Turkish Airlines Europe

Turkish Airlines is one of the best airlines for building a European trip that goes well beyond a simple return airfare. With Istanbul as its hub and an enormous network stretching across Europe, Türkiye and beyond, we can combine multiple European cities, stopovers and open-jaw routings into one cleverly constructed itinerary.

The possibilities are enormous. Fly into London and home from Rome, add an Istanbul stopover, combine major cities with harder-to-reach destinations, or use different European gateways in each direction. Turkish Airlines serves more countries than any other airline, giving us an exceptional network to work with when building your trip.

Add Turkish Airlines’ excellent Business Class, renowned onboard dining and a fantastic range of partner airlines from Australia, and these fares become one of our favourite ways to create great-value European multi-city journeys with far more flexibility than a standard return ticket.

Turkish Airlines & Partner Options from Australia

Turkish Airlines operates its own services from Sydney and Melbourne through to Istanbul (Prime Flights). Melbourne services operate via Singapore, while Sydney currently operates via Kuala Lumpur before switching to Singapore from late October 2026. From Istanbul, Turkish Airlines’ enormous network opens up connections across Europe and beyond.

The fares also allow us to use a wide selection of partner airlines between Australia and Asia, creating more choice around departure cities, stopovers, schedules and availability.

• Qantas – Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bali, Hong Kong, Manila & Tokyo
• Malaysia Airlines – Kuala Lumpur
• Thai Airways – Bangkok
• Cathay Pacific – Hong Kong
• ANA – Tokyo
• Singapore Airlines – Singapore
• Garuda Indonesia – Jakarta & Bali
• Jetstar – Phuket, Singapore & Bali
• Batik Air – Kuala Lumpur, Bali & Jakarta

This flexibility means we can choose Turkish Airlines’ own Australian services or build the fare around the Asian gateway and partner airline that works best for your trip.

Asia Stopovers

Turkish Airlines fares open up an impressive range of Asian stopovers, including Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Phuket, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Ho Chi Minh City, Delhi, Taipei and Manila. Depending on the fare and partner airline, we can often use different Asian gateways in each direction, adding another destination to your European journey.

Istanbul Stopover Program – Free Hotel Accommodation

Istanbul can also become part of the holiday. Eligible Turkish Airlines fares from Australia can include complimentary accommodation during an extended Istanbul stopover.

Economy Class passengers can receive one complimentary night in a 4-star hotel, while Business Class passengers can receive two nights in a 5-star or boutique hotel.

Eligibility depends on the ticket, flights and stopover length, so ask your Airfare Geeks consultant and we can check the available options when building your itinerary.

Turkish Airlines consistently ranks among the world’s strongest Business Class airlines, combining an excellent onboard product with its enormous global network and renowned Turkish hospitality.

Business Class does vary by aircraft. The Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350-900 feature Turkish Airlines’ newer 1-2-1 seating with direct aisle access and fully flat beds, while other long-haul aircraft have different configurations. The A350 is one of our preferred options, offering excellent privacy, storage and personal space. Across the fleet, a major highlight is the onboard dining, with Turkish Airlines particularly well known for its Flying Chefs, Turkish cuisine and extensive meal service.

The flagship Turkish Airlines Business Lounge in Istanbul is another highlight. The enormous lounge features live cooking stations and regional Turkish dishes, private shower suites, sleeping areas, entertainment spaces and plenty of room to relax during a longer connection. For eligible passengers, it makes an Istanbul transit or stopover considerably more enjoyable.

Sample Turkish Airlines Multi-City Itineraries

Turkish Airlines fares can combine Asia, Türkiye and multiple European cities within one itinerary. Here are a few examples:

• Bangkok, London & Istanbul
  Australia → Bangkok → London // Istanbul → Australia
• Bangkok, Munich, Lisbon & Istanbul
  Australia → Bangkok → Munich // Lisbon → Istanbul → Australia
• Bangkok, Milan, London, Istanbul & Singapore
  Australia → Bangkok → Milan // London → Istanbul → Singapore → Australia

These are sample itineraries rather than fixed-price packages. Every fare is manually built around your dates, cabin and availability, with Asian and European stopovers adjusted to suit your trip.
