Turkish Airlines has launched a US Summer Sales Campaign offering round-trip fares from $599 on routes between the United States and Türkiye. The promotional fares cover departures from a range of American cities and must be booked between 13 July and 27 July 2026, with travel valid from 7 September 2026 through 28 February 2027.

Who This Affects

The sale applies to passengers departing from US gateways served by Turkish Airlines, including New York (JFK), Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), Houston (IAH), Washington (IAD), Miami (MIA), and Boston (BOS). Return fares from $599 represent a significant discount on standard transatlantic pricing to the region, particularly for autumn and winter travel when Türkiye draws visitors seeking off-peak conditions.

Istanbul-bound travellers from the US typically fly nonstop to Istanbul Airport (IST), with Turkish Airlines’ hub offering convenient connections to domestic destinations throughout Türkiye.

What You Can Do with $599

A round-trip to Türkiye from the US for under $600 opens up more of the trip budget for experiences on the ground. From Istanbul, Turkish Airlines operates an extensive domestic network connecting all major Turkish destinations:

  • Cappadocia (Kayseri or Nevşehir airports): the cave hotels and hot-air balloon landscape that defines many visitors’ image of Türkiye
  • Antalya: the main gateway for the Turquoise Coast, Pamukkale, and the ancient sites of Lycia and Pamphylia
  • Ankara: the capital, with the Anatolian Civilisations Museum and Atatürk Mausoleum
  • Bodrum and Dalaman: access points for the Aegean coast, sailing routes, and Greek island day trips

September to February covers Türkiye’s shoulder and winter season. September and October are widely regarded as the best months to visit: temperatures have dropped from peak summer heat, the crowds have thinned, and the light in Istanbul - particularly around the Bosphorus and the historic peninsula - is exceptional.

Booking Notes

  • Book by 27 July 2026 to secure the promotional fares
  • Fares are round-trip from the US; availability and exact pricing vary by departure city and travel date
  • The $599 entry price is for economy class; business class fares are promoted separately
