Business class flights to Istanbul
Turkish Airlines' home fortress, which is precisely why the fares can be beaten.
Business class flights to Istanbul from the US start around $2,800 round-trip through negotiated fares, versus $5,000-$8,500 published. Turkish Airlines flies nonstop from more than ten US gateways with the industry's most celebrated catering, and its dominance on the corridor is exactly what negotiated contracts are built to counterbalance.

The advisor playbook
How we buy Istanbul premium fares
Turkish operates nonstop from New York, Newark, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston, LA, San Francisco and Seattle, more US gateways than any other European or Middle Eastern carrier. Onboard chefs, full meal service on every leg and the Lounge Istanbul's legendary spread make it the strongest soft product to Europe's edge.
Advisor plays: Istanbul is also the smart one-stop gateway to the Middle East, Central Asia and East Africa, and through-fares over IST often beat Gulf routings on price. Shoulder seasons, March-May and October-November, are the sweet spot; summer carries the corridor's structural premium.
