Turkish Airlines

Flying to more countries than any other airline, Turkish Airlines operates more than 1,200 daily flights from its mega hub at Istanbul Airport (IST). Headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, the carrier has won numerous awards including Best Airline in Europe and holds a 4-Star Skytrax rating for its exceptional service and expansive route network. As a member of the Star Alliance, Turkish Airlines is a top choice for global travelers booking premium cabins.

Although Turkish does not offer international first class, its international business class is consistently ranked among the best. Long-haul aircraft like the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350 offer lie-flat seats with a middle divider, gourmet meals prepared by onboard chefs, and privacy-enhancing design. Passengers enjoy access to the flagship Turkish Airlines Business Lounge at IST—one of the world’s largest, featuring a cinema, shower suites, and a full-service buffet.
