A layover like no other
Spanning Europe and Asia, İstanbul is home to 15 million people and labyrinthine layers of history. It is also uniquely positioned with İstanbul Airport, the base of Turkish Airlines, one of the world’s busiest with more than 84 million annual passengers.

For those with a layover of 20 hours or more, the flag carrier’s Stopover in İstanbul programme provides a complimentary hotel stay in the city. It is a great way to soak up İstanbul’s singular buzz. Explore the historic peninsula, including the famous Topkapi Palace, then cross the Galata Bridge to the vibrant İstiklal Avenue.

The Pera district has great places for a full Turkish breakfast spread while dinner is best served in the genteel waterfront neighbourhood of Bebek as you watch the captivating Bosphorus.

3.
Comfortable start
Every holiday begins with a journey, and Turkish Airlines ensures a relaxing passage from the off. The premium international lounge of Turkish Airlines is free to all business and some transfer passengers. Lounge services include a workspace and entertainment centres, while Turkish and global cuisine is served 24 hours at live cooking stations. Business transfers can use the suites with a bedroom and private shower, perfect for a brief layover.

A chauffeur-driven car is a thrilling way to enter İstanbul, weaving down Gothamesque highways, before catching a first glimpse of the Bosphorus strait. Your driver will take you to your hotel door, navigating skilfully through İstanbul’s ancient streets. Exclusive Drive is also available to business passengers arriving at all Turkish Airlines terminals in the US and Canada.

4.
Arrival in style
The journey needn’t end when you disembark the aircraft either. Business passengers can enjoy Exclusive Drive, a complimentary premium chauffeur service to the city centre. You’ll see why the airport is repeatedly named the world’s best as you transit through its sleek, light terminal.

5.
A class apart
Turkish Airlines Business passengers enjoy an elite level of hospitality from check-in to boarding gate. Fast tracks whisk you from Istanbul Airport’s impressive lobby and straight through security to the Business Lounge. A shuttle service then runs you to priority boarding.

Onboard, your business-class berth provides a sanctuary in the sky with reading light and privacy screen. Clever touches elevate the space, including a cocktail table and a fully reclinable seat with a massage function. A thoughtfully crafted Lanvin amenity kit serves as both an onboard treat and a stylish memento.

6.
Taste for the high life
On Turkish Airlines, small touches further elevate the meals at altitude. Dressed in crisp whites, flying chefs prepare and serve à la carte orders in business class at your convenience, independent of fixed service times. Monthly-changing menus include food rarely seen on aircraft, including handmade ravioli, poached eggs and lamb kebabs, all presented on stylish serving sets. Luxury dining carts reminiscent of five-star hotels add an extra sense of theatre.

7.
Immersive travel
Onboard entertainment in a Turkish Airlines business-class cabin starts with exceptional sound. On selected long-haul flights, noise-canceling Denon headphones connect to an 18-inch high-resolution screen, ensuring complete immersion even at high altitudes.

Choose from more than 1,000 films, including Hollywood classics, new releases and the best of Turkish and international cinema. You can also explore more than 2,500 TV titles, including must-see series from HBO and Discovery, as well as music and games. A complimentary 1GB of access to the onboard wi-fi also allows you to keep up with life and work back on the ground.

Thinking about the future
Sustainability is embedded in every part of Turkish Airlines’ operations, from booking and ground handling to the flight itself. The company aims to become carbon neutral by 2050, and it is focusing efforts on three areas to achieve this ambition: fuel transformation, fleet modernisation and operational efficiency.

The aim is to “embed a mindset of ‘the right plan and the right execution’ into our corporate culture, on every flight,” says Levent Konukcu, Turkish Airlines chief investment and strategy officer. In practice that means careful coordination at every stage of the business to ensure minimum waste and maximum efficiency, using data to drive decision-making, while constantly refining and reviewing planning processes. It also means ensuring that aircraft are up to date. With an average age of just 9.9 years in 2025, Turkish Airlines has one of the youngest fleets in the industry.

“Sustainability means taking responsibility for the long-term impact of today’s decisions while continuing to grow in a measured and accountable way,” says Konukcu. Turkish Airlines passengers can even offset the carbon footprint of their journeys via opportunities to invest in social and environmental programmes.

10.
Ever-expanding reach
When you trust an airline and enjoy the experience, it is tempting to never fly with anyone else. Reassuringly Turkish Airlines connects to 356 airports on six continents – and that map is always expanding.

Each new destination opens under-explored parts of the world to savvy travellers. In December 2025, the flag carrier launched its latest route: İstanbul to Phnom Penh, the buzzing Cambodian capital. It relaunched routes to Damascus, Syria’s ancient capital, and Sulaymaniyah in northern Iraq, a perfect base to explore the region’s hiking routes.

All new routes are served by an expanding fleet, with a target of more than 800 aircraft in service by 2033 – the airline’s centenary year – and 1,000 aircraft by 2036 so, wherever your journey begins and ends, Turkish Airlines can take you there.
