How the journey works
Idlib has no working commercial airport, and the practical way in is southern Turkey: a flight to Gaziantep or Hatay and an onward crossing. Which crossing is usable, and by whom, changes — so this is a route we plan with you by phone rather than one we quote blind from a form.
The fare
For Idlib the cheapest ticket is the one that actually gets you there. We will tell you plainly if a plan will not work, which is worth more than a low number attached to a journey you cannot complete.
When to travel
Mild wet winters and hot dry summers. Flights into southern Turkey are cheapest in late autumn and early spring, well outside the summer and holiday peaks.

Questions and answers
Can I book a flight to Idlib?
Not to Idlib itself. What we book is the flight to southern Turkey; the crossing depends on your papers and on what is open. We would rather say that than sell you a ticket and leave you to discover it.
Gaziantep or Hatay?
Gaziantep has more flights from Germany and more competition on price; Hatay is closer to some crossings. We look at both against your dates and your destination inside the governorate.
