How the journey works
Istanbul is the easiest destination on this list: direct from almost every German airport, several times a day, on both full-service and low-cost carriers. It is also the connection point for most of the other cities here, so the fare we find you to Istanbul often decides the fare for the whole trip.
The fare
Turkey is the fourth route we quote hardest on. With this much competition the difference is in knowing which carrier is cheap in which month — and in the baggage, where a low headline fare is very often undone.
When to travel
Spring and autumn are the best weather and the best value. Summer is peak in both directions, and winter fares from Germany fall a long way for anyone who does not mind the cold.
