A seamless travel experience with additional services before the flight
More comfort: Seat selection
One of the most popular pre-flight services is seat selection. Most Turkish Airlines aircraft feature Economy Class seats with personal screens and charging facilities. You can enhance your flight even further by choosing a seat with extra legroom. If you’re traveling with an infant, you can request support from our teams at the airport and select a seat with access to an onboard bassinet. If you want even more legroom and you are able to assist in an emergency, you can request a seat in an emergency exit row.
Bring everything you need: Extra baggage
Whether you’re packing for a long trip or bringing lots of gifts for family and friends, having sufficient baggage allowance makes your trip less stressful. Our pre-flight services include the option to purchase extra baggage allowance, ensuring that your check-in process won’t include any last-minute surprises! You can easily purchase extra baggage allowance via the Turkish Airlines website or mobile application. For more information, see the extra baggage allowance page.
Don’t compromise on taste: Add-on menu
If you have special dietary requirements – or you just like to try new dishes – you can benefit from the additional menu pre-flight service offered in Economy Class on many flights. You can order an add-on menu through the Turkish Airlines website, mobile app or call centers, as well as travel agencies, up to 24 hours before your flight.
Change the mood of your trip: Cabin upgrade
Another additional pre-flight service is a cabin upgrade! You can upgrade your ticket from Economy to Business Class and enjoy unmatched comfort and high-level service, along with gourmet treats. For more information on upgrades and Business Class amenities, please click here.
Give yourself time: Hold the price
If you’ve found a ticket at the fare you want, but need more time to confirm your travel plans, you can select the ‘hold the price’ option, available through additional pre-flight services. For a fee, your fare is assured for up to 15 days, depending on the package you choose. Even better, the fee is refunded to you when you book the ticket. You can check all the details on this page.
Protect your journey: Travel insurance
You can consider getting travel insurance to feel safe at every moment of your trip. Thanks to travel insurance, you’ll have additional security in cases such as baggage loss and flight cancellation, as well as your health. You can also use travel insurance for visa procedures with peace of mind. You can click here for more information on travel insurance.
Make room for your hobbies: Sports equipment
Turkish Airlines additional services before the flight include sports equipment! Bring your sports equipment to your destination at special rates. If you’re traveling on an international flight, you can carry golf, mountaineering, cycling, canoeing, archery or other equipment for free on the first leg of the flight. You can find more details about transporting sports equipment here.
Add value to your time: Turkish Airlines Lounge
Let your next visit to the airport include some luxury. The comfortable Turkish Airlines Lounges feature gourmet treats and cozy resting areas, along with many other amenities. To take advantage of domestic and international lounges before your flight, just click here to make a reservation.
Ease of online application: E-Visa
