Mexico City: €1,792 Turkish Airlines Business Class from Dublin

Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines has issued an interesting fare for flights from Dublin to Mexico City. Business Class roundtrips are currently on sale for less than €2,000 – and while the routing via Istanbul is a bit whacky, it comes with three major upsides.

Firstly, Turkish Airlines has a decent short-haul business class product with recliner seats in a 2-2 pattern, making the journey between Dublin and Istanbul more comfortable than the ordinary European business class experience. Secondly, flights to Mexico are operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft, with a state-of-the-art business class product, not their outdated Turkish’s Airbus A330 or Boeing 777 product. And last but not least, the long travel distance makes it a decent Mileage Run – earning you more than half of the miles required for Miles&Smiles Elite.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Turkish Airlines with your selected flight dates. You can also check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €60 cheaper.

All itineraries include a change of planes in Istanbul both ways. The in-bound flight from Mexico City has a refuelling stop in Cancun. The long-haul flights features Turkish Airline’s newest business class product, with lie-flat-seats in a 1-2-1 seating pattern. Flights between Ireland and Turkey see you seated in a recliner seat with extra-legroom, personal video screens and superb catering.

Search & Book

The fare rules for this date gave no sales period nor a travel period. There is also no minimum stay. It shows very good availability throughout the entire year, with the summer holidays being the lone exception. You can add a stopover in Istanbul for free both ways. Turkish Airlines actively offers such connections when searching for flights.

Google Flights helps you find additional flight dates. While tickets distributed by OTAs are offered at a lower price on Skyscanner, we still recommend paying a little more for extra-security by booking directly on Turkish Airlines’ website.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
