All itineraries feature two stops: one in Istanbul and one in Asia, mostly in Kuala Lumpur. First, you will take a feeder flight to Istanbul; in most cases, you will fly on a Boeing 737 with a 3-3 configuration. However, some flights may be operated to the Turkish metropolis with widebody aircraft, often using their Airbus A330 with a 2-4-2 configuration. The second flight takes you from Istanbul to Kuala Lumpur on a Boeing 777-300ER or Airbus A350-900. Thankfully, Turkish Airlines still uses a 3-3-3 seating arrangement on these planes.
The 7 to 8-hour flights between Kuala Lumpur and Adelaide are operated by Malaysian Airways on their Airbus A350-900 Neo with a 2-4-2 configuration. Some itineraries may have a stop in Singapore or Bangkok instead of Kuala Lumpur.
Most Europeans need a visa to enter Australia. You can apply for the visa online. It’s best to apply at least 1 month before travelling. The visa is free.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, these tickets are available without a travel or sales period. A minimum stay of six days is necessary to get the lowest fare. Departures are available from April through June and from September to November, with most departures in November.
Google Flights helps you find additional flight dates and other origins. While you may find flights on Turkish Airlines’ website, tickets are also sold by online travel agencies. Some tickets are cheaper when buying them from OTAs than the prices displayed by Google Flights, but Turkish Airlines offers the cheapest tickets in most cases.
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.
Editor’s Note: While there are itineraries to Australia that feature only one stop – changing planes twice on the long way down under is not a bad thing. It gives you more opportunity to stretch your legs and get blood circulation going. Even the shorter European flights give you and long-haul worthy experience with Turkish Airlines, and the price is excellent.

Information & Tips for Adelaide
Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is known for its compact city center, easy access to wine regions like Barossa Valley, and attractions such as the Adelaide Central Market, Botanic Gardens, and nearby beaches. The currency is the Australian dollar (AUD), and prices are generally moderate to high compared to many other destinations, especially for dining and accommodation. The city has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, so packing depends on the season of travel.
