Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines is currently offering flights from Dublin to Singapore starting at just €530. The price includes a luggage allowance of 30 kilos and Turkish Airlines’ popular catering. Trips are available between January to May 2024.
Students (details in our Turkish Airlines student fare article) can book this fare on TK’s website for €542 while getting an additional 10 kilos of luggage allowance and more favorable refund and rebooking conditions.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to the Travel-Dealz.com flight search with your selected flight dates. You can also check Turkish Airlines’ website which offers these flights for €28 more.
Your flights between Dublin and Istanbul will be operated by either their narrowbody Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 family fleet (3-3 configuration) or their Airbus A330s (2-4-2 configuration). Between Istanbul and Singapore, you can expect to fly a Boeing 787 Dreamliner equipped with a 3-3-3 configuration.
Up to your preference, you can select a short (~2 hours) or long (~7-8 hours daytime with TourIstanbul) layover in Istanbul.
Search & Book
The fare rules do not state how long this fare will remain valid. There is a minimum stay of 3 nights or a Saturday night and a maximum stay of 12 months. The travel period is from January to May 2024.
You can use our calendar above that will show you availabilities. Once you select your dates, it will forward you to either the Travel-Dealz Flight Search or Turkish Airlines’ website with your preselected flight dates. With all its disadvantages, it may be worth it to book through online travel agencies (OTAs), since they offer prices of up to €28 cheaper. You can also search more specifically on Google Flights (instructions) for example by setting filters. You can then use our Go2 browser extension to book your flights.
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.
