Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan: Starting at €310 From all Over Europe With Turkish Airlines (With Luggage)

Turkish Airlines Start Istanbul

Turkish Airlines is offering cheap flights from various European cities to one of the rather more exotic destinations: Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Prices start at €310 and include 30 kg of luggage. Availability is high starting April, except during the summer vacation.

Update

This deal has been extended

Info

Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.

A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.

We found cheap flights from the following cities:

First, you would fly to Istanbul, from where a Boeing 737 would fly you to Bishkek. The layover times are usually quite ideal. Also, you can expect to get free food and drinks on all your segments.

Warning

We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.

Search & Book

This price is so low thanks to Turkish Airlines’ 40% discount sale. That sale ends on February 7, 2021, so you’ll have to be quite quick. The prices are low starting April, with the exception of the summer vacation.

Flying from Brussels seems to be the cheapest option

To find the available dates that suit you best, simply use Google Flights, and then book directly on Turkish Airlines’ website. You can also use our flight search above, which redirects you to Turkish Airlines’ booking site.

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.

Mileage

The cheapest tickets are issued in booking class V. A roundtrip starting in Brussels would roughly get you:

    Schönes Land, ist eine Reise wert. Klar, in Sachen Politik bräuchte man eine Glaskugel. Es gab ja durchaus schon nicht ganz unblutige Unruhen.
