Madagascar: €1,712 Turkish Airlines Business Class from Budapest

Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines is offering a business class deal from Budapest to Madagascar starting at €1,712 (~HUF 664,462). Departures are scattered between January to August 2026.

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 with Skyscanner, as they sell these tickets up to €70 cheaper.

First, you will fly on a Turkish Airlines Airbus A320 family aircraft in a 2-2 configuration with recliner seats, which is superior to most European business class products. For your intercontinental journey, this route will be operated by a Boeing 787 or an Airbus A350, both in a 1-2-1 configuration. This flight includes a one-hour technical stop in Mauritius each way.

Search & Book

This deal has no expiration date, but a minimum stay of three days or a Saturday overnight stay, and a maximum stay of twelve months apply. Departures are scattered between January to August 2026.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Turkish Airlines’ website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

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.

Miles & Points

The deal is issued by Turkish Airlines in booking class J. Here are the points and miles you could earn:

Information & Tips for Madagascar

Madagascar offers unique attractions like the Avenue of the Baobabs, the otherworldly Tsingy de Bemaraha stone forest, and diverse national parks such as Andasibe-Mantadia, home to the indri lemur. The local currency is the Malagasy ariary (MGA), and while prices are generally low by Western standards, costs can rise for guided tours or remote travel. The island has a tropical climate—hot and rainy from November to April, and cooler and drier from May to October, which is the preferred travel season.

Getting around Madagascar can be challenging due to its underdeveloped transport infrastructure. Within cities, options are limited to crowded minibuses (taxi-be) and taxis, which vary in reliability. Between cities, roads are often in poor condition, and travel can be slow—especially during the rainy season. Domestic flights exist but are expensive and sometimes unreliable. Most longer trips require planning and patience.
