Turkish Airlines was founded on May 20, 1933. It is Turkey's flagship carrier. It is headquartered at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, Yeşilköy, Istanbul, Turkey. The main hub of the airline is Istanbul Airport. Turkish Airlines operates scheduled domestic and international flights to Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. In addition, the airline flies to 120 countries, more than any other airline. In total, Turkish Airlines serves 331 routes. The company's fleet consists of 373 airplanes.
Fees and allowances vary by route, fare and status.
Baggage
Turkish Airlines Cabin Baggage (hand baggage) is defined as any baggage of 8 kg and 55 x 40 x 23 cm. On routes with piece baggage concept, the maximum weight of 1 piece of baggage is 23 kg for Economy Class and 32 kg for Business Class. Infant passengers are entitled to a piece of baggage weighing 10 kg on each flight and 23 kg on flights under the piece baggage application. Additionally, strollers that do not exceed 115 cm are allowed on all flights. Child passengers have the same amount of baggage allowance as adult passengers.
Turkish Airlines allows dogs, cats, and small birds (goldfinches, budgies, and canaries) to travel in the cabin, as long as the combined weight of the pet and carrier doesn't exceed 17 lbs (8 kg). Turkish Airlines require passengers traveling with pets to be approved a minimum of 6 hours prior to departure. Pets who exceed the weight limits to travel in the cabin may qualify for transport in the hold instead. For pets traveling in the cabin, carriers shouldn't exceed the dimensions 23 cm height x 30 cm width x 40 cm length.
Infants are defined as children under two years of age. Children up to 2 years old (24 months), are not required to have their own Turkish Airlines seat. Only one lap child is allowed per adult. If one adult is traveling with more than one infant under two years of age, a seat will have to be purchased for each additional infant.
Turkish Airlines online check-in is normally available from 24 hours until 90 minutes before departure, subject to airport and flight eligibility. Online check-in does not replace baggage drop or document checks. Airport deadlines differ between domestic and international flights and may vary by airport. Follow the check-in, baggage drop and boarding times provided for your specific flight.
Turkish Airlines children aged seven to under twelve may travel using the unaccompanied minor process with written authorisation from a parent or legal representative. Younger children require different accompaniment arrangements and cannot be treated as ordinary unaccompanied minors. Confirm eligibility, forms, guardian handover and the requested service directly with Turkish Airlines before booking.
