Turkish Airlines will extend its branded fare structure to cover travel from Australia and New Zealand via Türkiye to its onward international network this month.
The move means Aussie travellers connecting through Istanbul to the airline’s wider network will now book from the same structured range of fare types.
The change takes effect for tickets issued on or after 22 July 2026, with the fares already loaded into the reservation system.
This is the second phase of the initiative. The first phase applied branded fares to travel from Australia and New Zealand to Türkiye itself; phase two opens the same framework up to onward international travel via the Istanbul hub.
What are the new fare types?
Economy Class carries four fare types: Ecofly, Extrafly, Flexfly and Primefly. Business Class carries two: Businessfly and Businessprime.
Each tier attaches its own conditions and benefits, from the entry-level Ecofly through to the more flexible Primefly and the two premium business options.
What it means for booking
The structure is designed to give travellers greater flexibility, clearer fare conditions and more tailored options when booking connections beyond Türkiye.
For travel advisors, it means the same fare-tier logic now runs across both the Türkiye leg and the onward journey, aligning how fares are quoted and compared through the Istanbul hub.
Turkish Airlines currently flies to Melbourne and Sydney, via Kuala Lumpur, from its Istanbul base.
In April, the flag carrier was named one of the top five most emissions-efficient large airlines (by total seat capacity). Read more about that here.
KARRYON UNPACKS: With Türkiye a busy connection point for Australians bound for the UK and Europe, aligning the fare menu across the whole journey gives travel advisors a cleaner way to match fare conditions to a client’s need for flexibility. The six tiers, four in economy and two in business, make the trade-offs between price and flexibility easier to explain at the point of sale.
