TL;DR
For comfort, travelers in the discussion recommend Aeroflot or scheduled Turkish Airlines flights, with reclining seats, a choice of hot meals and free wine. Pegasus is chosen for price and connections; it serves no meals, only water. In summer 2026 participants warned that tour operators sometimes sell flights of the low-cost carrier Anadolu Jet under the Turkish Airlines name.
In October 2026 a participant compared options: scheduled flights with a stopover long enough to walk around Istanbul cost half as much as Aeroflot or even less. Last-minute charters, he said, can be cheaper than scheduled flights.
In October 2026 travelers wrote that on the Turkish airline Southwind, for the first time in many years, both their outbound and return flights left without delays, exactly at the times on the tickets.
In August 2026 a tour guide offered to book plane seats for tourists: about 10 euros (or dollars) with Southwind, and more with Turkish Airlines.
On Pegasus, a passenger wrote in August 2026 that the flights are fine, with no meals on board, only water. They even saw this as a plus — no fuss, you just sit down and fly. The planes are in good condition, and you can buy food on board or bring your own.
In July 2026 passengers described scheduled Turkish Airlines flights as comfortable: the seats recline, a choice of hot dinner is served and the flight attendants are friendly.
On scheduled Turkish Airlines flights, according to a participant, you can choose your meal not only on board but also in advance from five or six menu options. White and red wine are served free of charge.
In July 2026 a participant recommended flying only Aeroflot or Turkish Airlines. In his view, Pegasus works for itineraries with connections when price is what matters most, since it is cheaper.
When buying a package tour, check which carrier actually operates the flight. As participants wrote in July 2026, tour operators often sell flights of the low-cost carrier Anadolu Jet under the Turkish Airlines brand: the airline does belong to Turkish, but it is a low-cost carrier, not a scheduled Turkish Airlines flight.
