The Stopover in Istanbul program offers Turkish Airlines passengers free accommodation in the airline’s partner hotels, providing a worry-free chance to explore the city.

The accommodation service within this program is also available to passengers whose journeys originate from an airport in Romania. They can benefit from the program once during a round-trip flight, either on the outbound or return leg.

Those wishing to use the service on the return leg must ensure that the country of the departure flight is on the list of countries included in the program, available HERE (in the Countries Included in the Stopover Service section, click on More information). In this section, you will also find that each country has a dedicated email address where you can send your reservation request.

Passengers traveling from one international destination to another international destination, with a layover at Istanbul Airport of at least 20 hours and a maximum of 7 days, are eligible for free accommodation in Istanbul.

Passengers receive free accommodation, including breakfast, in partner hotels in Istanbul. Economy Class passengers are entitled to 1 night of accommodation in a 4-star hotel, while Business Class passengers are entitled to 2 nights in a 5-star or boutique hotel.

Once the ticket issuance process is complete, you must send your request at least 72 hours before the flight preceding the accommodation. To apply, visit the dedicated Stopover page and choose one of two options:

1. In the dedicated box, enter your ticket number or reservation code (PNR) and your surname;
2. Send the request to the Stopover email address corresponding to your country of departure.

Have a pleasant journey!
