How to get the best deal on a Mogadishu — Istanbul ticket

  • Book your flights at least 8–10 weeks before departure; due to the low flight frequency (only once a week), affordable seats sell out very quickly.
  • Prioritize direct flights operated by Turkish Airlines to save travel time and avoid additional costs associated with long layovers.
  • Be sure to use the low-fare calendar on this page, as moving your departure date to the following week can save you AED 201 or more.
  • Check baggage allowances in advance: international flights from Somalia often have strict restrictions, and paying for excess weight at the airport is significantly more expensive than buying it online.
