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

  • Check departures for nearby dates using the low price calendar on this page — the price difference between weekdays and weekends can be significant.
  • If you plan to bring a lot of luggage, it is often more economical to choose a fare with included weight from Turkish Airlines or Saudi Arabian Airlines from the start, rather than paying for excess weight at the airport.
