About the route
Istanbul is the busiest route from Moscow: up to 12 daily direct flights to both airports (IST and SAW) keep fares low even in season. It is also the best hub onward — Turkish Airlines connects Istanbul with 300+ cities.
Good to know
Russian citizens do not need a visa for Turkey: up to 60 days per visit and 90 days per half-year. Our concierge re-checks the rules before ticketing.
