New York to Istanbul in business
- The route
- Turkish Airlines flies New York JFK to Istanbul nonstop at least twice a day — a midday and an evening departure, about ten hours eastbound.
- On board
- Turkish flies the 777-300ER, and some 787-9s, with a lie-flat business seat and its well-regarded onboard catering. No doors.
- When to go
- Istanbul is a hub in its own right: Turkish flies on to more countries than any other airline, so it suits trips onward to the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa. Spring and autumn are the peaks.
- At the airports
- Turkish is due to move to JFK’s New Terminal One, whose opening has slipped to November 2026 or later. In Istanbul, its Business Lounge is one of the largest airline lounges anywhere.
