EntertainmentHygieneComfortThe journey from Paris to Istanbul was wonderful. The price was, in my opinion, good value and worthwhile compared to other airlines. The staff were very friendly, helpful and extremely respectful of your guests. They always had a big smile on their faces and handled the requests and concerns of their passengers with great interest. I also arrived in Istanbul on time, as the departure and landing took place according to schedule. The timetable was therefore adhered to. The catering was excellent, as the meal consisted of unique and delicious Turkish dishes. In addition, the air-conditioning was perfect and there were no temperature fluctuations. There was also the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking view through the windows. However, the films, series, music and games for entertainment were not up to date and I didn't have much choice. The hygiene conditions were unfortunately poor, as the toilets, composting toilets and seats were not clean and tidy. In addition, the seats were not cosy and comfortable. I had no legroom. But overall the trip was great because of the price, the catering and the excellent service!

Rude pilotThe journey from Paris to Istanbul was pleasant. The flight took off on time and my seat in Business Class was comfortable. I particularly liked the way the seats were furnished. The wifi was excellent, but there was no power socket. Food and drinks were often served. The aircraft and the WCs were clean and well maintained. The service was friendly and attentive. The price-performance ratio was reasonable, but the pilot was very unfriendly and annoyed.

HygienePunctualityVolumeThe flight from Paris to Istanbul was breathtaking. First of all, the price was inexpensive compared to other transport options. That impressed me a lot and that's why I bought the ticket. Moreover, the staff was very friendly, helpful and respectful towards their guests. With a big smile on their faces that radiated joy, they always dealt with my problems and concerns. I therefore felt very well looked after. The booking process was straightforward and simple. The seats were also very comfortable and cosy, which helped to make the journey relaxing. However, the hygiene conditions were sometimes poor, as the composting toilets and WCs were not well enough maintained, whereas the seats were. Unfortunately, I didn't land in Istanbul on time either. It turned out that the timetable had not really been adhered to. The noise level was not optimal. This also affected comfort. But all in all, the journey was great and worth recommending due to the price and the excellent service.

I also arrived in Istanbul on time and hygiene was well taken care of. The hygiene conditions were marvellous, as the toilets and seats were clean and hygienic. I didn't have to change planes as there was no need to change planes. However, it was very noisy on board, which is why I would categorise the time on board as annoying. Overall, however, I am happy with the journey!

In addition, the staff on board were very friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated. I also landed in Istanbul on time, which is an advantage.

What are the departure and arrival airports for flights from Paris to Istanbul?
Departure airport:Flights to Istanbul from Paris could depart from either Charles de Gaulle or Orly Airports. In both cases, taking the RER B overground rail link is a good route to the departure terminal. Trains run straight to CDG from central Paris. Those headed to Orly will need to alight at Orlyval Station, then catch a special shuttle bus to the airport itself. Additionally, there are low cost bus services from Le Bus Direct and Roissybus, with a variety of departure points located across central Paris. Expect transfer times to take 25-35 minutes by train, and 40-60 minutes by bus.
Arrival airport: Flights from Paris to Istanbul could arrive at either Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. Most flights arrive at the newly opened Istanbul Airport (also known as Ataturk). From there, the best public transport option is to take IETT or Havaist buses, which serve Sultanahmet and Gezi Park in the center of town. Those arriving at Sabiha Gokcen will be slightly further away from the city itself. They can catch Havabus services, which tend to take around 90 minutes - and taxis can be expected to take 70-80 minutes. So plan for fairly lengthy transfer durations.
