Ninety-five dollars gets you to Istanbul in January, fog on the Bosphorus and all, while July and August ask for 50-70% more and a booking made 8 to 12 weeks earlier. Dubai to IST runs 3h 40m for around $140, Frankfurt is 3h 10m for $155, and London comes in at $175 for 3h 55m, so the maths favours whichever hub sits closest to your gate. A cost-of-living index around 43.8 means the savings continue once you land, with roughly USD 66 a day covering a proper dinner and a tram ride home. Just get that e-visa sorted before the terminal, because a facility opened in 2018 to eventually handle 200 million passengers a year moves quickly everywhere except immigration.
