With the launch of a new route, easyJet now connects travelers from Bristol Airport directly to Istanbul, offering a convenient way for passengers from South West England to reach Turkey’s largest city. Flights on this route will run twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, year-round, allowing for both short getaways and extended trips. This addition positions easyJet as the only airline currently offering direct flights from Bristol to Istanbul, enhancing travel options in the region.

Istanbul, a city where East meets West, has long been a popular destination for its cultural and historical depth. By providing affordable flights, easyJet is making Istanbul more accessible for those looking to experience Turkey’s rich history and dynamic atmosphere. Tickets are available at competitive prices, offering an economical travel option for those departing from Bristol.

For travelers looking to immerse themselves in Istanbul's heritage, iconic landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the sprawling Grand Bazaar await. Each location offers a glimpse into Istanbul’s layered history, from its Byzantine and Ottoman influences to its modern-day vibrancy. The city also boasts a range of museums, markets, and ancient sites, making it a draw for history enthusiasts and cultural explorers alike.

Beyond the famous historical sites, Istanbul’s neighborhoods like Beyoğlu and Kadıköy offer a more contemporary side to the city. With lively cafes, art galleries, and trendy shops, these districts give visitors a taste of Istanbul's evolving urban scene. The city’s vibrant culinary landscape, from traditional Turkish dishes to fusion cuisine, adds another layer to the experience, ensuring a well-rounded adventure for all types of travelers.

This route launch is a promising development for travelers, particularly those in South West England, who now have easier access to Istanbul's many offerings. The addition of Istanbul to easyJet’s roster opens up not only Turkey but also provides access to onward flights to destinations in Asia and the Middle East, making it a strategic starting point for international journeys.

With the appeal of Istanbul’s mix of heritage and modernity, this new route from Bristol provides travelers with a unique opportunity to discover one of the world’s most captivating cities with ease and flexibility, expanding their travel horizons.
