Frequently Asked Questions
Why direct flights from both cities instead of a geographic midpoint?

Any destination on this page works as a meet-in-the-middle point: both Istanbul and Sydney have a direct flight to it, so you arrive in the same place without changing planes. Open the finder to see every shared date, sorted by weather and combined flight cost.
How are the destinations ranked?
