London to Antalya flights

When fares to Antalya are lowest

Fares are usually lowest outside Easter, May half term, the July and August school holidays and October half term. The live fare calendar on this page shows this month's lowest fares, and the Slashtel Fare Index puts the next three months against the route's usual monthly fare, where 100 is usual and 85 or under is a good time to book.

The fare calendar covers 12 months, so you can compare your travel dates against quieter weeks before you commit. If your dates are fixed to school breaks, book early rather than waiting for a drop.

To use the route tools:

1. Open the live fare calendar for your travel month.
2. Check the Slashtel Fare Index for the next three months.
3. If the index is 85 or under, book while the fare is low.
4. If your dates fall in a busy week, set an alert instead of checking daily.

Direct flights and airlines on the route

Jet2, SunExpress and easyJet fly nonstop from London to Antalya International Airport (AYT). Pegasus also appears in our fare checks with a stop, and some of these are self transfer routes on separate tickets, which carry risk if a flight is delayed.

Nonstop flights are the simplest option for the Turkish Riviera, whether you are heading to the beaches, the old town or resorts along the coast. Compare departure times across the three nonstop airlines to fit your transfer or hotel check in.

If a Pegasus fare looks low, read the itinerary carefully. A self transfer means you collect bags and check in again, and a delay on the first flight can affect the second ticket.

Busy weeks on the London to Antalya route

Easter, May half term, the UK school summer holidays in July and August and October half term are the busiest weeks on this route. Fares rise when London families travel together, so these dates need early booking or a price alert.

Summer is the peak stretch for Antalya and the Turkish Riviera, and the July and August school holidays fill nonstop seats quickly. October half term stays warm and stays busy, so treat it like summer when you plan.

May half term and Easter are shorter windows, but they still push fares up. If you can travel in the quieter weeks between these periods, the fare calendar will usually show lower fares.

Arriving in Antalya: phone, data and entry

Turkey is 3 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 2 hours ahead in British Summer Time, so set your phone clock on landing. Turkcell, Vodafone and Türk Telekom run the mobile networks, with 4G and 5G in some areas. Check the official entry rules for your passport before you fly.

Buy a travel eSIM or a mobile top up before you leave London so you have data for maps and transfers at Antalya International Airport. Coverage is 4G across the networks, with 5G in some areas, so check your eSIM covers the Turkish Riviera resorts you plan to visit.

Entry rules depend on your passport. Check the official rules for your passport before you fly, and allow time at the airport for passport checks in busy weeks.

How to get a price alert for your dates

We check fares every day and email when they fall well under the usual price for your dates or under your own target. Set a target once and let the alerts do the work, which suits families tied to Easter, half term or the summer holidays.

Choose your dates and the fare you would happily pay. We watch the route daily and only email when there is a real drop, so you are not refreshing the fare calendar every morning.

Use the Slashtel Fare Index alongside your alert. If the index sits at 85 or under, it is a good time to book, and your alert will confirm when a fare falls under your own target.
