✈️ Exclusive Discounts for Disabled Passengers

Turkish Airlines is one of the few airlines in the world offering discounted fares to disabled passengers. That’s right! If you’re eligible, you can save 25% on domestic flights within Turkey and 20% on international flights departing from Turkey. It’s never been easier—or more affordable—to explore new destinations!

‍

🛂 Who Can Get the Discount?

To qualify, you’ll need to provide proof of your disability. Here’s what’s accepted:

• Turkish citizens: A disability identity card from the General Directorate of Disabled and Elderly Services or a medical report from a Turkish state hospital indicating at least 40% disability.
• Non-Turkish citizens: A disability certificate from your home country. Good news—National Disability Card holders have successfully used their cards to secure the discount!

‍

🤝 Can My Carer Get a Discount Too?

Yes! If you require a carer when travelling—such as for visual, hearing, or mental disabilities, or if you need assistance with personal care—your carer can also enjoy the same discounted fare.

‍

🛫 How to Book Your Discounted Flight

Here’s what you need to know when booking:

• For Turkish citizens: You can book online by creating a free Miles&Smiles account with Turkish Airlines and uploading proof of your disability (like your National Disability Card if you’re a UK resident).
• For non-Turkish citizens: You’ll need to book in person at a Turkish Airlines airport sales office. Yes, it means an extra trip to the airport, but with some planning, you’ll soon be set for take-off!

‍

The airline has sales offices at the following airports:

• Birmingham Airport
• Edinburgh Airport
• Manchester Airport
• Heathrow
• Gatwick
• Stansted

‍

Don’t forget to bring your proof of eligibility—such as your National Disability Card—when booking in person.
