When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in October around $178 and peak in July near $378, 112% dearer, across the 8 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Pegasus nonstop and takes about 4.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip. At $216 for 2,955 km each way, that works out to about $37 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $43 per 1,000 km typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 9 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Istanbul, this fare ranks 8th — 2.1× the $103 we hold from London. Across the 8 months of prices we hold for this route the typical fare is $200, so at $216 this one is $16 above it — no discount to claim here. The best time to be in Istanbul: Apr–May · Sep–Oct.

Good to know
DUB → IST, answered.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Dublin to Istanbul?
Across 8 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Istanbul are Apr–May · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book DUB → Istanbul?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 8 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Dublin to Istanbul?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Pegasus). The outbound leg runs around 4.5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
