Cached-fare history: across 11 months, Sep is the cheapest for IST → SEZ. Best time to be there: Apr–May · Oct–Nov.
Fares bottom out in September around $739 and peak in July near $1,016 — a $277 spread across the 11 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 11 hours outbound, on a 10-night trip — ticketed under Pegasus, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $739 for 5,751 km each way, that works out to about $64 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $39 typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 11 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Seychelles, this fare ranks 2nd — 32% above the $558 from Delhi. For context, the middle fare among the 7 routes of similar length we watch out of Istanbul is $525.

Is $739 a good price for Istanbul to Seychelles?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $855 round-trip and this fare is 14% under it, about $116. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Istanbul to Seychelles?
Across 11 months of cached-fare history, Sep comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Seychelles are Apr–May · Oct–Nov — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book IST → Seychelles?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 11 months of cached fares, Sep comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Istanbul to Seychelles?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Pegasus. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). 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.
