Turkish Airways launches deal on business-class tickets to Spain


Turkish Airlines is joining the growing list of carriers offering steep discounts on business-class travel to Europe. Right now, you can book business-class seats from major West Coast departure cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco to iconic Spanish destinations like Barcelona and Madrid for less than $2,600 round-trip.

The travel window for this sale runs from November through March of 2025 — if you want to spend Thanksgiving in Spain, the sale includes the holiday. The flights all involve layovers in Istanbul, with some options including stops as long as 17 hours. The good news is almost every itinerary we saw involved an individual business-class suite for the longest portion of the flight. If you book this deal, you may want to consider planning a daytrip in Istanbul to get the most out of a potentially long stop in one of the world’s most exciting and historic cities.

Airlines: Turkish Airlines

Routes: Round-trip business-class flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Barcelona and Madrid

How to book: Browse Google Flights, then book directly with the airline

Travel dates: From November through March 2025 (Thanksgiving holiday included)

Sample flights

We found flights in November from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) for as low as $2,809 round-trip. That’s an excellent price for business class, especially considering you’re getting an individual suite for the journey from LAX to Istanbul Airport (IST).

Bottom line

Not all business-class cabins are created equal, so remember to check the model of the airplane that will be flown on the routes you’re interested in. Most options we saw in this deal are for business-class suites, and Turkish Airlines is still in the process of updating its business-class product. However, the carrier does have a reputation for serving the best on-board catering in the industry, so you’ll be in for a culinary treat if you book this deal.
