What is Turkish Airlines Child Discount?

Turkish Airlines provides child discounts for passengers between the ages of 2 and 11 years. Children belonging to this age group must occupy their own seats. They cannot travel on the lap of an adult. They may get a 10% discount on domestic flights depending on the selected class of travel. Children typically receive up to 25% discount on Turkish Airlines international flights although the exact amount can vary based on the route and fare rules.

For infants under 2 years old who do not require a separate seat, Turkish Airlines generally charges 10% of the adult fare on international routes.

Once a child turns 12, they are considered an adult for fare purposes and are no longer eligible for child discounts. They may qualify for the Turkish Airlines student discount instead.

What is the Process of Turkish Airlines Child Discount?

While booking your flight tickets, you must enter the child’s age correctly to on the Turkish Airlines website or app. Here’s how you can get Turkish Airlines child discount:

1.      Go to the Turkish Airlines homepage.

2.      Select your flight route and dates.            

3.      Under the passenger count, choose the number of adults, children (2–11) and infants (under 2).

4.      The system automatically calculates the applicable child or infant discount and shows it in the fare breakdown.

You don’t need a special promo code—the discount is built into the fare once the age is entered correctly.

What if Turkish Airlines Child Discount Isn't Visible During Booking?

Sometimes the discount might not be visible upfront, especially for complex itineraries or special fares. If that happens:

·         Call Turkish Airlines customer service. They can manually check the fare and apply the correct discount.

·         Visit a Turkish Airlines ticket office. This is a more reliable option if you are booking international or multi-city flights.

·         Use a travel agent. Some agents can access child fares not shown online and may help secure a better deal. You can also call us at +1-844-868-8303 for any help. 

Can I Use Miles or Points for Turkish Airlines Child Tickets?

If you’re a member of the Miles&Smiles frequent flyer program, you can definitely use your miles to book Turkish Airlines child tickets. The number of miles required is generally the same as for adults but taxes and fees for infants and children may be lower.

Turkish Airlines also runs promotional fares that already include deep discounts and, in these cases, the child fare may be the same as or even more expensive than the adult fare. If this happens, compare the regular and promo fares to see what makes more sense.

What Documents are needed when traveling with a child?

When flying with children on Turkish Airlines, make sure you have:

·         A valid passport or ID for the child (depending on the route).

·         A birth certificate or official proof of age especially for infants.               

·         Parental consent documentation if one parent is traveling alone.

Final Tips

·         Book early. Turkish Airlines child discounts can be more limited closer to departure.                 

·         Double-check baggage allowances for kids. Infants usually get less or no checked baggage, while children often get the same as adults.

·         Use the Turkish Airlines app or website to manage your booking and check rules for each specific route.
