Tips to Buy Train Tickets
  • Book early for more choice
    TCDD usually releases high-speed YHT and intercity timetables well in advance. Booking your Turkey train tickets early helps you secure better seat options and preferred departure times, especially on busy routes like Istanbul to Ankara or Konya, weekends, and public holidays.
  • Stay flexible with your dates
    If you can travel a day earlier or later, you’ll often find more departures and better prices. Being flexible with your travel dates and times makes it easier to avoid sold-out trains and gives you a wider choice of seats and classes.
  • Travel outside peak times
    Journeys on weekdays and non-holiday periods tend to be quieter and can sometimes be cheaper. Travelling outside the morning and evening rush makes boarding smoother, helps you avoid crowds, and creates a more relaxed experience onboard.
  • Compare classes and ticket types
    On many Turkish routes you can choose between different classes, from standard seats to more spacious business-style carriages. Take a moment to compare options and fares before you book, so you can balance comfort and budget for each leg of your trip.
  • Watch for deals and online offers
    Check platforms like Rail.Ninja and official TCDD information for occasional promotions or advance-purchase savings on selected routes. Booking online not only secures your seat but can also give you access to special offers that may not be available at the station.
