Antalya Airport (AYT)
Most flights that mean Antalya land at Antalya Airport (AYT). Transfers reach Lara, Kaleiçi, Konyaaltı, Belek and Side; partner searches should mean AYT — confirm the code on the ticket.
Combining with Istanbul (IST/SAW) is usually a deliberate domestic hop or separate city nights — not a same-day trick with resort bags.
Non-stop from Europe versus a connection
From the UK and much of western Europe, Antalya is a routine leisure non-stop in season. A stop via Istanbul seldom helps a resort week unless city nights are part of the plan.
Airlines on this route
easyJet, SunExpress, Pegasus, TUI and others commonly appear. Prefer AYT for an Antalya stay.
Season, packages and the last mile
Demand spikes around Easter, summer school holidays and festive weekends. Shoulder months often soften. Lara is the short transfer; Belek and Side take longer coaches.
Then use the Antalya stays guide. Confirm AYT before you lock a non-refundable room. Wider shape: Turkey planning hub.
