Fare Desk notes
Today's one-way fare of €120 is not a good one by our own history. It is only cheaper than 19% of the fares we have logged, matches the median €120, and sits well above the lowest observed €74.
Our data show that booking 42 to 55 days ahead typically yields €102, which saves €18 compared with last-minute pricing. October is the cheapest departure month in our sample, with a typical €120 from 56 observations; November’s median is €122 from 49 observations and September’s is €136 from 9 observations. The return leg from Istanbul to Aberdeen is currently €113, versus a typical €129. We have seen the typical fare rise to €136 in September, indicating seasonal pressure. Given these patterns, we advise waiting for a lower fare rather than purchasing today.
