How the price of this flight is built.
Almost everything you pay is decided by no one on our side. Airport charges, navigation fees, taxes, handling and fuel are set by the airport operators, Eurocontrol, the state and the market: they are the same for anyone booking this flight, and they change with the airport and with the season. That is why we do not publish a price list — we build the price on this route, and show you where every item comes from.

Which aircraft does Istanbul to Zermatt need?
The number of people decides it, and above all the luggage: skis, ski bags and large suitcases choose the aircraft category before the seats do. In the quote you enter the luggage and the form only proposes the categories that carry it.
How do you get to Zermatt after landing?
The jet lands at Sion (LSGS); from there to Zermatt you continue by helicopter. It is a service with its own operator and a separate line in the quote; helicopter times in the mountains are indicative, because the flight follows the valleys.
Can I fly Istanbul to Zermatt on an empty leg?
Sometimes. An empty leg is an aircraft repositioning without passengers: it costs less, but the date, time and airports are the aircraft's, not yours. We cannot promise one on this route; if one comes up that fits your dates, we tell you in the quote.
