What to pack
- A valid passport – UK and Irish citizens need one for Türkiye; check the current government travel advice.
- Loose clothes that open at the front: zip-up tops and shirts, nothing you pull over your head.
- Your regular medication in its original packaging.
- Recent test results, if the surgeon asked for them.
- A plug adapter: Türkiye uses two-pin European sockets (type F), not UK plugs.
Your flight home
- Book for the day after your last included night, on a flexible fare.
- Pick a nonstop flight even if it costs a little more: one fewer change matters after surgery.
- After body surgery, add a checked bag so you do not have to lift anything heavy.
- Keep your medication and the surgeon’s discharge letter in your hand luggage.

Yes: Turkish Airlines to Istanbul Airport and Pegasus to Sabiha Gökçen, year-round, about 4 hours. easyJet no longer operates the route.
Can I fly from Leeds or Liverpool instead?
Neither has a nonstop flight to Istanbul. From Yorkshire and Merseyside, Manchester is usually the quickest option.

For the day after the last night included in your package: those nights cover the time the surgeon wants to see you in Istanbul. We recommend a flexible fare in case the surgeon asks for an extra day.
