Indicative one way economy fares including typical taxes. Through fares to Europe and North America are considerably better value booked as returns.
Istanbul reaches more of Europe than any Gulf hub
For secondary European cities in particular, Turkish Airlines often has a direct connection where the Gulf carriers require a second change or do not fly at all. If you are travelling to Oslo, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Milan or a smaller German or Scandinavian city, the Istanbul routing is frequently the only sensible one on a single ticket.
A longer first leg, a shorter second
The Pakistan to Istanbul sector is around six hours against roughly three to Dubai, so the first leg is longer and the fare higher. The onward European leg is correspondingly shorter. Total journey time to Western Europe usually lands close to the Gulf routings, and to Eastern and Northern Europe it is often quicker.

A competitive allowance on a longer sector

The short version
If you are flying to Europe from Pakistan, price Turkish Airlines alongside the Gulf carriers rather than instead of them. For Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and secondary cities it frequently wins on both fare and journey time. For the Gulf itself it is not a competitor at all.
Booking a Turkish Airlines flight
