Travel to Istanbul, Turkey from NYC

Hi!

I'm hoping to visit Turkey during the 1st week of July. Going from NYC to Istanbul.

What prices should I be expecting for airfares?

Also, does anybody know of any good websites for buying tickets online OR travel agents in NYC to buy airline tickets from?

Thanks in advance!

I bought my ticket through Turkish Airlines - and I went at the end of October. July is defintely hiugh season - so expect to pay. It's a long flight - about 9 hours.

Turkish Airlines and Delta are the two that have non-stop flights. Expect around $1,100-1,200 for July. [It's just slightly more than going to, say, Italy.]

Or there are dozens of one-stop connections. Expect around $1,000.

OK this is going to sound a little weird:

If you book your Turkish airlines ticket directly on their website you'd pay about $1300, but if you book your flight on the American airlines website, which is a partener of Turkish airlines, they would book you on a Turkish airline flight but you'd pay $1110 !
