# Pointe-Noire to Istanbul (PNR-IST): nonstop flights and award space

Turkish Airlines flies nonstop from Pointe-Noire (PNR) to Istanbul (IST) just twice a week. A long sector flown twice a week carries its premium cabin on only a few flights, so each date on the calendar is worth checking. 2LNR tracks award seats on Turkish Airlines across every PNR to IST date, so you can see whether a seat exists before you move points.

Schedule last confirmed September 20, 2026. Departure times come from 2LNR's schedule data; confirm with the airline before you book.

A copy of this page can stay in use for a few days after it's built, and by then that check would be more than 14 days old, so we aren't publishing departure times. The frequency figures above come from that same schedule.
