- The UK Foreign Office (FCDO) advises that Turkey is generally safe for travel but warns of "significant security risks and travel disruption" due to escalating Middle East conflict.
- No new FCDO advice against travel to Turkey has been issued, apart from an existing restriction for areas within 10km of the Syrian border.
- British nationals intending to cross the land border from Iran into Turkey must contact the British Embassy in Ankara beforehand due to risks of detention by Iranian authorities.
- While flights between the UK and major Turkish airports are mostly operating, Turkish Airlines has cancelled services to several Middle Eastern countries, including Iran and Iraq.
- Travellers cannot claim full refunds for cancelling trips to Turkey based on safety concerns unless the FCDO's official travel advice changes, with cancellation terms dependent on holiday providers.
