Again! This is becoming a habit.
My first visit to Istanbul was last November at the start of my dental work and I went again last month for it to be continued. I’ll be going back for the work to be finished off early in May and on each occasion I’ll have travelled by Turkish Airlines, which on the last two flights I’ve found to be excellent.
This morning I made a booking to fly to Melbourne, Australia at the end of this October to visit my cousin who I haven’t seen since we were little children. I’m pretty good now at sniffing out airline fare sweet-spots and the exact dates out and back were determined by the flights and fares that are available and guess what. I’ll be doing the trip yet again on Turkish Airlines!
I’ve made the booking for the whole flight on the Turkish Airlines web site but they’ll not be taking me the whole way. The itinerary will be from Bordeaux via Istanbul and Singapore Changi and the connecting flights between the latter and Melbourne in both directions will be handled by Jetstar, a low-cost wholly owned Qantas subsidiary.
But the Istanbul connection will become even stronger on my return journey. Turkish Airlines offer a free service to their international passengers who have a long enough layover in Istanbul called Touristanbul.
Depending on the time available up to a full day, Turkish Airways will entertain you to a guided tour of Istanbul. It’s totally free and you can make a booking as soon as your flight has been confirmed and your e-ticket issued. I’ve already made my booking, for a tour from 0800-1130 which will take up most of my layover period.
Apparently it also includes some light refreshments, so what’s not to like 😉
