Hello from Istanbul, Turkey

Today I am flying to Istanbul, Turkey for a business trip with some of our customers and staff. This will be a fast and furious trip as we will only be there for just four days and then we fly back home. Our flight from Chicago will be non-stop on Turkish Airlines. Many people are not aware of Turkish Airlines but it is actually one of the largest airlines in the world. It actually serves more countries than any other airline. They are growing faster than dandelions in my front yard. Actually, they fly to 130 countries and 264 international destinations. I usually use them for great pricing for business class seats to Europe and beyond. CLICK HERE for more. 

Here is the coolest thing about flying Turkish Airlines – Millions of jokes have been told about eating airline food but Turkish Airlines beats them all with their “Flying Chefs”. Turkish Airlines is actually renowned for its award-winning cuisine and its unique Flying Chefs, who work alongside cabin crew, cooking and overseeing food preparation. And you will be amazed as on their international business class flights of 8 hours or longer they serve Candlelight dinners that are served on stylish porcelain tableware that is specially designed for Turkish Airlines, CLICK HERE to hear more. 

Here are the Eight reasons you should consider flying on Turkish Airlines – on your next international flight to Europe, Middle East or Asia:

1. Turkish Airlines offers 12 U.S. Gateways that fly directly to Istanbul and beyond. They include Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, LAX, Miami, NYC (JFK), Newark, San Francisco, Washington (IAD).
2. They will soon be adding flights from Denver to Istanbul. This opens up a lot of seats to Europe.
3. They are the only airline to offer Flying Chefs onboard flights.
4. They fly to 264 international destinations which is the most of any airline.
5. Turkish Airlines is a member of the Star Alliance so you earn frequent flyer miles on United Airlines or other Star Alliance airlines.
6. They offer free Stopovers – Economy Class passengers may stay one night free in a 4-star hotel and Business Class passengers may stay two nights in a 5-star hotel free of charge.
7. The business class lounge in Istanbul is the biggest and best in the world. CLICK HERE to read more.
