Every so often, we go through serious destination crushes, and we bet you do too. When it was summer in New York City, we were all about looking up airfares to Iceland, but now that it’s cold and getting dreary, the exotic entrances. Which means that we’ve got our eye on Istanbul, and umm yea we’re totally going to spend the weekend wasting hours on Wikipedia pages and Netflix documentaries about the city’s history and landmarks. Or we could just book a flight and be done with it. That could also happen.
Luckily for travelers who also need a serious escape, Turkish Airlines just launched a sweet fare sale to coincide with the beginning of direct flights between Washington DC, Los Angeles and Istanbul. If you book before December 31 and travel before March 31, 2011, then flights on the DC route are $751 including taxes & fees and $999 on the LA route, same deal.
It’s almost as good as that mindblowing Lufthansa sale that ended last week, but with the Turkish Airlines flights, you don’t have to switch planes in Germany. These are direct, baby!
Here are all the details on the flights, and we’ll (maybe) see you at the Blue Mosque.
