Lifer Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Anyone out there use the fairly new non-stop Turkish Airlines flight between Bangkok and Istanbul. What was your experience like, and what kind of price did you pay? Thaniks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genericnic Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Lifer, For what it's worth, I just booked a trip from Bangkok to Istanbul with a 4 day layover before heading to Barcelona and then return to Bangkok. Total was 1,220 Euros (about 51,100 baht). I don't have a break out of the cost from Bangkok to Istanbul. I just did a quick check on their website (turkishairlines.com) for a one-person RT BKK-IST using 10/1 - 10/4 as the travel dates. They have a promo fair of 818 Euros (about 34,260 baht) which includes taxes. Go to their website and see what you get. As for the quality of the airline, I haven't flown with Turkish Air before but have seen consistently good reviews. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen the prices for e-tickets, but my problem is I do not have a credit card, only a US Visa debit card. I did notify the Airline office in Bangkok and they said they could email me the e-ticket upon receipt of the money. All e-ticket prices quoted in Euros. Used to live in Turkey in the late 80's and spent a lot of time in Istanbul. Thought it might be fun to take my Thai wife there for a getaway. Thanks again for the info.
