Turkish Airlines launches cheap fares to North America for GCC travellers

Turkish Airlines has announced round trip airfares to six cities in North America, offering up to 30 per cent off for passengers travelling from across the Gulf region via Istanbul to Washington, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and Toronto.

Building on the continued passenger growth achieved by Turkish Airlines from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, and Qatar the promotional fares have been launched for advance bookings to North America over the winter months.

Murat Bas, vice president marketing and sales for Turkish Airlines in Middle East & Cyprus, said: “The routes from the Gulf to cities across North America have proved increasingly popular over the years, particularly for holidaymakers who prefer to use Istanbul as a stop-over. In recognition of this, Turkish Airlines offers passengers a number of added value services to enhance their overall travel experience, with the luxurious facilities of Europe’s largest CIP Lounge, and opportunity to discover the historical and cultural riches of Istanbul with our free city tours.”

The promotional return airfares for holidays can be booked until October 31, 2013, for travel to and from the six cities between November 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014.
