The launch of the FlyFest promotion is to offer the general travelling public the opportunity of enjoying heavily discounted tickets on Turkish Airlines and connecting flights in Istanbul to over 304 destinations in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

A statement issued to the GNA said passengers were to book their tickets between Jan 20 and Mar 31, 2019 for travel before May 31, 2019 to benefit from the promo.

Recognised as the Major Airline in Europe at the 2018 TripAdvisors’ Travelers' Choice Awards, the offer by the Istanbul-based airline, is an opportunity for the growing number of traders who travel to Istanbul for European-quality goods for retail in Ghana, to travel on the cheap.

“The airline’s vast network in Africa makes it the carrier of choice for passengers seeking a great travelling experience at a competitive price” the statement said.

“Given the location of the airline’s home base in Istanbul, which is strategically located on the crossroad of Europe and Asia and with most Africa destinations within six hours of its hub, it is an ideal destination for connecting flights to all parts of the world,” it added.

Round trip tickets with the best prices departing other African countries are available at mobile website, mobile application or at the authorized travel agencies.
