Turkish Airlines‘ low-cost subsidiary, Anadolujet, is currently selling non-stop round trips from Brussels to Istanbul for only €111. Unlike with other low-cost carriers, however, 8 kg of hand luggage and a sandwich menu are included. And the surcharge for the fare that includes 23 kg of luggage is laughable, only increasing the total price to €137.

Anadolujet uses a Boeing 737 for its flights between Brussels and Istanbul. The flight takes roughly 3 hours and lands at Sabiha Gökçen airport (SAW), not Istanbul’s main international airport (IST).

Best time to visit
The city is blessed with mild winters, with the average temperature hitting a bottom 8 degrees in December and January. This alternates with very hot summers.
