Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
Turkish Airlines issues these tickets in booking class W. There are not many miles to be earned.

Destination
Antalya and vicinity is famous for its marvelous all-inclusive resorts, giving you the opportunity to get a cheap vacation at the tail-end of the summer holidays. During the travel period, you can get one week in an all-inclusive resort for less than €50 per person per day.
Whichever category and hotel you opt for, make sure to get the best price! Our recommendation is to search on booking.com, or even on our own Travel-Dealz hotel search:
Information & Tips for Turkey
Turkey, situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is a fascinating country with a rich historical and cultural heritage. From ancient ruins to vibrant markets, and stunning landscapes to delicious cuisine, Turkey offers a diverse range of experiences for travellers.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or a foodie, Turkey promises a memorable journey filled with architectural wonders, warm hospitality, and a vibrant blend of East and West influences.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Turkey depends on the regions you plan to explore. The coastal areas, including popular destinations like Istanbul, Bodrum, and Antalya are best visited during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) when temperatures are mild and pleasant. The summer months (July to August) can be hot and crowded in these regions, but they are ideal for beach and resort activities. Inland areas, such as Cappadocia and Pamukkale, are also best visited in spring and autumn, as summers can be scorching and winters chilly.
Visa & Entry
Visitors from many countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and most European nations, can enter Turkey for tourism purposes without a visa and stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, it’s important to verify the visa requirements based on your nationality with the Turkish embassy or consulate in your home country, as visa policies can change.
