About IST (Istanbul Ataturk International Airport, IST is its airport code)

IST is the main international airport in Istanbul, Turkey and your first stop in Turkey.

Because of the geographical relationship, domestic trips to Europe, Africa and South America are quite suitable for transit in the Middle East. Most transit destinations are Istanbul (TK Turkish Airlines), Dubai (EK United Arab Emirates), Doha (QR Qatar) and Abu Dhabi (EY Etihad).

The reason is simple: these places don't need a visa to transfer, and the airlines are good, and the transfer ticket is much cheaper than the direct flight.

In IST, free accommodation benefits.

If you take a Turkish Airlines flight, you can transfer in Istanbul.

If you fly business class, you will be provided with free accommodation for 2 days when you transfer. This hotel is a five-star hotel.

If you fly economy class, you will get 1 day free accommodation when you transfer. This hotel is a four-star hotel.

If you stay in Istanbul for more than 20 hours, you can apply by mail. Many people missed this benefit without knowing it.

In IST, free travel benefits (travel to Istanbul).

Similarly, if you transfer in Istanbul and it is an international flight with a stopover time of 6-24 hours, you can join the free Istanbul travel service to explore Istanbul.

After connecting with international flights, Turkish Airlines can register directly at the hotel service desk in the terminal.

Depending on the time of day, there are five routes to explore Istanbul.

This is also completely free.

The trip was great, and I went to all the classic scenic spots in Istanbul, such as the blue mosque, the obelisk, the serpentine column, the museum and so on. ...

Even lunch is free for you.

If you travel freely in Istanbul, you can see it in detail on the following website.

In IST, the benefits of baggage delivery (which is often overlooked by many travelers).

When you arrive in Istanbul, you can send your luggage directly to the hotel and then go surfing by yourself.

When you leave Istanbul, you can send your luggage directly to the airport and then stroll to the airport by yourself.

This service is paid. Miniport, a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, provides baggage transfer service between Istanbul Ataturk Airport and partner hotels, which is exclusively used by Turkish Airlines passengers.

Although paid, this service is very cheap. For example, it only takes 15.03 Turkish lira to send a piece of luggage from Istanbul Four Seasons Hotel to the airport, which is almost less than 20 RMB, which is really cheap.

You can use UnionPay card. UnionPay card 150 Euro at the beginning of 62 has a 10% discount, and its strength is still good, which is worth recommending.

About TK (Turkish Airlines), I still have feelings for TK.

Many years ago, I got TK's gold card, which is also equivalent to Star Alliance's gold card. Although TK didn't sit after the last game, it was the lounge where TK gold was often used to enter and leave various star leagues.

When flying around the world at the beginning of this year, I finally sat on TK. I have two flights from Buenos Aires to Istanbul to Shanghai, which happen to be TK business class.

You can't go to Turkey without TK.

Because there are many direct flights, there are TK routes in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taipei that can fly directly to Istanbul.

It is also because of the good plane that TK, the former Eurasian hegemon, was named the best airline in Europe by Skytrax for six consecutive years. For domestic flights in Turkey, TK is flying with 77W.

By connecting Europe, Africa and South America, I also recommend TK.

At the beginning, I flew all over the world, 10 flew to six airlines, and TK was the best experience.

The following picture shows the circuit diagram of TK, radiating from Istanbul.

The 77W business class of Turkish Airlines adopts the AuraEnhanced2-3-2 layout.

It seems that there are seven people sitting in a row, but the width of the seats is still quite large. The massage function of the tables and chairs makes me feel amazing.

On the journey from Buenos Aires to Istanbul, there was no one around, just a sleeping seat and a sitting seat. Very somatosensory.

In addition, TK is one of the few airlines in the world with chefs on board. It is said that Turkish Airlines hired more than 400 chefs to cook food without authorization. In this huge situation, the food tastes great and the value of the food is still very high.

The pictures of the following dishes are my original real shots. I also took JAL's business class. It can be said that TK's food is absolutely comparable to JAL and ANA.

In addition, TK organically connected to WIFI, Chinese in-flight entertainment, spare parts clarins, noise-canceling headphones MoltonBrown, and stewardess Yan value all went back to make the bed.

The overall experience is excellent.

How to take TK is cost-effective? Let me offer some suggestions.

TK belongs to Star Alliance, and most airlines in Star Alliance can exchange miles for TK flights. At present, the exchange methods with high cost performance are:

ANA, with a mileage of 93k. If you switch to domestic business class to and from Europe, you can choose TK flight to transfer in Istanbul.

Ana, 107k mileage, domestic business class to and from Africa.

UA, 85k mileage, domestic business class to South America, you can choose TK to transfer in Istanbul.

First of all, please remember this website, the only, correct and official electronic visa application system of Turkish and China foreign ministries:

https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/

No way, there are too many fake websites.

All Chinese, as long as you follow the steps to the end, it is very simple, and finally you can pay with Alipay.

About Turkish hotels Turkish hotels are really cheap. More than half of the 25 Hilton hotels in the world only need 5000 cents (160 yuan) in Turkey.

The Marriott department is the same. Turkey has a large number of Cat 1 and 2 hotels, and there are many big cities like Istanbul.

Even if you book directly, hotels like Intercontinental, Grand Hyatt and W in Istanbul are very cost-effective.

Cheap hotels don't mean poor quality. There are many good hotels in Turkey, especially some beautiful cave hotels, which are not only photogenic, but also super cheap.
