Transit passengers tour Istanbul while waiting for flights
Güncelleme Tarihi:
Turkish Airlines' (THY) transit passengers, who come from abroad and change flights in Istanbul, can tour the city instead of waiting for the next flight at the airport.
THY offers its transit passengers the opportunity to rest at a hotel or tour the historical places of the city with a guide while waiting for their connecting flights in Istanbul.
In order for the transit passengers to benefit from this opportunity, passengers travelling in business class should have a layover of at least seven hours prior to their connecting flight, while those flying in economy class should have a minimum10 hour layover, THY officials said.
The "guided Istanbul tour" scheduled for transit passengers start at 8:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. daily.
THY transit passengers can visit Istanbul's famous historical sites including Topkapi Museum, Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque), Sultanahmet Square (Hippodrome), Galata Mevlevihanesi (Galata Mevlevi Dervish Lodge), Ayasofya Museum (Hagia Sophia) and the Archeology Museum as part of the city tour.
