Turkish Airlines has launched a new 'Istanbul Bosphorus Experience' for its Business Class passengers.

The programme, specially designed for Business Class passengers who have a transfer time of seven or more hours in Istanbul, allows travellers to closely experience the beauty of Istanbul and the Bosphorus, before continuing their trip to their target destination.

“We always strive to offer our passengers the best flight experience possible – on board and on the ground. With the addition of the Istanbul Bosphorus Experience, we continue to improve our wide range of activities and services. Passengers can now discover and enjoy the cultural facets of Istanbul first hand. Besides further diversifying our offerings to our passengers by launching this service, we are also indirectly contributing to the Turkish tourism economy,” said Ahmet Olmuştur, chief marketing officer (CMO) of Turkish Airlines.

Turkish Airlines Business Class passengers can make their own reservations with special offers through https://bosphorus.turkishairlines.com/ by using their Passenger Name Record (PNR) Code.

With this service, passengers will be welcomed by a guide who will accompany them during their passport control also, and receive a Prime Class welcoming when they arrive at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport.

Outlines of the programme:

• The guide continues to accompany the participants throughout the entire programme. At the first stage, the guide will take the passengers to the marinas of Eminönü or Karaköy, two prominent symbols of Istanbul, with luxurious vehicles.

• Following that, guests have the opportunity to tour around the unique beauty of Bosphorus on a private cruise.

• On the cruise, passengers will be served beverages and snacks. A wi-fi connection will also be made available for use.

• After the cruise tour, an array of the most famous samples from the legendary Ottoman Cuisine (either breakfast, lunch or dinner) will be offered to the passengers, at the historical Çırağan Palace Kempinski Hotel, located at the Bosphorus.

After the Çırağan Palace Kempinski visit, passengers will be accompanied back to their departure terminal. - TradeArabia News Service
