Wow. Great advice!
I am also contemplating a long stayover. I have a choice of either a BHX-IST-MNL leg with maybe 6 hours layover, or AMS-IST-MNL with a whopping 22 hour layover on the 4th Dec (arriving about 4am and leaving about 2am the next day as there is only one MNL flight a day). The cost is about the same (even with the BHX-AMS leg on KLM factored in and the transit visa) and I have FB Gold so there is minimal impact on luggage (I do max out the luggage allowance).
I am TK*G
My wife, incidentally, likes food so she will be suitably impressed if I should bring her back some Turkish delicacies...So with this in mind, what would you propose? Shorter journey OR a transit of Istanbul, and if so, what do you think would be a good way to go about it?
Looking forward to your suggestions
