Bookabed & Turkish Airlines fab Fam trip to Antalya

#Traveltradetogether

#TRAVELTRADETOGETHER

Jacinta Mc Glynn (Travelbiz) checking in with Turkish Airlines and Bookabed.

Following our comfortable flight from Dublin direct to Antalya with Turkish Airlines, it’s soon apparent why the flight was full, a full-service flight with free meal and beverages on board and a welcome 23kg baggage allowance (with 8kg in cabin allowance), this is now a rare occurrence on flights from Ireland.

The Bookabed hotels in this region are all-inclusive and offer incredible value for money. Sumptuous facades reminiscent of ancient temples, some with minarets and gilded cupolas are constructed like real life palaces. We stayed in Swandor Topkapi Palace, a behemoth building with an endless buffet to match; then last night was the turn of Sunthalia in Side where the nightly entertainment was X Factor standard! Stay with me on this terrific Turkish adventure. With Lee Osborne from Bookabed and Onur Gul from Turkish Airlines leading a troupe of Travel Agents and Travelbiz, we’re having fun but working like little demons too!

We’re having an amazing time and our fearless leaders Lee and Onur are treating us like royalty. Stunning Mosque visit and a really fun boat trip today are just giving us a teeny spicy and exotic flavour of Antalya – an astonishing destination. Irish holidaymakers need to visit. Super competitively priced flights with Turkish Airlines and fabulous hotels of the highest calibre with Bookabed – it’s simply a winning combination.
