Turkish Airlines Holidays Package Goes Global

DALLAS – Turkish Airlines (TK) has launched its global Holidays package at an event held at The Peninsula London as part of the carrier’s strategic expansion.

Turkey’s national airline now offers a way to plan and book travel in one place. This service allows passengers to organize their flights, book hotels, schedule tours, and arrange activities. Additionally, via the website holidays.turkishairlines.com, users can secure travel insurance, rent cars, book airport transfers, and much more—all with just a few clicks.

Until now, Turkish Airlines Holidays was only available for departures from Turkey, but it has expanded to key strategic markets, including South Korea, Australia, Mexico, the UK, European destinations, and other countries. This expansion is the result of a strategic partnership with HBX and PerfectStay. The airline also plans to introduce Turkish Airlines Holidays in the U.S. market in the coming months.

Expanding the Holidays brand is a significant milestone that will allow TK to provide high-quality travel experiences to passengers worldwide while enhancing customer satisfaction. The global launch of Turkish Airlines Holidays will further promote Turkey as one of the world’s top tourist destinations.

A unique promotional campaign has been launched to introduce Turkish Airlines Holidays to a global audience. As part of this initiative, all travelers booking their first-holiday package or tour to Turkey through Turkish Airlines Holidays will receive exclusive airport lounge access and discounts of up to €350/£350.
