ISTANBUL

Transfer passengers of Turkish Airlines (THY) will be able to visit palaces under Parliament’s administration for free.

Turkey’s flag carrier, THY, and the Turkish Parliament have signed a cooperation memorandum to enable transit passengers of the former to visit palaces, summer palaces and mansions without paying a fee.

The protocol aims to promote the country’s touristic attractions and cultural heritage by benefiting from the wait time of transit passengers. THY has been offering a free sightseeing tour in Istanbul for transit passengers that have more than six hours to spend between flights.
