Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan enjoys talking about gigantic construction works, aiming to make Western powers and domestic enemies envious.

I wonder if they’ll sacrifice a camel on the tarmac, like a group of mechanics did at Ataturk International a few years back.
I have been flying Turkish in and out of Europe (mostly Frankfurt) these past years. Hard to beat their prices (HALF of the non-stop from LAX-FRA) and their business class is excellent!!!
Yep. Hate to admit it but actually Turkish Airlines are near the best for the price.
