We flew business class from Miami to Istanbul and it was truly an experience we’ll never forget. We go into more detail on flying Business Class on Turkish Airlines here, but this is a synopsis: 

Upon boarding the flight we were immediately greeted with a welcome drink and turkish airlines famous flying chefs who took our orders. Shortly after takeoff the meal service began and we were treated to an array of Turkish specialties, international cuisine and an extensive list of wines and liquors. We even had a candle-light to add to the aroma - how cute! After dinner, the staff prepared our beds for a comfortable nights sleep and before we knew it, we had arrived in Istanbul fresh and ready to take on the city. 

We checked into our free 5 star hotel where we spent the next 3 days exploring Istanbul and it was just perfect. If you’re planning a trip later this year, we highly recommend giving turkish airlines a look and taking advantage of their stopover program, it’s an experience you’ll never forget!
