Black Friday Special on TurkishAirlines.com 40% all base fares (except flights to Turkey or Cyprus)

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Thanks OP!
I want to book this. What's the best way (for refunds etc.), Priceline? Expedia? Turkish? Thanks.

I believe this is only on TK website.

Might be easier to search on Kayak.com which will reroute you to Turkish Airlines website to complete purchase.

Ex NYC fare is $400 cancellation fee, some Ex BOS fares are non-refundable.

I found the flight on TK. Any reason to use Kayak?

Correct. Priceline is much more.

I found and booked on TK.

I later looked for something else on Kayak and found that it comes up with same fares and reroutes to TK website. I think Kayak search is somewhat easier.

But if I already found the flights on TK, no reason to bother with Kayak, right?

Free cancellations 24 hours? Good business class? Lie flat?

Lie flat on widebodies (some IST-TLV flights are wide body, but most are narrow - it's a pretty short hop).

They lay your "bed" nicely for you and have great service. IME ksml was same as economy with a sticker that said business.

I was lucky last time I flew there was a storm in IST so they protected me on AA via PHL which was flying at the time and had a great business class.

Thanks. Any experience with 24 hour cancellation?

Never booked directly with them before.

I booked flights based on DWs request, wouldn't be my first choice for flights. I will see if I can talk her in the morning into getting a different schedule, and if indeed am successful with that, I will try to cancel and rebook. So stay tuned.

It's back again this year!
Purchasing date:   November 24th, 2017
Travel period:   December 27th, 2017 - May 15th, 2018
Outbound: Travel is not permitted 10 December 2017 through 27 December 2017 for departure of first international sector.
Inbound: Travel is not permitted 30 December 2017 through 17 January 2018 for departure of first international sector.

I'm sure Pesach and Lag Baomer will be snatched away quite fast. Though T&C seem to say this is only for Economy Fares and only to select destinations. We need to see.

Indeed. No business class discount this time around.

The complete scam part here is YQ. It's a scam that affects many aspects, occasionally to the public's benefit like when AC loads fares without YQ into GDSs, but mostly against the public.
