If traveling Europe is still unchecked on your bucket list, then you'll want to take note of this news from Turkish Airlines. The carrier offers major discounts on connecting service to Europe and beyond (a total of 243 destinations to be precise), including top tourist locations like Naples, Italy; Nice, France; Rome; Bologna, Italy; Vienna; Lisbon, Portugal; Malta; and Malé (the capital city of the Maldives), among others. Or opt to connect to Spain's capital of Madrid, which makes for a trip packed with vibrant Spanish culture and stunning architecture—don't miss the Palacio de Madrid (residence of the Spanish Royal Family), Plaza Mayor (the city's expansive grand central square) or Puerta de Alcala by Plaza de la Independencia (near Parque del Retiro). Madrid also offers a bustling nightlife and exciting culinary scene to boot.
Feeling that wanderlust yet? If so, you'll be happy to know that it's easier than ever to take advantage of Turkish Airlines' connecting service thanks to new daily nonstop service from Atlanta to Istanbul, starting May 16. The timing could not be better, as May is considered one of the best times to visit Madrid. There is typically a Saturday overnight stay in Istanbul required for outbound flights to connecting cities—but we think that's a bonus since you'll be able to take in some sights of this interesting city, which happens to be the only city in the world that straddles two continents (Europe and Asia). Travel is permitted any available day starting May 16. Additional restrictions may apply.
