As the summer holiday season approaches, expats living abroad have started planning their trips to Turkey. However, high airfare prices have led many to seek budget-friendly alternatives. This year, Air Serbia has gained attention by offering more affordable prices for Paris-Belgrade-Istanbul flights compared to airlines like Turkish Airlines (THY) and Pegasus.
Paris-Istanbul More Affordable with Air Serbia
For a Paris-Istanbul round trip on July 12 (departure) and August 23 (return), Air Serbia offers tickets for a family of four (2 adults and 2 children) with 23 kg of baggage allowance at a total cost of €1,750.
In comparison, tickets with Turkish Airlines for the same dates and baggage allowance can cost up to €2,750. This €1,000 price difference is a deciding factor for expats choosing their preferred airline.
Alternative Option: Road Travel
High ticket prices are pushing expats to consider traveling to Turkey by car. However, this option entails long and tiring journeys. Families, in particular, are exploring this challenging alternative to reduce travel costs.
A Call from Expats: Airfare Prices Must Be Lower
Expats are calling on authorities to ensure that airfare prices are kept reasonable during the summer season. They are urging airlines to adopt more affordable pricing policies and hope their demands will be taken into account.
