turkish airlines holidays from the UK

 

Turkish Airlines has partnered with HBX and PerfectStay to launch Turkish Airlines Holidays globally. Previously only available for outbound flights from Türkiye, Turkish Airlines Holidays is now live for European departures, with plans to expand to the US soon. With just a few clicks, you can now book flights, hotels, tours, activities, car rentals, airport transfers, insurance, and more. 

The Turkish Airlines loyalty programme allows you to earn miles through Turkish Airlines Holidays bookings at 1 mile per £ spent. All holiday bookings also include a complimentary baggage allowance.

Turkish Airlines Chief Executive Officer Bilal Ekşi commented:

“Passengers travelling outbound from Türkiye have enjoyed the convenience of booking their entire trip through Turkish Airlines Holidays. Now, we are extending this seamless experience to travellers worldwide, making holiday planning easier than ever while strengthening our global presence. We are delighted to provide such comprehensive, one-stop booking options for our guests, further improving their travel experiences.”

Launch Offer – Save Up to £350

For a limited time, you can save up to £350 on holiday packages to destinations worldwide when you book by 31st March 2025 for travel until 31st December 2025.

The Biggest AMEX Business Card Welcome Bonus Ever – Up to 120,000 Membership Rewards Points

American Express has just launched its biggest-ever UK sign-up bonuses for Business Gold and Business Platinum cards, with up to 120,000 Membership Rewards Points available. This bonus is the biggest ever in the UK. For the first time, AMEX is offering a retention bonus for keeping your card in year two, so the bonuses are split into two parts.

The limited-time deal closes on 8th April 2025. If you have a business, now is the best time to sign up.

To be eligible for one of these cards, you can be a sole trader, partnership or Limited Company and meet the following criteria:

  • The business (if you are not a sole trader) has a current UK Bank or Building Society account.
  • You are aged 18 or over
  • You have a permanent UK home address
  • You must have a minimum personal income of £20,000 for Business Gold or £35,000 for Business Platinum.

The American Express® Business Platinum Card

BONUS OFFER: 120,000 Membership Rewards Points

The AMEX Business Platinum card has a £650 annual fee. It includes a wide range of travel benefits, including complimentary lounge access, £200 annual AMEX Travel credit, and elite status with Hilton, Marriott, Melia, and Radisson.

The bonus is in two parts:

  • 80,000 points when you spend £12,000 within three months
  • 40,000 points when you make a single transaction between Month 14 and Month 17

Additional benefits include a monthly bonus of 10,000 points when you spend £10,000 per month and comprehensive travel insurance.

Discover the American Express® Business Platinum Card here >>>

American Express® Business Gold Card

BONUS OFFER: 60,000 Membership Rewards Points

The AMEX Gold Business card is free for the first year and £195 for the second year.

The bonus is in two parts:

  • 40,000 points when you spend £6,000 in the first 3 months (a significant increase from the usual 20,000 points).
  • 20,000 points when you make a single transaction between Month 14 and Month 17.

Other benefits include a quarterly bonus of 10,000 points when you spend £20,000 per quarter and travel accident insurance up to £250,000.

Discover the American Express® Business Gold Card here >>>

AMEX Membership Rewards Points

You’ll earn 1 Membership Rewards Point per £1 spent, with some exceptions and bonus earning opportunities, such as 2x points on Amex Travel. Points can be redeemed across a variety of travel partners, including airline loyalty programmes like British Airways Avios and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club (1:1) and hotel programmes such as Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy, and Radisson Rewards.

Things to Note

  • You can cancel anytime and receive a pro-rata refund on the annual fee.
  • Existing Business Gold cardholders can apply for Business Platinum (and vice versa) and still get the bonus.
  • You are still eligible if you already have a personal AMEX Gold or Platinum card.
  • Card fees are refundable pro-rata if you cancel.
  • Card fees are tax-deductible for businesses.
  • Charge cards require full payment each month, but you get up to 54 days of deferred payment.

If you’ve been considering signing up for an AMEX Gold or Platinum business card, now is the best time to do it! When deciding which card to go for, the annual fee is one of the most important things to consider. It needs to be justified based on the travel benefits you’ll use. With this huge bonus and all the travel benefits offered, we recommend the AMEX Business Platinum, as long as you meet the minimum income requirement of £35,000. However, being free for the first year, the AMEX Business Gold is also a great option.

Expedia’s Annual Holiday Event is Live – 25% Off or More for Members!

Expedia’s annual spring sale is now live. Until 31st March 2025, members can enjoy 25% off or more on select hotels when booking through Expedia.

To take advantage of the offer, you must travel between 27th February and 8th September 2025 (the hotel local time).

The One Key Loyalty Programme

To be eligible for sale prices, you must be a member of One Key, Expedia’s free travel rewards programme, which is also shared with Hotels.com and Vrbo. Signing up gives you a range of instant benefits, including 10% off over 10,000 hotels and 5% off Expedia when adding a hotel after booking a flight.

When booking, you will earn OneKeyCash, which can be used to save money on hotels, car hire, activities and more. As you progress through the tiers, you’ll open up perks like room upgrades and price drop protection:

Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE is only around 50 minutes from Dubai airport and a much calmer experience than the centre of Dubai. Great beaches and stunning mountains make this the nature Emirate. Other than that it is similar to Dubai in terms of high standards if service and alcohol is available in hotels. #pressstay #gifted #rasalkhaimah #uae🇦🇪 #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #overwaterbungalow

I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicp I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicpark and Stratford. I went to review the @hyattlondonstratford Regency hotel but was surprised at how easy it was to get there and get around London so easily. There’s so much on the doorstep from the Westfield shopping centre to the @londonaquaticcentre where Tom Daley trains. There’s a huge restaurant scene here with every sort of cuisine you can think of. I loved all the outdoor terraces to. I ate at Alpine restaurant @haugenldn and was impressed with the range of dishes from wild mushroom rosti to fondue. There’s also a great roof terrace. My review of the Hyatt Regency is now on the blog. #gifted #stratfordlondon #westfield #olympics #paralympics #luxurytravel #foodporn #hyattregency
@british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martin @british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martini table side in their Concorde Room at Heathrow T5. Those flying in First class or holding Gold Guest List or Premier status can access the exclusive lounge. The machine precision weighs each ingredient in a special “Turbine” martini recipe from top class mixologist @mrlyan  Although the recipe calls for Aviation Gin you can substitute it for another gin or vodka. The cleverly designed mixer then mixes it to precision. Inside it looks just like a jet engine. You can finish with a twist of lemon or olives. Cheers! #britishairways #heathrow #martinitime🍸 #cocktailart #mrlyan #mixology #firstclass #luxurytravel
