Take Me Away: $599 for 2 Round Trip Tix to Istanbul on Turkish Air

Years ago I was invited on a trip to Istanbul and had to decline because of a professional commitment - it remains one of my biggest travel regrets. Several of my friends have been to this magical city that borders Asia and Europe and have shared their tales of the delicious food, bustling bazaars, and stunning architecture. If Istanbul has also been on your wish list, this amazing offer from Turkish Airlines can't be beat.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, for $599 you can book 2 round-trip tickets on Turkish Airlines from Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, or Washington, DC. The two passengers must travel together and the tickets must be purchased by January 23, 2012. The special promotional fare is available for outbound travel between February 1-29, 2012. Fare includes all taxes. Seat capacity for this promotion is limited.

FYI, Turkish Airlines was voted the number one airline in Europe by SkyTrax - the world's largest airline review site.
