Paying Turkish Airlines in instalments
A Turkish Airlines ticket to Europe or the Americas often suits a 6 or 12 month plan with Tabby or your bank card. For a short trip to Istanbul, a few Tamara payments may be enough. More in our installment plan guide.
If a Turkish Airlines return from Dubai to London via Istanbul costs AED 3,000, a 6 month plan comes to about AED 500 per month, and a 12 month plan to about AED 250 per month, plus any plan fee shown in the link.
