I took a non-stop flight from LAX to Istanbul last year, then on to Nairobi.

The fare was several hundred dollars less than any competitor and the non-stop option was fantastic.

They gave me a free layover in Istanbul on return from Nairobi, so I spent 5 days there.

Plus they had the best food I have ever had on a plane.

I stayed in the old city and found the public transportation unbeatable.
