Advertising during the Super Bowl isn’t cheap, and the companies that do typically focus on making ads interesting, rather than focusing purely on ”selling” their products.

Hey don’t talk about turkey much. It’s nice not having as many tourists there!
What Turkey really needs right now is an end to the Erdogan abuse of human rights, including particularly freedom of the press. I am not one to "boycott" destinations (or I probably couldn't stay home either), so I'd still go and would recommend Turkey for its many desirable features as a place to visit. But to say better promotion is what the country really needs is definitely to take a narrow view.
I bet you the 2 ladies are in it together, that’s why the second one tells the First Lady everywhere she’s going.
The shots of Istanbul were nice, and I agree that it’s an amazing city, but I felt somewhat bored by the midway of the video. The writing/plot doesn’t go anywhere and it didn’t seem that creative. As advertising or publicity campaigns go it was OK but not great.
I'll be on that TK66 inaugural flight to Bali!! But why weren't they featuring the new J seat on the 787?!
Stupid and thoroughly dumb...a waste of T-lira. People are not going to Istanbul these days because it has a thoroughly repulsive political regime. Not to mention in realityTK’s FAs are among the laziest in the air offering a profunctory level of drinks/meal service after which they vanish for most of the flight (particularly in business class). For 90% of travelers the new airport will be a hassle to get to/from and cabs/limos outrageously expensive with few alternatives.
I'm not clear why this blog is promoting travel to Turkey at this time. For all the deniers please don't call the State Department when you have a problem in Turkey. The US State Department current travel advisory is :
Reconsider travel to Turkey due to terrorism and arbitrary detentions. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/turkey-travel-advisory.html
The clearly states US citizens are being detained for no reason.
What can I say? I am speechless. It’s not just a movie. It’s not just an advertisement. It’s all of it together, directed by one of the best film directors in the world. This is a great initiative to get out from the box and improve your image a million times. Well done Turkish. Well done!
I love all the Americans (yes one can tell) spouting off about political this and that! It's no different than US policies. Same effect at the human level, so please, enough!!
"People are not going to Istanbul these days because it has a thoroughly repulsive political regime."
I spent a wonderful month there last year, knowing that my friends and their families still need to exist and frankly the thoroughly repulsive political regime with bigger fangs is based in Washington, D.C.
I think my chances are traveling to Turkey and back are better than my chances of walking down to the corner convenience store to get a gallon of milk and returning to my apt in Chicago without any harm.
My takeaway from the video: for airport transfers in Istanbul, from the airport it's okay to take a car, but going to the airport you need a helicopter.
Why does this TV add look like a spy movie ? Is there a big spy airline market ?
