Heads up, savvy travelers! Turkish Airlines has a sweet perk you should know about: a free hotel stay (up to three nights!) or a free city tour ("TourIstanbul") if you have a layover in Istanbul. This is huge, especially if you're already planning a trip with a connection there.

Now, before you get too excited and start booking, there are a few things to keep in mind. While the article doesn't spell out the caveats (you'll have to read the original article on AwardWallet Blog for the nitty-gritty), it's safe to assume things like booking class, layover length, and maybe even where you're flying from/to could affect your eligibility. Still, even with potential restrictions, a free hotel or tour in a vibrant city like Istanbul is an offer worth exploring! It could turn a boring layover into an unforgettable mini-vacation.
