Having not visited this event before can anyone who has post some tips? I understand it's possible to fly into Konya Airport via Istanbul and then just use local taxis to get to the event? is this easy to sort out? Also some good hotels close by? Would be great if someone who has done this recently could provide their thoughts and "do's and don'ts".. any help would be great as hope to make a first visit this year. Thanks.

But the DIY option does sound like an easy option too if anybody has done it before?

[slogen51]

Flights booked in anticipation

It it my long overdue first visit - I am going independently and hopefully meeting people out there who know the ropes but essentially Konya has many hotels and I guess it is a taxi/Uber to and from the airport. You could hire a car but it will only be used for airport - Hotel - airbase - hotel - airport to go home

Konya air base shares the runways with Konya airport

Pegasus fly to Konya via Istanbul from Stansted

My flight on 8/5 is £220 the Hotel is £150 for three nights ( although I only need the hotel for 2 nights as the flight leader suggested getting the 11pm flight on the 10th to Istanbul to spend a day ( i.e a long layover) on the 11th doing the Airforce museum before continuing to Stansted that evening )

[DanSeaman]

I too will be doing the DIY option, similar to you Slogan however missing the museum (not really my thing) but will do some civvie spotting on my layover

Does anybody know how quickly the Embassy turn around the applications ?
Sounds like there are lot of groups arranging the same thing, from those who have previousley visited Anatolian Eagle how many spotters do they allow on base ?

Slogen51, Sounds like we could be on the same flights. PM me if you want to discuss car share ?

[Doughnut]
