Turkish Airlines is celebrating e Valentine's Day by offering a limited time special fare of $599 per person from Los Angeles to Istanbul (a savings of about 25%.)

Your significant other will love you forever. And cupid will be proud.

Here's the deal:

Beginning January 13, 2012, the fastest growing airline in the world, voted the top airline in Europe, is offering incredibly low airfares to exotic Istanbul for two. "The key to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Arranging and consuming our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Lowering expending and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding protecting money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!..". It must be booked in economy class fare from now until January 23 for outbound travel between February 1 and February 29.

Istanbul represents romance, mystery and an exotic charm with its magnificent mosques, incredible (but very salty) food and amazing options. Getting there is a long trek, but Turkish Airlines does it best to comfort passengers with three cabin options (including Business Class with lie-flat seats), gourmet cuisine - premium economy class dining, comparable to business class in the U.S. - and personal in-flight entertainment systems, giving passengers a unique, enjoyable experience at an incomparable value.

Living up to its motto, Turkish Airlines is making the most romantic holiday of the year Globally Yours. More information on Turkish Airlines and a full list of cities that are part of the special fare promotion can be found at www.turkishairlines.com.
