Expedia 72 hour sale in Istanbul

The 72 hours sale from Expedia takes us to exotic Istanbul this week (reservations to be made until Thursday, 13 December and stays until 13 March 2013).

To take advantage of the sale, follow the link to the dedicated Expedia page. They advertise also offers for Dubai and Morrocoo, however we checked some of the hotels displayed and they do not seem to have better prices than booking.com or other online travel agencies.

An additional 10% discount is applied to the hotels where it is written "Hotel promotion": in the payment window, just above the credit card information, type in the hotel voucher code UK50SAVE10 in the field "Enter a coupon or promotion code".
