I landed in Turkey by accident. I know it all sounds funny and ridiculous. Well let me tell you the story and how it happened. So, the story is...
Finally after 1 year I booked my flights to Doha. As I bought the last minute ticket hence, I booked my flight with Pegasus airlines it is a Turkey flag bearing airline. It is a budget airline and lat minute tickets were very expensive hence, they were the only cheap option I had. I had 1 and half hour transit time. So, I had my flight on 13th of December. the first flight was from Amsterdam and the second one was from Istanbul. I reached Istanbul on time. I passed the check point and I was hungry as I did not had anything on the flight. I bought a chicken salad from Subway and I walked to the gate. I only had half an hour to board the flight so I ran and stood in the line. I was almost the last one in the line. By the time my turn came to board the flight the flight was full so all other passengers have to fly by the next flight. I was so pissed and annoyed at that time. I argued with the officers and asked them to give the earliest flight possible, they informed that the next flight is after 36 hours and I have wait for that. I was so annoyed that they requested that they can provide me a on arrival visa as I had dutch ID and they can provide me hotel to stay. I was fine with it so, I took 1 month on arrival visa.
I was planning to travel to Turkey for a long time but I never thought that this will happen like this. I was provided with Hotel to stay from Pegasus. I took this as a serendipity moment to see the Istanbul.
However, I have learned my lesson that do not waste your time in airport. Budget airways can be annoying and frustrating sometimes. I was happy that I received support from the airline.
