I read somewhere that the Spanish authorities were not charging the airlines to land the plains in spain, but welcoming tourists to help ease the financial crisis. I also read that planes scheduled for Turkey had been rescheduled to spain and canaries earlier this year. There must be a reason why a 4 hour flight to the canaries is cheaper than a 4 hour flight to Turkey. Turkey has always been cheaper to eat and drink, but with a beer in turkey now more expensive than a beer in the canaries and a bottle of wine far cheaper in the canaries, plus the euro better value this year. I just hope the exchange rate in Turkey doesnt slip back to the 2.18 it was in spring of 2011
