Airport Transfer Services¶
In Turkish Virtual, Pilots have to start their flights from the airports where they last arrived at. If they want to depart from a different airport, there are some transfer options to reach to that airport. Some of the methods are real time, while the others are handled instantly, also some options cost some seniority or freemiles which are gained by the flights made, while the others are totally free. Pilot needs to select a method according to the need for a transfer. Here is a comparison of the methods...
Hint
It's the pilot's responsibility to plan and go to the airport that he/she wishes to fly. Especially on group flight events, pilots are provided promotional tickets to help them to reach the event departure airport and they must understand that it takes a real flight's time to reach there. All pilots are adviced to make a proper planning to reach to the event departure airport on time.
