Corendon

Upside
Great routes for travel between Turkey and the Netherlands.

Downside
Limited route map is of limited utility.

About
Corendon has been active since 2000, with offices located in Belgium-Brussels and Germany-Düsseldorf, as well as domestic offices in Antalya-Lara and Bodrum-Bitez. The new office in Istanbul Kozyatagi opened in 2004.

Corendon, a Turkey-based airline run by a Dutch tour operator of the same name, flies mostly between the Netherlands and Belgium, on the one hand, and Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, and Morocco.
Among the Turkish destinations served by Corendon are main base Antalya, secondary base Istanbul, and Adana, Ankara, Bodrum, Kayseri, and Konya. Within the Netherlands, Corendon also flies to and from Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Groningen, and Rotterdam. The Headquarters of Corendon Touristic is in Lijnden, the Netherlands, near Amsterdam.

Its unusual destination tally means that Corendon serves both the Netherlands and Turkey more comprehensively than most airlines in our survey.

Baggage
* Carry-on: One piece of hand luggage, not to exceed 5 kg.
* Checked: Up to 25 kg. Over 25 kg, it’s €6 for each additional kg.

Seating
You cannot reserve seats in advance, but can select seats at check-in.

Tip
Corendon has a mandatory policy that states you must check in at least 3-hours prior to departure. And, as far as we can tell, they don’t offer online check-in yet. Hey, more time at duty free!
