February 8, 2016: Win Flights to Metropolis and Gotham with Turkish Airlines

With the release of their Metropolis and Gotham TV commercials, Turkish Airlines has launched City Guides for both cities on their website, with a chance to win seats on inaugural flights to Metropolis and Gotham.

The City Guide page for Metropolis includes a city map and the following information:

Overview

Metropolis is famous for its forward-looking, optimistic spirit, captured in its nickname 'City of Tomorrow'. With wide avenues lined with gleaming skyscrapers, and an entrepreneurial spirit that derives from its long-standing tech industry, it has an infectious energy that inspires visitors. While neighboring Gotham City can seem insular, Metropolis welcomes you with open arms.

Tourist Attractions

The grass of Heroes Park has healed the urban scars left by the Kryptonian attack, and a flurry of new construction - crowned by the gleaming spire of LexCorp Tower - is reshaping downtown. The most memorable icons of the city still stand proudly, including Hammersmith Tower and the Daily Planet Building, while Metropolis' numerous museums and its Avenue of Tomorrow tech showcase are evidence that intelligence can win out over violence.

From impressionistic watercolors to Russian ballet, the fine arts are in fine form in Metropolis. You can experience high culture in concentrated form by visiting the arts district, which spills across three West Side blocks and surrounds the venerable Schaffenberger gallery. Many theaters and music halls did not survive the infrastructure damage of the gravity-wave attack, and in some cases reconstruction is still years away. To fill the void, mobile theater companies such as the Greico Theater Workshop and Awakenings Youth Theater are giving voice to the city's newfound optimism. There are plenty of places to get a taste of this communal energy, particularly in a city famous for its music scene, where seemingly every bar has an open microphone. Nova and similar velvet-rope dance clubs helped shape the city's glitzy pop-culture history. Catch headliner acts at larger venues such as Shuster Arena or Siegel Music Hall, or get close to the stage in the intimate performance spaces scattered throughout Hob's Bay and along the periphery of the Met U campus.

They say the sun always shines in Metropolis, and the city's wealth of outdoor cafés seems to support the claim. In warm weather, even the four-star restaurants will offer sidewalk seating, the perfect spot for people-watching - or for catching a telltale streak of blue and red zipping across the sky at supersonic speed. The busy environs of the rebuilt Midtown offer quick-service diners, where you might bump elbows with media moguls on their lunch break. Upscale steakhouses dominate the Harbor waterfront, where the pricier menus come with a breathtaking view of the bay and the distant lights of Gotham City.

Turkish Airlines Metropolis TV Commercial Shopping

Metropolis rivals Tokyo as a global capital for consumer electronics, and the city's longstanding reputation as a tech hub has recently received a quantum boost thanks to LexCorp's investment in 'innovation campuses'. The LexCorp store on Tesla Avenue proudly displays advances that are years away from hitting the American heartland - you can often spot a local by the unidentifiable beeping rectangle tucked discreetly into a shirt pocket. That forward-thinking attitude extends to clothing styles too, with a Fashion District that has received an injection of fresh energy from designers inspired by deco lines and bright colors.

The contest closes March 9, 2016 and is open to fans all around the world.
