Sorry, but that's a tons of horse**. You can rent a villa with a pool today in Ubud, Bali for as little as $30 per night. You can get reasonable food at a restaurant for as little as $3. I also booked a flight from Istanbul to Ankara (one-way/mid-August) for $28.

This is a US problem. Yes, the world is going through serious inflation right now but nothing comes close to the US.

Turkey is actually at 60% inflation right now.

I think the flight price will be adjusted to the USD/gas prices; I don't think they'll be subsidizing those out of there pocket (it's a touristic country). Yes, I'm aware they are going through rampant inflation, but I'd expect any arbitrage to be played out fairly efficiently.
