That's amazing, although I would imagine that recent incidents and warnings/alerts have caused tourists to avoid IST.

Are people who have traveled to Turkey still getting automatic (or near automatic) SSSSS with TSA for weeks after their return?

Two seconds of searching. About $1050. Can play around with dates... And a OW from FRA/XXX-IST on outbound can be found for ~$50.

Pretty tempted to stay a few days in IST due to the low hotel rates... debating if it's a good idea for me to go there though..
