I thought I saw Juba somewhere in TK's upcoming plans.

India or Spain make more economic sense than Iceland...
Slovakia does not need a direct flight to BTS, it is well connected on the ground to VIE, PRG or BUD.

As I live in Izmir any direct flights from ADB would do. TK do not operate a single international,not1,flight from Izmir. Izmir is a 4 million inhabitant city,and apart from the Marmara region it is the richest part of Turkey.Truly amasing.

Hyderabad - after LH pulled out of the market one has to transfer in DEL or BOM which is a real PITA

Nagoya

Nonstop service to Jakarta with a tag on to Bali.

A second daily flight to LAX or at least increasing the size of the Business cabin. It is close to impossible to purchase a fare other than C if not booked weeks in advance.

That would be really nice, even if 2-3 times per week

They need to open SFO or deploy the Jet Airways aircraft to LAX. That one has 8F (nice bonus for people who pay C-fare) and 30C with lie-flat seats. NOt Comfort class though

Vancouver would make a great deal of sense, particularly give the O&D market between YVR and (Northern) India and some Middle East cities. (given there's no service to the UAE yet)

My vote is YVR

Juba was announced 2 years ago, but not yet started. So its officially on standby list for new destinations list

Unfortunately many asian (china,india,etc) destinations are strict to allowances. Otherwise TK would multiply Chinese and Indian destinations immediately. Hope the governments can sort it out.

^ = opened
:-: = announced and to be opened

North America:
Boston 4x333 ^
Miami 4x343
San Francisco 5x77W :-:

Latin America:
Caracas-Bogota 3x343 :-:
Havana 2x333 :-:

Africa:
Abuja(triangle)Port Harcourt 3x333 :-:
Asmara 4x738/320 ^
Libreville-Pointe Noire 3x739 ^
Luanda 4x739/333 :-:
Luxor 5x738/320 :-:
Marrakech 4x738/320
Oran 3x738/320 ^

Europe:
Bergen(triangle)Stavanger 5x738/320
Krasnodar 3x737/319
Salzburg 3x738/320 ^

Asia:
Atyrau 3x737/319
Chengdu-Chongqing 4x333
Isfahan 3x738/320 ^
Kandahar 2x738/320
Lahore 3x738/320 ^
Manila 4x343 :-:
Qassim 3x319/737 ^
Taipei 4x333 :-:
Turkmenbashi 2x319/737
Urumqi 3x739

Since I spend a lot of time in the small Aegean town of Ayvalik,local airport Edremit,EDO (30 min drive from my doorstep),I would almost litterally kill for an early morning flight from EDO to IST instead of SAW !! Probably not realistic due to lack of landing slots at IST,though,gues the same is the reason why TK and other Turkish cariers does not use small planes for short domestic flights.

I wish TK begins to consolidate frequencies, before keeping to expand the network.
There are several examples, even in Europe, of daily feeders in dire need of addition which translate in limited choice of connections and daunting >5 hours waiting time at IST.
Not to mention the common x3/x4 scattered around ME, subcontinent and Africa.
