There is, but I'm here to tell you, that flight sucks rocks. I used it in March and although the timing worked well for my LHR layover, the TK flight itself was torture. It left at 1030pm and thanks to a strong tailwind push arrived IST at 320am local. Even at IST, hub of the old world, not much is open at that time. Meanwhile the flight was totally full, there was no halfway comfortable seat assignment for UA *G members, and we had some turb. It was still operating from T3 at that time, which meant at least I could use the SK lounge and down a couple of cold ones to prepare.
