TK runs cheap fares on most all its routes. I recently saw a $700 (approx.) fare JFK-IST, and those flights consistently sell out. TK has a major competitive advantage over other European carriers due to much lower labor costs.

Tk premium economy is alright but whoever designed that J product .......
I completely disagree. TK has one of the nicest J products out there. May not be direct aisle access, but it's an extremely comfortable seat and the food is amazing.
IST is not so good for connecting from US to the continent but very convenient to many places further east and south.
