I came across these prices yesterday and I started a thread about them in the Alitalia forum this morning before this one was started. That thread has now been closed as this one has become more active since.

Basically I was wondering how safe the purchase of these tickets is? I dont care about the money as that is guaranteed by my credit card, but this is a trip that I want to take and I dont want to have to buy a much more expensive ticket with another airline later if these cheap ones get cancelled.
At the moment I have the option of Alitalia for GBP900 or Turkish for GBP1300 and other airlines from about GBP2000, and I'm inclined to go with Turkish.
