Now thinking that this exotic destination retails over 2.200€ in J basically means paying a premium for a free seat next to me.
Glad I had it on award.
Well, IST-DYU-IST is a disgrace. But then, TK basically is the only non-black-listed option to get there from the west (China Southern flies there from China). So a good example how a monopoly affects the customer!
