Day 1.

Approaching Istanbul's Atatürk Airport in the early morning. It was interesting to see a route taken through Iraq, with most other airlines opting to go through Iran instead.


Some of the Turkish delight / lokum on display in duty free as I head to my connecting flight to Sarajevo.


Climbing the stairs to the TK A321 after being bussed to the remote gate.


I had a window exit row seat with plenty of legroom.


Looking down at the construction site of Istanbul New Airport soon after take-off. Supposedly it is to open sometime in 2018 but this looked a tad ambitious given the view out the window.


Snack of cheese sandwich, yoghurt and coffee served on the 2 hour flight.
