Unfortunately for the time period where this fare is available, QR's fares are about double this specific TK fare if not higher.
People say the TK A330 (and 777) J 2-2-2 are roomy for the feet. It's true. At the sacrifice of zero privacy and stepping over someone if you have a window seat, and in the case of the older A330 (they fly
both planes on same routes) there are no electrical plugs. Cabin must be 30 years old? The only good news, for that fare, is you can rack up UA miles. Oh yeah- Cape Town is awesome and due to currency weakness you can get astounding value when dining out. Plus CPT is also good to position onwards to Namibia or Botswana.
Absolutely correct, QR is currently not offering any fare value. Until they pop up with something tasty, the TK flight pricing are attractive.
To reiterate, not intending to crap on your post at all, but some folks may not fully understand the value proposition. As always, good homework = a good trip
