Correct. As you alluded to in your original post, it's only the distance to the jetbridge
Thanks for your clarification.
I was searching flight from Delhi to Istanbul. For three of us, Kuwait is $960. Indigo is also close at $868, but its seat is domestic level, plus no entertainment, though it is non-stop. Turkish and Emirates would be $1746 and $1370.
I never flew Kuwait, but looking at price and default 2x23kg baggage, I think I can take this one.
