I know there were some strikes at BER recently. And the day before yesterday I was hit by one such strike myself, returning home to BER and having to fly a day later.

I plan to take part in a group tour in Turkmenistan at the end of May. My preferred airport would be BER because I can sleep cheaply at the terminal. I'm worried though that I might be hit with another strike and hence lose a day. Alternative would be HAM, which would require a 15 minute walk to the airport with luggage and a metabolic muscle condition, and a shorter night. Flying with Turkish.

Would you take the risk or book HAM? Flight prices and flight times are about the same.
