Aside: It always surprises me that Turkey escapes the "far reaches of Europe" rule but Greece, for example, doesn't.
Again, thanks Cheetah. A couple of things:

Re your point on KA, presumably a simple change of flight (from CX service which is bookable now) to KA post whenever it joins fully is easy and at zero cost?

You say 3 spare sectors in Africa - yet I thought as this is treated as the continent of origin, that wasn't the case. You sure on this point?

With you on the ATH vs. IST thing, bizarre, but handy to know, eh?
