Jet is a better performer for *A, period.
However, they evidently do not wish to join an alliance...

IST-NYC/CHI on TK
TK has published nice business class fares to USA for valentines day. It is a companion fare where the first passenger pays €699 and the second €1, so total per passenger is only €350 + taxes & fees for business class! I haven't been able to price it anywhere though, it must be bought in Turkey:
Fare basis is JLOVECN & JLOVECP, there is no min stay but max is 8 days and outbound must be between 9th Feb and 14th Feb:

hmm hate the issue in Turkey part.
Tried calling in and the nice lady (who seemingly had no clue) informed me that it was for TK elites only.
now TK germany doesn't have the fare yet, so we are waiting - any advice on where to buy a ticket in turkey?
weren't these fares also around last year?

The TK J fare is even more interesting as it could be operated with their 'new' 77W on wetlease from 9W ^

TK have these short term booking window, restricted stay fares regularly. The list of upcoming destinations (with the dates) can usually be found on the Turkey site. They are only bookable by calling TK in Turkey; you can't book them online.
Special offers for February
They used to list the fares next to the destination, unfortunately not anymore. European routes and DXB were usually €333 in business.

Question on the TK fare - if I am traveling by myself can I simply book a LASTNAME/EXTRASEAT -type thing (fake person)? My reading of the fare rules is you must have a companion?

dates for SFO/LAX-DXB
Sorry, should have specified dates: 2/12-2/19 BUT these fares should be good through the 1st quarter of 2009. Weekend is +200 I believe; still pretty good though....^

Oh, and the TSA has no business with your passport number.
