I am flying with kids and would be nice to have the screens to keep them occupied…

Thanks in advance ^
I have had it in J but never flown it in Y so can't comment.

Hi guys,
so I'm trying to burn my miles for an expensive flight with TG intra Thailand, space is there, so no problem with that.
Now i'm trying to find out how much it costs mileswise.
I found 2 award charts with different pricing:
1 and 2

1 says 30k intra Far East for Y
2 says 40k intra Far East for Y
I really don't want to call them since its always a pain with them.

I assume pricing is for RT so oneway would be 50%, correct?
so which one is it, is it 15k or 20k in the end for a oneway intra Thailand?

Thanks!

Just to add to the confusion here is a third one from New-M&S

I would think 15K is limited availability and 20K is seat guaranteed but I do not have a lot of experience with booking *A awards, but to book you will have to call them up and visit a ticket office to pay the fees.

Oh ok, a 3rd one
Well that one says 20k / 30k for a oneway, haha, thats even worse.
The FAQ also says you need to visit a TK sales office to pay for the taxes but others say you can do that via email.
I live nowhere near a TK sales office so the transportation cost to get to a sales office would be higher than an actual revenue ticket

When does the TK lounge open in Ataturk? (if it closes)

My work laptop is a little poor so can't actually load any website that tells me!
Thanks.

The limited capacity are cheaper but not available on all flights.
Guaranteed seat is more expensive but you can get an award seat on any flight. (If not sold out of course)

That's true but after 1:30 or 2:00, there is no more food available (kitchens closed, all the salad/cakes/nuts cleared) except fruits and they are sometimes performing repairs and work in the lounge which make it difficult to properly rest.

And showers are closed as well I believe.

Questions about TK flights in December

Dear FT members, would you give advice?

I've checked the price for business class Oslo - Jakarta for December 2016, Turkish offer the cheapest.

I read and watch the news and regarding to what happen in Istanbul these earlier months, do you guys think it's better to give a try and book the tickets?

I've flown with Turkish on 2014 and really love the service, the food, the IST lounge

Thank you so much, in advance.

I honestly wouldn't be worried. Just book the tickets!
