Wow... in direct competition with Air Arabia (operating out of SAW, though).

Asking myself the same question, as I also cannot find the any IST-DPS nonstop flights in July 2019 anymore.

Wow, DPS-IST surely will be the/one of the longest flights in the TK network. I can't recall seeing flight times > 13 hours with TK

Great circle distances are a good proxy for flight times:


IST DPS 6,424 miles
IST GRU 6,547
IST BOG 6,680
IST PTY 6,740
IST LAX 6,871
IAN-UK is online now

Only to LAX once and I had forgotten how long the flight was... I use TK primarily for flights to/from Asia. Based in Denmark it does make sense to fly TK to the Americas (a huge detour).

Can anyone tell me how far in advance TK open flights for booking? At present I'm routing MAN - MUC, on LH. Overnight in MUC then catch the MS service MUC - CAI, followed by a domestic connection CAI - LXR, which gets you to the final destination after midnight, local time. On the way back it's a 27 hour trip, with no night spent in Munich.

Although TK aren't as generous with luggage allowances as LH & MS, this service might still be an option, if the timings and fares are doable; I know several other potential travellers who, at present use the TK IST - HRG service, with an overnight in Hurghada and a 4 hour road trip to get to and from Luxor, who might also be interested in a, potentially, easier journey.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

That depends on whether permissions have been completed. I would expect them to be bookable from spring.
