TK

TK to IST would be great for connections to the Middle & Far East. Flown on them a few times and they're quite good. IST Terminal is not the best however it appears to work.

On another subject - LCC; BRS has 2 as does the UAE where I send most of my time Fly Dubai & Air Arabia. Have always tried to 'marry' 2 flights one from each end to get one way or the other, but they just don't match. The only possible junction in Athens with a 12 hour wait (& then not to BRS).

Appreciated LCC have different business models to normal scheduled airlines and maybe the need / requirements for destinations differ in Middle East (with more migrant labour) & Europe (with more leisure travel) markets, but isn't a trick being missed here by the LCCs. Wouldn't it be a opportunity to test the longer haul market by one LCC at each end having a loose arrangement on scheduling ? Fly Dubai has just announced Belgrade with a 737 but as usual no BRS carrier operates there
