I just did a dummy booking departing 6th of march to London and a return on the 20th of march and its quoting me 820$ which is expected since its the inaugural but another dummy booking on march 28th to Washington DC is quoting just 1439 which is a bargain compared to previous prices which involved taking a flight to Dubai for 1500 and another 500 to Mogadishu from Somalia plus the whole process of changing terminal and a hardship for those who carry travel documents only as they were not allowed to enter the UAE and could be stranded at the airport for hours. Now looking at the timing London,Stockholm, Amesterdam, JFK, Chicago, Los Angeles, DC, Berlin, Paris are all within a two hour connections time in Istanbul. Xamar Cadey
