    I flew them this past year on my trip to europe and then to Iran. Was an amazing flight and the service was great.

    One little trick I picked up was when you go to check in you tell them you want to upgrade to comfort class and they it for like an extra 150-200 bucks and it is well worth it. Huge reclining seats and better food. Especially when your doing a 10+ hour flight.

    If you try to book those same tickets online they are ridiculously priced.

    or maybe i just like being able to relax on a trip, and also prefer flying into airports that have space for the aircraft to park at the gates :confused:

    I see where you are coming from for sure. But I would rather blow the money I save while traveling on a nice meal or better hotel etc. The travel I just don't care about much. Now mind you I have seen very old people on 20+ hour flights and I feel for them having to be in that environment.

    i actually don't mind toggling b/t nice restaurants and even street food on a trip, but i just find it particularly torturous to be stuck in a plane 12 straight hours to begin with, so any way to make it more tolerable is worth it to me

    My trip to Paraguay? It was amazing. Took a raft across the river to Argentina and then a bus to Brazil on the way back. Iguazu Falls put Niagara to shame.

    Just be aware that every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople.

    So if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul.
