Re: Turkish Airlines to start flights from Istanbul to Lahore in 2008
On PK route its always 737-800 they used. 330 or 340 depending about passengers load. Less passengers, smaller aircraft.
Its a very good news for me, direct to Lahore from Istanbul.

i don't know the reason but they don't fly to Lahore anymore...however, they do fly to Karachi and Islamabad. They use B-737-800 to both destinations from Istanbul.
Re: Turkish Airlines to start flights from Istanbul to Lahore in 2008
The announcement had been made but as far as I remember the Istanbul-Lahore route never really materialized.
They do fly to Islamabad though as KKF mentioned.

Umer, what do you think of Austrian Airlines since you live in Austria and you must be flying with them at least domestically. i was recently looking for fares to India and this airlines comes up in online searches more often than before because their fares are lower than most other airlines. i just wonder.

It's a pretty decent airline. Not World Class, ie not comparable to Emirates and the likes. But I still prefer flying with them within Europe as compared to other airlines.
A couple of years ago they started direct flights from Vienna to Mumbai and Delhi. The Mumbai flights however are no longer operational. They still fly to Delhi very successfully though.

thanx for the info...yes, we get connection thru Vienna and once i thought of flying with them so i could get to see Vienna by taking a stop over.
Did you Know that a big deal is gonna be struck between Jet Airways of India and Etihad Airways. Jet Airways will then move it's hub from Brussels to Abu Dhabi...this deal will give Etihad access to more cities in India. i'll be benefited personally because, presently, i take 10 hour train ride to my town because of weight restriction in flying within India. this deal will allow Etihad Airways' passengers to/from North America will be allowed to carry 2 pieces of luggage. :) the deal will come by the end of this month. :)
