The very same long, long walkways and stairs like yesterday back for the international part of the terminal.
Not to my pleasure, no OLCI available here with the OS/TK codeshare and the nice young woman at the counter confirmed: No more window seats at all. Well, in this case, give me the aisle last row.
And there is also no seat change possible for the further leg. Ok, no one forced me to book these OS/TK code share/open jaw combination on different codes!.
Well, card control, my credit card´s protection system is not that really happy with this and asked me twice if I really stands for.
Some people book and fix tickets from their homecountry "A" to destination "B" and pay in their home currency.
Some others, me?, book tickets from "B", issued and to pay in "B" currency to destination "C" via their homecountry "A". These people!.
Fixed finally via the Austrian website and the turkish office,
three legs on the paper, the fare for this leg is 80.00 Euro´s.
Needless to say, I´am not happy with the long queue at passport check. 30 minutes to wait and my 2.00 hours connecting time running lower and lower. But thankfully security is quick and do not ask about a lounge visit here.
Finally ontime at the gate, 220 today
Here we see the A320 like on schedule, "Mardin", TC-JPN,
leg no. 105 on type and yes, new to the log.
With Turkish Airlines since 23.07.2008, 30 planes on type are in the actual fleet.
Stories?. Sure!:

Tatarstan Air Company?. Well, never more from 31.12.2013 onwards.
Just a side note. The russian administration doing well in revoking Tatarstan´s licence, an airline well accepted to fly within the EU. And what about a replacement for the so unsure Tatarstan Airlines?.
Simply transfer the aircraft/routes/staff to AkBarsAero, the other airline at least partially owned by the Tatarstan government and everything is good, isn´t it?
What about four engines?
12.10 am it is, what means short after schedule, 2.00 hours to fly by "Turkish". "Three-Five-Left" it is like yesterday with 16 partly cloudy degrees at the "İstanbul Atatürk Havalimanı".
A warm welcome by Miss Cook. I really like these idea with someone on board in a chef uniform and hat. Today it is a really kindly young woman with nice talking during boarding and a lovely welcome to me
27C, the last row aisle, all seats are taken
with a very close to 100% load, no open seats to spot
with a good number of biz looking travellers on the way.
Somewhat low legroom and the seat details, black dark blue leather, clean so far
Cockpit crew is from Turkey, the "Kaptan" with a nice welcome after the boarding completed message.
Once again inflight and short prior to approach, too.
Routing is via Bourgas, Arad and Budapest.
There are four more cabin crew members beside Miss Cook.
Two male FA´s, one young and nice the other elder and ok.
Two middle aged female FA´s. One blonde, biz friendly, the other smaller, black hair, nice.
The safetycard and the magazine
The well loaded cabin and now it´s time for Miss Cook!
And some seat details, too
And while we talked about the nice service, Miss Cook decided that to prepare one meal for me is simply not enough. Well, take the best of both worlds, isn´t it and I´am sure I´ve never eat such a lot of Bulgur beside my last flights on Turkish Airlines!
The well loaded cabin again with Miss Cook at work
The "Flughafen Wien-Schwechat" welcomes me at 1.20 pm, short ahead to schedule. The 3600 meters runway "One-Six" it is with 12 degrees and fog. It seems it´s over now with the clear blue sky!.
More chat during disembarking till it seems I finally should go now.
Well, extraordinarily nice service here by TK and especially Miss Cook!.
One more leg to come. Bye now.
The Tripreporter
