| Good news for all us Midlanders! Turkish Airlines start direct flights from Istanbul to Birmingham on December 15th 2008. Prices look good too. Less than £200 return at certain times and the dearest appear to be no more than £250. |

| You can pick up cheap flights from Istanbul to Ercan or is that a little complicated for you? |

| No its not complicated for me, you might want to look at the gaps between flights to Istanbul and onward flights to the TRNC, if you like spending a lot of time in Istanbul airport then fair enough but I have flown into Istanbul from a few countries and believe me Istanbul airport maybe a novelty to some but not to me.

| The drive from Stansted or a couple of hours in the comfort of Istanbul airport? Sounds good choice to me. |

I used to work in the oil & gas industry and I guess from your nickname that you may do also. North Sea? Middle East? Asia?. Just finished 4 years in Azerbaijan.

| Yes just had two years in Kazakhstan but have had a few trips to Baku. Enjoyed it. Done India, Far East, Mid East, South Africa and a little time in Venezuela. Not your end of it though but oilfield supplies. Called it a day now and live here permanently. Had a place here for 10 years. Wasn't being sarcastic by the way about the being complicated bit. Read it back afterwards and it came out that way! Apologies! |

| Excellent news! Birmingham is such an easy airport to fly from. Have also been to Istanbul airport and it really is quite comfortable, but expensive for food! |
