Last big trip of the year! Been flying too much recently with a couple of work trips. This was fairly last minute as I had an exam in September and didn't have mind space to plan anything until after the exam.
Since I booked tickets quite late, and due to some other conflicting schedules, we went with Turkish Airlines instead of SQ. Tickets were actually very affordable at less than $800 for a return trip to Istanbul. We also went with Turkish Airlines for a return trip from Istanbul to Kayseri Airport, which is one of the airports to get to Cappadocia.
