I'm also thinking about Turkish. I asked some ticketing agencies to inform me the suitable time of booking the tickets and they said November or December would be okay to book the tickets.Yet to get the PP back. Waiting to get any update. No dates are finalised. Have you planned any date? Let us discuss and try to accompany eachother. Atleast we won't be feeling bore in this long journey. Which airlines will you be flying with? I am thinking of Turkish.
