| Chartered plane probably, due to one of CTA's being out of service. They would be limited to having to use a Turkish based airline for the charter due to the flight originating in TRNC. |

| Hi all,
This is what is called a 'wet lease'.
It is common practice where the regular airline has a problem covering the route. In this difficult trading period for airlines, the charter companies will take what ever business they can get.

| To be honest I would just be glad I got here, does it matter which Airline carries you? the main thing is you got to your destination. |

| CTA do not 'sell' drinks, it's included in the part of the 'break down' ticket price where it says SERVICE! My last adventure with them there was only a choice of gin or whisky but still had the audacity to try and flog 'Duty Free's'!
Atlas-jet are more used to internal Turkey flights (dry) and the few International flights they run are predominantly to Muslim Countries (dry) or run on a Charter basis (Germany), pay as you go!

| Korean Air were good, drank beer non-stop London to Brisbane without a problem. At one stage the head steward asked if I was okay, realised I was sober, and served me another beer! I don't think they had any notion of how much a Kiwi can consume!
"Excellence in Flight"? Not quite, but very good and would recommend!

| Andy-f re: Your message 8 is spot on and they didn't disappoint on the changeover at Dalaman, huge improvement on CTA.
The week before on the way out with CTA, no wine or beer????? |
