Nonstop IST to ALP

Turkish Airlines has released their updated Summer Timetable with the information on the flights to Aleppo (Halab). The times are terrible, flights departing Aleppo (to Istanbul Ataturk) are available on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday at 3:45AM and returning to Aleppo on Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 11:50pm. The cost of the flight booked two weeks in advance is currently 475YTL, which is somewhat expensive. Flying to Antakya cost 250YTL, however, the cost (and inconvenience) of traveling across the boarder is avoided by flying directly to Aleppo.
