We left Perth 1:30pm and arrived at Doha at 6am. The clock went
back five hours on the way. We then waited two hours and flew to
Istanbul. A 4.5 hour flight. Waited another two hours and flew to
Ankara, a 40 min flight.
Most people were there already, have taking a direct flight from Doha to Ankara.
Not sure why we were given the scenic tour, perhaps the direct flight was full.
Qatar Airlines are pretty good although the food isn’t as good as some other airlines I’ve been on.
Istanbul Airport was as I remembered it from last year. Big queues at immigration and generally chaotic.
It's raining in Ankar but luckily, hotel has wi-fi.
