22-Hour Flights: Turkish Airlines Unveils This New Ultra-Long Route [Map]

Star Alliance carrier Turkish Airlines has made a change to its operation between Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD). Instead of its current routing via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), the service will now operate via Singapore Changi Airport (SIN).
