Why book

Best option for AMS→BKK. Avoids Gulf exposure on both legs. KLM feeds well into Istanbul for Turkish Airlines' BKK service.

The catch

Goes close to a warning area but does not cross it

Worth knowing

IST–BKK routes east via Iran/Pakistan — level-1 peripheral advisory. If Iran escalates short-notice NOTAMs, the IST–BKK leg may need mid-route adjustment. TK has 4+ daily IST–BKK services, giving strong rebooking depth.
