Why book

Best balance for AMS→DEL. Avoids the Middle East advisory zone on both legs; Istanbul hub is geographically efficient between Amsterdam and Delhi.

The catch

Goes close to a warning area but does not cross it

Worth knowing

IST–DEL second leg routes over Iran/Pakistan — level-1 peripheral advisory. Turkish Airlines has good IST–DEL frequency with Air India connections.

Top option: avoids the advisory zone and has better pressure score (77) than direct or Gulf options (53). The same argument that applies to LHR→DEL via Istanbul applies here.

AMS–IST avoids advisory exposure entirely. IST–DEL routes south via Iran/Pakistan with peripheral level-1 exposure only.
Pressure score advantage (77 vs 53) is the clearest argument for this option over the direct or Dubai routing.
Hub connection introduces missed-connection risk, partly offset by Turkish Airlines' reliable IST hub.
