Best Istanbul to Bangkok option despite crossing the warning area. No hub connection means no structural penalty on top of the airspace risk. The cap at 60 applies to all three routes because all cross the warning area — but Direct has the cleanest structural score.
This route crosses Iraqi and Iranian airspace, which falls within the Middle East flight warning area. Turkish Airlines continues to operate, but the advisory applies.
