Watchful · 69

Strong middle option. Turkish Airlines MAD→IST→HKG avoids the Middle East advisory zone on both legs and is more time-efficient than the via-London routing.

How we score routes

We score each route based on whether it flies near or through warning areas, how much longer it is, and how many reroute options exist — based on official flight warnings.

Some routes aren't covered yet — if yours is missing, that's a gap, not an assessment.

Scores compare route options; they are not safety ratings. Always check with your airline before booking.
