TK Adds EWR Flights

[KSMH]

In some positive news, TK is starting an EWR route as per OMAAT.

I find that negative, but good for Lakewood people.

Negative? They are adding EWR, will still fly to JFK 3x daily.

Till they dont.

[KSMH]

For PPL of NJ and Upstate NY, EWR is usually more convenient.

FTFY

If they didn't think they can make money with 4 flights from NYC, wouldn't they just move one flight from JFK to EWR?

United didnt sell their slots at jfk for awhile. But they did eventually.

TK doesn't have their hub in EWR as United.

What in the world?
Flights times stink for connections, which is the whole point of EWR.

Supposedly this flight is supposed to be a feeder for IST and lines up perfectly with their IST banks in both directions.

So why EWR?

So why EWR?

Targeting NJ and Upstate NY?

Will this be a positive for LM HC? Though TK saver availability isn't what it used to be.

On a side note, despite being 2-2-2, I find the TK J seats better than many of the 1-2-1  configurations (UA Polaris). I find that many of the 1-2-1 (reverse herringbone or herringbone) the seat is too narrow to sleep comfortably. Not to mention the footwell issue. Though TK 777 is better than the A330 with the same config.

Agree with seat part. I rather have a wide open seat then a closed narrow one.

What specifically is better on the 777?

Yup! EWR is the only NYC airport with flights to/from ALB, for example.

Wider.

[elya]

Wider.

Extra seat across though.

Correct.
