\nI had to say, since both ends of our flight were at the better airports, plus Turkish Airlines was not the big-sale-onboard budget carriers, the price of our ticket did seemed a little bit high compared with our other transportations in Turkey.<\/p>\n
It seemed that Turkish airports did have heightened securities after the blast at Ataturk Airport. Our shuttle van had to go through bomb-detecting officers before entering this airport of rather humble size.<\/p>\n <\/br>Nevsehir Airport Entrance<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Nevsehir Airport Stair Cars<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Turkish Airlines A320 (TC-JUI) Arriving<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Nevsehir Airport Departure Hall<\/br>It\u2019s the first time that I had to stand in the airport to wait for a flight.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>Passengers Leaving Turkish Airlines A320 (TC-JUI)<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Turkish Airlines A320 (TC-JUI) Serviced<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Boarding Passes<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Boarding Turkish Airlines A320 (TC-JUI) from the Rear<\/p><\/div> By the way, I checked FlightAware.com and found that August 28th seemed to be the only day when Turkish Airlines operated this route with an A320, out of the usual A319\u2019s.

\nNevsehir Airport\u2019s so small that it consists of some chairs outside check-in counters, a security checkpoint and some more chairs. The bad thing was that, there seemed to be more passengers than chairs.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nSince Nevsehir Airport was so small, there was no need for shuttle buses, as passengers walk themselves to\/from the plane.
\nActually, this A320 was serviced with two stairs for speedy transition. However, most passengers, after taking photos with the plane (since there was some beautiful sunset in the sky, and nobody cares since Nevsehir Airport was so small), all seemed to prefer cramming for the front door. <\/p>\n

\nI picked a window seat on the left, so as to enjoy glows of sunset.

\nUsually before landing, the cabin crew would just dim the cabin lights. But during this flight, the cabin crew just shut down all the lights completely, for which I was more than delighted since I could snap some magnificent shots of Istanbul at night.

\nOur plane was parked on some distant apron, so again the shuttle bus took us on a tour of Ataturk Airport.
\nThe good and unique thing about Ataturk Airport shuttle buses was that, their air-conditioner seemed to emit perfumes at the same time. I’m sure that’s one of the ways to make a 10-minute standing tour of an airport “classy”.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nThe crowded domestic baggage claim area of Ataturk Airport gave me the first impression of an airport that\u2019s eager for expansion (but couldn\u2019t due to space limitation). It\u2019s not common for me to see three or four flights scheduled for the same belt. Thank God, I was able to locate a few seats not far from the belts.
\nThen we headed for the metro station, which consisted of a long walk passing along international terminal. Thank God, we didn\u2019t bump into any bomb-wielding terrorists.
