~ Intrepid Travel ~ Five Stans Day 24
My Five Stans adventure is over and it was magical.
I departed Bishkek on Turkish Airlines at 5:55 am en route to New York (with another layover in Istanbul, Turkey).
- Bishkek to Istanbul, Turkey, Business Class, Airbus A321neo, 6 h 0 min
- Istanbul to New York JFK, Business Class, Boeing B777, 10 h 45 min
I shopped a bit in Istanbul Airport (I really like this airport) and completely broke down when I saw McDonald’s and had my first Quarter Pounder With Cheese in many, many years. It was good.

Westin New York at Times Square
Located by Times Square, this hotel was convenient. I arrived, checked in and went to sleep.
