Ok, so I looked at some airlines with this option; Istanbul airport to Japan Narita airport.
A return ticket; cheapest price $3200! That is three grand and 2 hundred US dollars.
I really don't like this peak oil thing. I hope everything will be like normal.
Now I can't visit any of my friends around the world. |

To Japan? 
Yeah I'm seeing tickets overseas go up 40-100 %-- soon only the rich will fly to distant places. Say goodbye to overseas travel middle class... or maybe we'll just put it on the credit card... |

The world would be much better off if all air travel ceased immediately. For one thing, the risk of a global epidemic would fall like a rock. For another, it would put a nail in the coffin of globalization, which has devastated human cultures and the environment alike.
The world needs to start getting larger again.

I wonder how many days it would take to get to the Trans-Siberian railway then across to the Pacific then take a boat across to Japan. Several I should imagine. Or else a boat from Turkey to Japan (at least there's the Suez to take a short cut). Only a few decades ago these were the only alternatives. Distant travel was something really special. |

Turkishguy, go to THIS website
Enter FROM: Istanbul and TO: Narita
You'll see that you can still buy a return ticket for as low as $1134!
