This is bad news for any US citizens/residents/etc that are looking for ways back to the US until the 30 day ban lifts. I had recommended Turkish as they are outside of the Schengen but now if you are in any of the below countries, you will need to get to another Schengen country to begin your trip to the US with Turkish. The Lufthansa group is not flying many flights at all to the US anymore so Turkish is one of the best chances.
Here is the list of countries that Turkish Airlines canceled flights from/to, starting from March 14.
- Germany
- France
- Spain
- Norway
- Denmark
- Belgium
- Austria
- Sweden
- Netherlands
This in addition to the cancellations they had made to Italy (which are set to expire April 1). The above countries have cancellations from March 14 – April 17. Here are the details from Turkish about these cancellations.
