Visiting Ashgabat on a return ticket from Prague
My company has business partners in Ashgabat, so I have already visited Turkemenistan and their office in Ashgabat several times. The last time I flew to Ashgabat with an airfare ticket issued for the economic class from Prague to Moscow, and for business class from Moscow to Ashgabat. The service aboard Aeroflot was great. This ticket was a reward by my boss for my work and liason with Ashgabat. My ticket back from Ashgabat was for the business class on both lags.
