I live in London, and know that sometimes it is cheap through Zurich, Rome, or Vienna, try those destinations rather than Turkey. I travelled through Vienna and the airport is smallish and the plane is held up on the continuation if the 1st plane is delayed. There was a duty free shop that is cheaper than the average Duty Free. 12 hours is a very long time to sit around waiting in an unfamiliar territory. But then, I can understand in these difficult times to try to save money with kids flying back and forth for Yom Tovim to Yeshiva/Sems. At the end of the day, we have to have emunah and bitachon with much siyaata dishmaya. Try to find out if there are Chabad there and maybe they can stay there overnight, and not stay in a airport. Then, they would be able to have a kosher, warm meal and a bed with a frum family who would welcome them with open arms. Be matzliach and zai gebenched to make the right decisions always.
