Not all layovers are equal. Time on the ground in Bishkek (FRU) can either restore a crew or quietly erode their next duty. Aircrew Travel plans Bishkek layovers around the crew, not the other way round.
Protecting the rest window
Sleep is the priority. Crews arriving into Bishkek are often mid-way through a chain of time-zone shifts, so a dark, quiet, cool room close to FRU does more for safety than anything else on the layover.
