What counts as "short-haul" from Izmir?

We filter to flights under 3 hours one-way. That threshold is based on a practical test: a 3-hour flight allows you to leave Izmir on a Friday evening after work and arrive in time for dinner at your destination — leaving the full Saturday and Sunday free. Flights longer than 3 hours start to eat meaningfully into a 2-night break.
