Turkish Airlines

✅ Verified Review | Tallin to Singapore via Istanbul. It was my first time flying with Turkish on long haul flight and I was expecting a good experience. The food was bad on all the flights we had. The A330-300 from Istanbul to Singapore seemed old. The touch screens were not working normally, only with the remote that made navigation uncomfortable. The in-flight entertainment was really good though. It would have been nice if cabin crew would have offered drinks and snacks during the flight in addition to the dinner and breakfast served. On the way back from Singapore to Istanbul we were seated in the isle and it was just so cold, I was sitting with a hat, scarf, sweater, cardigan, blanket on me and my wool coat way over my head and I still got sore throat.

✅ Verified Review | Kiev to Istanbul. The service is surely not bad, but is not as high and as expected. A321 with very narrow, uncomfortable seats, and not pleasant to fly. InFlight Entairtainment didn't want to work. At Istambul Airport all our boarding and de boarding were serviced by bus, and it takes a lot of time. The crew was not very attentive, but was professional however.

✅ Verified Review | Birmingham to Istanbul. What a revelation this turned out to be. A great seat pitch (34" on Boeing 737-900ER) which as far as I know is unrivaled on most European economy class. A tasty dinner including soft drinks and wine was included and the cabin crew were excellent. Outbound and return both left and arrived on time. This offering was so far ahead of British Airways that choosing which one to use on this route is a no brainer.

✅ Verified Review | Toronto to Mumbai via Istanbul. Great people, great service. Staff was friendly and I enjoyed service. I have comfort on the way to Mumbai. I would recommend to go for it. There was problem with wifi connection but cabin crew helped and resolved it. I look forward to go for it again.

✅ Verified Review | Johannesburg to Gatwick via Istanbul. Seats were the smallest we have come across which was no fun on a 10 hour first leg. Staff unpleasant and food worse. Worst of all was the conflicting advice. We were told at check in no laptops or tablets in hand luggage, but they failed to mention battery pack phone chargers are not permitted. Ours were confiscated although people with laptops and tablets were permitted to hand these over and collect on arrival. Lack of customer advice mean this won't be an airline we will use again or recommend.

✅ Verified Review | Istanbul to Lagos. During the boarding flight attendant has changed our window seats by exit in a row of two to non exit seats in the middle of the row of four. We did not check the seat but asked her if the change is to equivalent seats and got a yes - to only see later that she misinformed us. The food selection was not available. Good enterntsinmrnt system but some times has problems and too much announcements. Out of 4 flights one suitcase damaged a lot, one delayed by two days. Staff in the plane friendly and helpful

✅ Verified Review | I was quite impressed with my first experience of Turkish Airlines flying from Edinburgh to Istanbul. Despite being a Boeing 737, the interior was beautiful and up-to-date with comfortable seats. The inflight service for economy was great and the food was delicious and nicely served. The entertainment system was full of options and very quick and responsive. I would definitely fly with Turkish Airlines again! The only downside is the flight schedule of this particular flight - arriving around midnight in Istanbul. I would much rather leave later and make it an overnight flight, arriving early in the morning.

✅ Verified Review | It was my first time flying Turkish Airline and it was a very pleasant journey. The flight I took was from London Heathrow to Taipei via Istanbul. I chose this airline simply because it provided the best route/price for the date that I had to fly. The staff were all diligent, kind and helpful. As well, I was surprised to have received the amenity kit sitting on an economy seat. They also gave out a warm hand towel and menu before serving meals which I find very considerate.

✅ Verified Review | Flew Istanbul to Hurghada. Convenient airside access through the lounge appreciated. The lounge offering good range of food and beverage options late into the night. Could do with some variations though. Orderly boarding process with pre-flight announcements and priority enforcement. Was upgraded due to overbooking which was a nice surprise. Full cabin. The crew were excellent. Pre take off drinks, a nice breakfast with two warm choices and after meal drinks service provided. Handed out tablets with pre-loaded entertainment and good quality headphones for this 2.5 hour hop on this A321 with empty middle seat configured J Cabin. Very smooth landing despite rough weather and on time arrival. Kudos to the flight-deck. Excellent overall flying experience with Turkish Airlines on this journey.

✅ Verified Review | Tbilisi to Amsterdam via Istanbul. Flew TK for the first time (return flight) and I found it a bit overrated. Service and reliability is no better than most EU majors, and overall the comfort and service looks from another time. The seats and interiors are really old, and very narrow on the A320 models (a kid won't even fit). Service is not really outstanding like you read in reviews, just basic and a bit cheap. Cabin staff can be quite stiff and really not friendly, which does not give the best sense of welcome claimed in their marketing. However the ground staff in Istanbul is quite outstanding and efficient! Our flight was 40min late with only 1 hour connection, but someone waits at the exit gate and takes groups of pax with short connections directly to the next gate; within 5min you are in the next flight which is unusual for connecting trips. My travel partner had also forget his tablet in the first leg aircraft from TBS, and immediately the gate staff had it collected and brought directly to the boarding of the next leg while we were boarding. Very smooth and ultra efficient! Even Lufthansa is not that efficient from my experience. At least they make it up in the aggressive pricing
