Turkish Airlines

✅ 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

✅ Verified Review | Do not opt for Turkish Airlines especially when you have a layover. Our layover was 1.5 hours in Istanbul while going from Berlin to Mumbai and back. In both cases, the first flight was late, giving us barely 30 mins to catch the next flight whose gate was really far away. The connecting flight was also Turkish Airlines, but still there was no support at the airport even though their first flight was late. While coming back from Mumbai, at Istanbul, there was an additional security check and the queue was long and our flight was in 15 mins! Nobody gave us any support there either and by some luck, one of the fellow passengers in the same situation was told by people waiting with us that we can go to priority security check if the flight is leaving soon. There was no sign for this or any indication from either Turkish Airlines or airport staff. We barely made it to the next flight 2 mins before gate closed even though the aircraft didn't take off for next 30 mins or more. I regret choosing Turkish Airlines and their lack of punctuality and support.

✅ Verified Review | Tel Aviv to Milan via Istanbul SAW return with Turkish Airlines. An early start Tel Aviv to Istanbul, 0620, Boeing 738, the usual service, nicely groomed flight attendants, polite, helpful. A cold snack and arrival in stormy Istanbul just to disembark the aircraft by uncovered stairs, nice wet welcome to Turkey. Transit area very crowded, mostly with Pegasus passengers. Istanbul to Milan, again by bus and this time covered stairs. A320, again, nice crew, hot lunch, full bar service. Arrival at MXP with a full security screening as if we were about to depart. Never been screened before anywhere entering a country. May have to do with our origin. Return, a quick friendly check in at Milan but terrible long lines at security and passport control. No gate posted for the departure until 55 min before, so uneasy walking around not knowing which wing to proceed to. Long tarmac delay with no explanation from TK. In general their English annoucements are difficult to understand. A320 with a friendly crew, nice hot lunch and a nice bar service. This time a jetway in Istanbul, good shopping, but staff does not speak English. Is this an International airport? Then get personnel who can assist in English. Istanbul to Tel Aviv on an A320, every seat taken, very bumpy, cabin too warm (seems to be the norm with TK) but crew managed to serve a nice cold snack and a full bar service.

✅ Verified Review | I enjoyed both of my 12 hour flights to Istanbul and back to Singapore with Turkish Airlines. The food was excellent, more than enough in-flight entertainment. Good service, the cabin crew were there to assist when needed. Overall a very positive experience.
