BRUTALLY HONEST | Turkish Airlines Economy Dubai-Istanbul-Vienna on the old A330 and the new 737MAX!

[@jeffersonmason3780]

Turkish airlines has got to have the BEST in-flight catering for economy passengers. Real cutlery and you always get fresh rolls, beats anything you would get on a US carrier

[@rmramirezc]

Las aerolíneas estadounidenses son una letrina, lo único bueno es que a veces consigues buenas ofertas.

[@waaahl]

SQ and Thai are also up there.

[@23fxke]

Yep

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

Recently flew Turkish Airlines. I really don't know what the fuss is about. They are extremely unfriendly, especially for families flying with a toddler. None of their staff seem to know what an infant car seat is. Crew seemed to get offended at every question we asked. Which weren't many. We only asked for milk from time to time. Food was bland. Cabin temperatures boiling hot. Yes, never flying Turkish ever again.

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

Relative to a US carrier, sure. Most US airlines are crap because they aren't competing with anyone for routes. But when it comes to Turkish against Qatar, the latter is on a different planet.

[@thexlawa]

About fast track, in Turkey and especially in İstanbul they are always waiting you to take you to the fast track for connection flights for Turkish Airlines passengers, so most probably you will not miss your connection flight. Once it took 8-9 minutes to enter airport from the plane, pass passport control and catch domestic connection flight

[@Sbottish]

Are we not gonna talk about that absolute butter of a landing on the a330?????

[@bernardwallace4165]

Good video. Turkish Airlines represents the Turkish nation well. Not perfect but a very kind and hospitable people with generosity of spirit and welcome.

[@jeffreyanderson1851]

I flew Turkish a few years ago because of the price, but I didn’t expect to be on a superlative airline. Great plane, food and service, and Ataturk Airport was a pleasure.

[@syed2194]

Flying this plane next week EWR-IST, not sure if its the old A330 or a newer one but good to see something to set my expectations.

[@simply_aviation]

We also have a Tripreport on our channel of an Istanbul to Nairobi flight which was operated by an A330 with the new cabin, if you want to see what the other one is like… :)

Flying Turkish for my first flights and my first trip back to the US since before the pandemic in May (TBS-IST-BOS). Can't wait! Will be my first time in the new Istanbul airport too, last time I flew through there, it was three days before they stopped flights at Ataturk.

[@kasyon3150]

My favourite airline! Something not mentioned is the professionalism of the cabin crew. Ive flown some airlines which have had rude and condescending cabin crew. Was never an issue with Turkish airlines since they train their cabin crew to a high standard.

In Sept I flew on a 13 hr Turkish Airlines flight Ist-IAH and they gave me a hygiene kit with 3 masks and one bottle of hand sanitizer. They said that you are supposed to change the mask every 4 hours.

[@superbrownsheep3777]

I flew on a 12 hour flight from chicago to Istanbul. The flight was good for me but we were originally gonna take a direct flight on air India from chicago to Hyderabad but since my brother hated flying on that airline (mostly bc of the peanuts which he is allergic to) we had to fly on Turkish and Oman air and we had an 8 hour layover at each airport. This is why my father wanted to take air India because it took only 19 hours to get to Hyderabad from chicago and back but we instead took a 2 stop flight to Hyderabad and it took more than 48 hours to get to Hyderabad and back.

I may or may not have flew the same flight with you- my flight was also in spent from ist to iah

[@drspubg4907]

in minute 12:20 i have a question, if they lost a baggage, what happens to the baggage. Will it just stay in the airport?, it will be put in the lost and found? or the owner does not really care about it and just leaves it alone and just buys new luggage.

[@brianmcdonald6519]

Most airlines will have your home address, and will return your luggage to you once it is located. If it is at the start of your travel, they will forward it to your destination.

[@abdulvahityukselen1576]

no it happend to me once. If your luggage still in airplane or they lost it you are giving your adress to them, later when they find it they post it to your home.

Hi, I never flown Turkish Airlines before, But perhaps if their fares are competitive enough we may consider flying them to UK, but that depends on connecting flights and frequency. Looking at the product from your videos, it definitely looks nice, Good IFE, good screen size, the food I'm glad to hear it was nice however two options would have been way nicer, comparing with my experience on Emirates Airlines, in my opinion Emirates has the better product, but this Turkish Airlines product is better than the A319 product that Qatar Airways offered in Economy.
