I couldn't agree more. Turkish Airlines puts the rest of the European airlines to shame. Where else could you get a shorter trip with a full meal?

[@JackRoaming]

Agreed!

[@kent.music.]

The video is very useful as I am going to pay a visit to Istanbul this October, by taking Turkish Airline, thank you.

[@ramatgan1]

Just as importantly they give you free 23KG baggage allowance. What other airline in Europe gives you that.

[@markgellert1]

10/10 for the review. Flew Turkish from Toronto to IST a few years ago on the 777, and it was great. Tasty food, an amenity kit in economy, and a great IFE. Also the cabin crew members were much friendlier than on US airlines. The only big downside is transiting at IST which always takes ages.

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks a lot!

[@JamesKeller1993]

Another great airline review. Flew Turkish a few times and always found them very good.

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks!

I flew in April, paid for our seats and they changed them and didnt want to refund. Then in June my daughter flew to Dar es saleem conecting in Istanbul with Turkish all in the same airline. Unfortunately a passenger has an emergency and the plane stop in Rome, she lost the conection and nobody from Turkish Airlines could resolve her problem easy, after 9 hour they changed to Ethiopian Airlines, and when she arrived her destination, Turkish didnt put on board her bag, after 2 days she received it, and they dont want to take responsability of anything. The meals are good, the plane very comfy, but the agents who works at Costumer service dont treat people well and is difficult to communicate.

TK is the biggest user of A330s. great aircraft. Good report

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks!

I've just returned from the UK (Manchester) with Turkish Airlines economy class, via Istanbul to Cape Town South Africa - very satisfied, good food, friendly hostesses ,and easy passport control. My flight from Cape Town via Istanbul,with a Boeing 787 was just as good👍

[@captn_railaviation]

It’s incredible with Turkish Long haul planes on short haul. 3 times daily they fly to Berlin by A330 and some other flights with A321 and B737. Sometimes we get the A350 or the B777

[@JackRoaming]

Makes sense considering the large Turkish community in Berlin in addition to all the people connecting in Istanbul.

[@kellyrios8179]

What row is the best seat in the economy? We're flying to Bangkok from DFW but connecting at Istanbul for 4 hours then fly to Bangkok for another 9.5 hours in November. Thank you in advance!

[@asiyah-nour]

Do you know if there’s anyway to buy a ticket from London to Istanbul with a connecting domestic flight? I don’t want to have to go through immigration and security multiple times in one day

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

Bravo on the new Puma sneakers! I did not know until I looked it up that Efes beer was named after the city Ephesus in Turkey.

[@JackRoaming]

Hehe, you notice stuff😅 I've been to Ephesus 3 times but never made a video there.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

@@JackRoaming Note to self: Film everything, post on KZbin, make money. C'mon you know I'm going to notice your sneakers after the Norway Debacle.

[@JackRoaming]

@@loudmouthnewyorker2803 What debacle? Those old sneakers survived the North Cape. In fact, I still have them 😂.

[@loudmouthnewyorker2803]

@@JackRoaming No way! Those sneakers should be enshrined in the Oslo Hall of Fame of Endurance Shoes.

[@ravinduuuu]

Such a great, informative and helpful review! As someone who's about to fly Turkish for the first time, I have a small question. Would you say the tray table is large enough for a 16 inch laptop?

[@JackRoaming]

Thanks! It might go over the edges but there is enough space so it should be okay.

[@soleclue2408]

Can i know dos and donts as im flying internationally first time and i booked Turkish airlines economy as a Student 😅

[@melihkaanincecayir]

3:30 is so old they are flying mexico and australia

[@romualdojoven8992]

Hello Jack :-) ❤❤ i agree with your ratings. :-)

[@kevin19358]

1:41, What, really? That's really expensive. Did you take a uber or take the most expensive ticket train to the airport?

[@JohnNorris1977]

You are really cute 😊 Nice video!

[@blackbox1024]

IST Airport puts every single European airport to shame. Just flew in and out of that in the past month, everything is new & shining whereas the European ones look very old and outdated, can't even be in the same conversation. Very disappointed of the Brussels Airport too, it looks worse than those in third world countries.

[@halabeak6922]

Cool.. I hate Turkish airlines! Seats are way too close up to eachother that if person ahead of you reclines they're resting on your knees!!! Airport staff treat ppl differently depending on skin color, no one wanted to answer my questions and this lady said"why are you asking me about YOUR flight!" When I wanted to inquire about the gate change. But the worst part was that the flight was 6 hrs late and no one even apologized! -100/10
