Trip Report | Best European Airline | Istanbul - Zagreb | Turkish Airlines Economy Class | B737-800

[@radloglutar]

Your review was awesome. Never expected B737 to be this premium. In India, even getting a clean seat is sometimes tough. Cheers

[@abirmajumdar2041]

soo tru broo :(

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Well, this is quite special for an airline in Europe.. it’s mostly boring with barely any legroom. And I loved Akasa’s B737’s!

[@MrCoton.]

You have vistara in India it's very good airlines company

[@radloglutar]

@@MrCoton. Ya but that's A320 neos. The carriers which operate 737s are very poor maintained. (Except Akasa Air currently)

[@av621]

@@radloglutar I think SpiceJet is the only other airline operating 737s apart from Akasa (Vistara has 2 of them).

[@patricktagle1555]

This is my first time watching your vids. I love the simplicity yet interesting! I particularly love the info on the origins/destinations of the planes you see outside as well as the explanations of the plane’s mechanics. Keep it up. Cheers from the Philippines!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Welcome to the club! I am grateful for your comment. I always wondered where planes are going to/coming from so I decided to add that info. Regards back from Dubai and I expect to visit Philippines in November, so stay tuned!

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

Nice video! 🤩 The breakfast btw will be changed. There are already 4 different ones but that bar will be set to 8 👏

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot for the info! Out of 4 you said I keep repeating the same 2. 8 sounds cool, looking forward to the next one!

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

There is also a variant with yoghurt and Toast 😊 More coming soon! :)

[@nicklennaerts4791]

It’s almost like TK flies every variant of every plane when it comes to the narrow body airbus and Boeings, not to mention the diffferent engined on the 330s

[@TheLayoverAviation]

They’ll just buy just about anything. New, second hand, different engines, they just don’t care. Maintenance must be expensive!

[@indiantechhub6150]

This time I have to very long for your videos… its a gift for me that seated in my home i can explore worlds best airplanes and airlines… Appreciate your detailed information

[@asp_shadows2nd900]

At 7:50 i believe the flaps were set to 40 as part of the de-icing checklist to check if the flaps correctly deploy or not. I don't really know much about b737s so this is just a guess 😅 Awesome video!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

It looks like that’s the deal indeed, but I don’t recall ever seeing that in any checklist, so I think it’s just perhaps a pilots preference? But whatever ensures safety, I like!

[@sebinamuwanga]

I flew TK to Berlin 8 years ago and the inflight service was awesome! They had a chef onboard on the Istanbul to Berlin sector and the food was great. I flew out of Ataturk Havalimani, a little crowded but okay. I have not experienced the new Istanbul airport, which I am told is massive. Personally, I prefer smaller airports because of the long exhausting walks to the boarding gates.

De ice and anti ice are 2 different things, looks like you only got de iced here. When was this trip?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Two different things indeed. This was around Feb I think..

[@justfIy]

This is some pretty sick bird spotting🤙

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Lots of planes in Istanbul!

[@SMRTSBST]

When I was flying TK back home (to Singapore) from Poland they directed me straight into the boarding gates area (once we landed in Istanbul) instead of bothering to ask me to go through another round of security screening

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Really? I’ve only experienced that a few times on intra european connections.. Never in Istanbul, I always have to go through very long security lines..

[@SMRTSBST]

@@TheLayoverAviation meaning they always redirected u straight into the boarding gates area?

[@tabishzaidi6515]

I fly regularly from Varna- DXB using Tk with a connection at IST and what is interesting to me is when I am flying from Varna to Dubai at Istanbul I don't have to go through security but while I am flying from Dubai to Varna with a connection at Istanbul I always have to go through long security lines.

[@emrepeker09]

The reason is that pax are being differentiated on arrival and those from "safe countries" are allowed to skip the security check

[@ItaiGanor]

great video buddy! tk is a very nice airline, I flow with them from tlv to Stockholm via massive ist, and it was a good experience!

[@RoyalMatchman668]

[@BlndAlan]

[@TheLayoverAviation]

[@munkboyaviation]

From what I've seen TK's 737 have quieter cabins than the 737 on other airlines. For instance I know Ryanair has a louder cabin despite same aircraft type

[@TheLayoverAviation]

See, I noticed the same with some airlines so I agree. Air France has way quieter A320’s vs Vueling’s A320’s (I used to fly them all the time almost daily 15 years ago). And I think it might be because of sound insulation material, otherwise I can’t explain it!

[@munkboyaviation]

They use a gigantic B777 to Tel Aviv which is only two hours away but a smaller A321 for Lisbon?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Demand is high to Tel Aviv! And they fly there multiple times a day. EK will soon fly there 3 times a day on the B777 yet only 1 daily to LIS. Money talks!

[@LINJ638]

@@TheLayoverAviation Fair Enough. I already seen a 40 minute movie of the SFO-DOH flight the longest ever on your channel, so it is bit redundant if you saw the same flight and same A350-100 type rating plane. And why do you so much QR flight footages???

What is the charge for de-icing?? Anyone, anyone???

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Depends on the contracts that one might have, but for a B737 it should be in the $5,000-$10,000 range. I was told once how much it costs for EK to deice an A380 in Amsterdam but I forgot the number. It was crazy. It could perfectly have been tens of thousands of Euro’s.
