I took Turkish Airlines last Oct to Istanbul from Singapore. The service and the food was good. The seat space were fine as well. I'm glad I chose Turkish Airlines over Singapore Airlines. Apart from the price difference, the food was better than SQ, service was just slightly below SQ. Would definitely fly with them if I have the option to again.

Just booked Turkish airlines Rome to Dallas, TX (overnight Istanbul layover to sightsee). This video made me feel good about my choice. Thank you .

I flew with Turkish business and economy class to London in January , it was really good experience, food, staff …

I always fly with Turkish and I am very happy with them. I 100% recommend them.

Just booked my first international flight from Turkish Airlines as a student in Economy.. i dont know what to expect 😅

Wonderful, tips taken , I flew Turkish airlines from South Africa and domestic flights inland a few times, no problem whatsoever, just flying is to much tiring , services were great to .

I appreciate this review. Me and my bestfriend decided to fly Turkish to go to Dubai and we need an updated/honest review. Thank you!

I really enjoyed them as well! i am an anxious flyer and I really felt safe with them

I had the pleasure of fly Turkish Airlines I believe 2 times in trips to Istanbul on the way to Kenya. I was quite impressed to say the least. I was very happy for being 6 foot 5. Comfort is much better than say Lufthansa... WHICH I will NEVER fly again. Legroom acceptable and food I found to be very good. I also like how you can see cams from the front and bottom of the airliner.

I'd recently flown on a to-and-fro flight from Singapore to Istanbul, on Turkish Airlines, on the 777-300ER. The flight was decent but here are the issues on the forward journey: 1. The male attendant servicing my area had an attitude problem, probably due to the high inflation in Turkey, the failed rebellions or something. He was cocky and not polite (different from being rude). I was sitting next to the aisle, but when it came to asking me for my meal preference, he'd said, 'Chicken or fish?', instead of the longer polite question. He was serving the passengers as if he was he's just getting through the day; there was no smile and no extra care. 2. As mentioned by Dan, it seemed as if once the meal trays were collected, the attendants just disappear for several hours. 3. There was no fan from the ceiling, something that would be helpful when the air-conditioning wasn't working fully yet. The 767 and 757 had such fans and this deficiency felt like the 777 was older than those two models. 4. The touch screen was really outdated and not sensitive. I had to use a combination of the screen and the dirty-looking cabled controller to choose the media I'd wanted to watch. 5. The screen was also of low resolution. On the return journey, I had a window seat. The issues were: 1. The attendants had disappeared, once the trays were collected. When I'd needed some water, I'd pressed the attendant lights and bell, but nobody came even after a while. I'd pressed it again and, no one came again. On my third attempt, an attendant did come, but I think she was just coincidentally passing by. Together with my much earlier issue with the attendant, it is as if the entire Turkish Airlines attendant staff community had developed an attitude problem! 2. The table was slanted, which meant the tray kept sliding into my body. Why did aircraft maintenance not spot this issue? The main positives for both flights was the relatively good food and the well-stuffed amenities bag that had lip balm, ear plugs, toothbrush and paste, slippers and socks. Back to the negatives - The Istanbul Airport was definitely robbing the passengers with their ridiculously priced items and, what's more, in Euros, rather than Turkish Lira! I didn't buy a single thing!

We're flying with TA in July looking forward tnx to your video

Perfect timing for this video. I will be in instanbul next month and will be flying business class from IST to Cologne. Hope everything is ok with your family in Mexico!

Espero que en la vuelta te regalen el upgrade! #turkishairlines porque esta review es sincera y te muestra porque TKA es la mejor opción para viajar económico y con calidad! 🧿

An extra 1000 usd for a 14 hour flight. I would have done business class. If it was return as well. That is a excellent deal compared to other airlines. Love your vloggs😊

Excelente video, He viajado en varias ocasiones con esta aerolínea (Cancún-Estambul) y hasta ahora, excelente servicio. Incluso , cuando tienes una escala entre 6 -24 horas te brindan opción de tours sin costo. (Touristanbul) súper recomendable ☺️😉 Saludos 🎉

One of my favourite airline ❤ for going to Pakistan 🇵🇰 frm London

Hello Bery! I have never flown with Turkish Airlines but I think that they are ok. Then you are our best advisor and your info are always so well detailed, so that we have just to follow them to be sure that our travel to Turkey will be fantastic. Great video. Thanks a lot

Thank you Bery u are always the best advisor and ur reviews are always honest. I hope Turkish Airline will sponsor you as many people travel to Turkey based on ur advices. Many thanks again. I hope to bump into u in Oct while spending a month exploring 🇹🇷

Awesome video! For me they are the best airline

Hope that all is well with your family in Mexico, Bery. Turkish Airlines is a great option to reach smaller European destinations, to which major airlines in Asia do not fly direct. It can also be at a reasonable price point as well, if you plan well. Luggage allowance is generous (30kg on economy, when not flying to/from the Americas), when compared to most other airlines. Service is a bit brusque, but not rude. Food and amenities are pretty decent, when compared to their key competitors. Entertainment is good. US$1,000 to upgrade to business class was a good deal, but always understand that money can also be well spent on something else. Wishing you a good visit home, Bery.

Hi Bery, have you done a video of Cannakale, Gallipoli? thanks

Flew from Hong Kong to UK using TK. The flight was so hot and stuffy, to the point that I couldn’t even use my neck pillow because I was overheating. The Turkish guy next to me sat diagonally the whole time because his leg couldn’t fit into the space in front of him. I do like their amenities kit though, it’s one of the prettiest I’ve ever seen, got one that had Turkish scenic prints on it.

I flow from Rome to Sao Paulo BR via Istanbul. Great fare.. great airline!

I've taken TA so far so good. A satisfied TA flyer🇹🇷

Turkish Airlines is one of the best, also the meals are much better than most of the other airlines I have traveled.

The husband’s note in the beginning lol I agree

im going to Seoul with TurkishAirlines i have only used emirates but this one was cheaper and this video make me happy with my choice! mine is a from spain to seoul and is 4 planes so i will have a long experiance with them!

You are the best. Your analysis about Turkish Airline is topnotch. My family and I will be traveling to Rome from Chicago via Istanbul for vacation next month. Your video about Turkish Airlines has given us good assurance what to expect on our trip by flying Turkish Airlines. Other European Airlines ticket fares are too expensive (plus extra fee for check in baggage) but Turkish Airlines tickets are ffordable and inexpensive with free checked in baggage for my family.. I really appreciate you for this video. Thank you very much.

TK is the best. I've flown with them so many times.

I was wondering if you can do a video on the new regulations taking affect May 1st in Turkiye. I am having a hard time finding an apartment for September due to the changes.

V mice however they didnt pay much attention to my bag it never left Istsnbul had to wait 2 weeks wih zero compensation in Mexico.. never again. I even emphasised politely re change of planes yet...😢😢

We are flying in three weeks from Istanbul to Melbourne Australia. We go to Singapore first then Melbourne. Same plane that takes 18 hours with one and a half hours in Singapore. Do you know if we get off the plane in Singapore for the short period? Thank you.

Nice report pls if your final destination is Mex city pls do us review if possible thank you

Safe take-off and safe landing ♥️

Hola Bery, leyendo los comentarios quiero decir algo: una amiga viajaba con su novio desde Miami a la India hace un mes y dias antes les cancelaron el vuelo por la Aerolínea Turkis. Escribieron muchos e-mail, sin respuesta alguna, por lo que les tocó comprar de nuevo en otra aerolínea. Ahora, pasado el mes y regresando de su viaje, les reembolsaron 800 dolares a cada uno y el tiquete les habia costado 1050 dólares a cada uno. Conclusion. La Aerolinea aparte que es la que cancela el vuelo, el cliente pierde mas dinero del que habia pagado. No me parece que actúen correctamente. Gracias Bery por el video. Sólo quería comentar que no todo es color de rosa. Abrazos❤

I think it depends on the type of plane for your flight, doesnt it? They are all different i believe. I have a flight coming up from USA to IST and it's different types of planes on each direction! The seat diagrams are totally different.

how much for extra 2 check in bags?

La comida de TA es sorprendente buena... dios cuando ponen la mouse de chocolate blanco... 🤤

Woow ❤❤❤❤❤✈️✈️✈️✈️

I have Nepali passport and I am traveling to Toronto Canada from Nepal. Both airplane is Turkish airlines. My 27 hour transit on Istanbul airport. Do I required transit visa or e visa? Yo stay inside the airport?

Can you talk about the in flight baggage? Like can I have a carry on as well as a personal item like a backpack? I’m not sure how it works.

I have one important question, does it have usb for the new type C charger of IPhone??? (Someone that recently went in economy can you let me know)

I just flew to Turkiye (Istanbul) using Turkish Airlines for the first time ever just 2 weeks ago. Seeing various reviews and ratings, it kinds of taking the risk for us. But I was amazed and my great experience proofed the negative reviews wrong. Great inflight entertainment (par with my other regular airlines like SQ, Qatar and Emirates), pretty much good meal (they gave me my favourite kofte with spice pilav), great service crew, and great pre and after landing services as well. And yes, the price was slightly affordable compared to other flights. This will not be my last one flying with Turkish Airlines.

Please, can someone tell me if the metro line runs from the airport to the city center, if it is in operation at all and what is the number of the line, is there a map of the metro line.

Idk if it’s me but the flights be so hot normally planes be too cold but not tk

Turkish airlines has come a long way. They are the best choice for economy class.

Nice Sister ❤❤❤

@BeryIstanbulTips did you pick your seat ahead of time?

Hi Beryl thank you for sharing your expertise im watching most of you videos they are amazing and professional ill watch more of them in future I've one request for you could you please include where can we find to buy affordable and quality children's clothing and adults closing for both gender type and quality hijabs (head scarfs ) as a local person you're according to your videos you are professional im looking forward to hearing from you please keep it up your videos will help a lot of tourists i hope 🙏

The food was great, and the professionalism of the crew was exemplary. However, the 787s they fly from Chicago to Istanbul have horrible seat space....seats capable of reclining way too far back. I had a hard time eating my meal due to the seat in front of me. Their shorter flight 737s have pretty good space.

internet?

This will be my last trip with Turkish Airlines. DFW - IST then IST - KUL. I had pretty good experience last year, and I thought it would be a repeat. Horrendous. Worse, it wasn't the cheapest flight for my itinerary. The DFW - IST flight had an hour delay. So, my plan to take advantage of the Tour Istanbul went up in smoke. The 787 Dreamliner 3-3-3 seat combo is good, but the plane was dirty, and smelled like urine. I heard they had to change the seat for the passenger sitting behind me because of this. They gave me a dinner voucher for one out of 9 restaurants. The only redeeming quality for this trip for me is the very well-kept and managed Mesjid. The IST - KUL was practically a nightmare that is if I could have gotten some sleep. It's a 10-hour flight and the 777 is so old, the seat creaks. The economy section does not have individualized air conditioning vent. For more than half the trip, the temperature in the cabin was warm, and passengers (self-included) were using the security info card to fan themselves. FYI for both legs, drinks are limited to one cup and it's almost like the paper cups that you pulled out of a cup dispenser at the office's water cooler. YA, I'm not kidding. However, the staff is always courteous, and nice even though the situations were hard. Turkish Airlines CEO is sleeping. I've flown with Qatar, JAL, MAS, SIA, EVA, and Korean air to this sector. This is my worst so far. Turkish Airlines used to be good. With all the hype, I think it became complacent. That's why it will never reach the level of SIA or even JAL. Good luck.

¡Bienvenidos a México! Be sure to eat lots of tortas ahogadas, birria, tamales, and guisados before you go home! And don't forget to stop by Mazatlán on 8 Abril for the eclipse! ;)

No more two checked bags for international flights economic. Extrafly option at extra fee

Enjoy traveling ✈️✈️✈️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💞💞

I arrive in Kinshasa on January 9, 2024, and I cannot find my luggage. The same day, I fill out Turkish Airlines' lost luggage form before leaving the airport. I send several emails to the Turkish Airlines agency in Kinshasa, the first one being on January 13, 2024, to report my lost luggage, but I receive no response. Since January 2024, I have contacted agency several times and sent multiple WhatsApp messages regarding the lost luggage. In February, I call baggage service, and it is confirmed that due to your negligence, someone mistakenly retrieved my luggage (I have the recording of this call). Finally, Turkish Airlines decides that I must pay for the negligence of its staff and claims that I did not file a claim in time.

36k TL is extremely good for that flight, I typically pay around 30k MXN for the same every time I go to Istanbul which is roughly double what you paid…

I am going to america tomorrow and I am flying with turkish Airlines I don't know how good it will be

Hey beautiful lady, Would you mind to review the bussines class please ??

if mom feel better and that we have engough money, we can go to mali with turkish airlines

I flew San Francisco non-stop to Istanbul 14 hours as well. overall I agree with your rating. I believe they shouldn't be flying this plane international

I flew 13 hours 40 minutes on Turkish airlines too with the playing 777 + it was absolutely terrible and the leg room was non-existent outdated navigation camera from the early 2000s and much more

Are they flying Boeing? Make sure you check the door yourself!

I go to istanbul with plane. I go restroom and find shit and mocha everywhere I can't believe it I wait 14 hour before I use restroom because I can't take it. Terrible time I cannot believe it.

Is there a prayer room in the plane? 😊

Welcome to Mexico City.

You continuously show an A380 plane. Turkish Airlines do not have any A380 jets.

I had a very bad experience with them ,they decided to change my flight out of nowhere, then I had to make a call to them to valid new hours of flights, had to call, not possible to do the switch through email apprently, ended up with $250 in phone cost just to change a 50$ flight… because I was already in Turkey and had to call them with my hand phone. Im thoroughly traumatized. 😅

Turkish economy was good until they introduced B787.

There is an obvious difference between the way they treat Turkish and other nationalities from my experience.

It’s not good to choose with kids because at airport they don’t provide you wheelchair even if you already booked because of the kids and it’s hard to carry kids and bags together

The legroom looks a disaster.

Turkish Airlines is very good, but the worst Airline in the world Pegasus they are not providing good food and they have some junk with high price like one bottle of water for 4 Euro no matter your flight is short or long distance.

Aerolínea no apta para usuarios de estatura medianamente alta. Todo el viaje será incomodísimo. Las azafatas y en general el personal de esta aerolínea malhumorados y maleducados. Los alimentos sabrosos.

Worst airlines ever . They promised a hotel and once at the airport they denied and had to stay 14 hours with kids at the airport. not to mention that food is nasty

Turkish airline is worst….there is so much noice n during whole duration of flight ✈️ it was so noisy that ur ears feel burst

Turkish airline is the worst airline experience I had ever in my life …never ever travel again…on way back to Riyadh first the flight was delayed n thn thy send passengers to sister airline, after delay of 4 hrs thy had served only Turkey sandwich…no one has ate that sandwich…i dont understand why thy have served that????? No tv in that plan n there wqs no business class in that plane n leg space of economy airline was very less

Had a bad experience flying Turkish airlines & its $hit hub airport, IST. Will NEVER fly them again. 💩

The biggest problem with Turkish Airlines is non existent customer care that makes sure that customer is made liable to pay for something that the Airline is at fault for. I lost US$100 i paid for extra legroom seats when my my seat was changed to the worst one in the cabin. I always used to travel Turkish airlines from USA to Pakistan but have now changed to Qatar or Emirates even if i have to pay more. They need to improve their business class cabins too for flights from US.
