Welcome back to another trip report! In this video I'll be covering Turkish Airlines new Economy Class product on their 787 Dreamliner from Washington, D.C. to Istanbul. Turkish Airlines has a great reputation among airline enthusiasts, so I was really interested to see if the redesigned cabins aboard their new 787's really lived up to the hype. Watch this whole video to see for yourself what the long-haul experience is like!

I think I’ve never seen such a big IFE screen in economy class! Great video by the way ☺️

Thanks! Unfortunately the IFE system didn’t work too well on this flight, but I’m sure they’ll get them fixed soon.

Great review! I really loved the Economy Class seat design on TK's newer aircrafts. They definitely did a great job in their service especially their onboard catering. Loved their attention to details especially the design of their amenity kits! :)

@@nycflyertravel, is it illegal for the United 737 that you took last time from EWR to Orange County to have cramped seats in economy class or it isn't illegal? Is it also illegal for United to not serve complimentary entrees in coach class when the price is high or it isn't illegal? Just want to make sure!
Wow, that is a really huge IFE screen. 787 cabin looks new, roomy. Love the Boeing Sky Interior too. I hope to fly Turkish to also make my own judgement. But your flight looks great.

Do they have wider seats up ahead?
It's good to fly with new plane. New design of the seat and IFE but usually the seat is thinner and narrower. How is it with TK?

Really liked your video. I wish Turkish took the opportunity to get rid of their A330s. They still fly one of those to Dhaka, Bangladesh. Almost all the competitors in and out of Dhaka fly more state of the art aircrafts.

LOL out of control 8 year old........its good that the flight was probably 8 hours long....compared to Qatar/Emirates/Saudi flights 14 hours across the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Edit: tell little bit about the Istanbul airport...I heard the people there are not very welcoming .....dont try to speak anything but Turkish....and the transits are too short ....people have to start running from the disembarkation point. are these true?
@nycflyertravel
3 жыл бұрын
It sure felt like it was 14 hours... Yeah the new Istanbul airport is massive which can make transits difficult. Everyone spoke English though and I thought they were nice. I posted a video on TKs Business Class where I talk a little bit more about the airport situation.

Yeah, one reason I choose AF or KL instead of QR or EK from IAD to Asia is my fear of young mafia passengers near me in cattle class. Which often happens but not as bad as your experience. Which is why I'm not a teetototaler: I ask for more wine to relax my nerves so as to not murder misbehaving children. Anyway, thanks for the review on an airline that I've yet to try.
