Turkish Airlines BUSINESS CLASS! | Pandemic Flights Between IST and ATL | 787 Dreamliner
Flights: TK 31 & TK 32
Plane: 787-9
Business Class
Seats: 6K & 2A
Welcome to another video! A few weeks ago I flew with Turkish Airlines in their new Business Class between Atlanta and Istanbul. At between 10 and 11 hours, these were both very long flights, so I really got to know their new premium product well. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't as opulent as you'd expect due to precautions for COVID-19, but it was still a great experience. I'll be reviewing both my outbound and return flights in this video so you get a more comprehensive overview of what it's like to travel with Turkish Airlines during a pandemic. Hopefully, this will help you decide whether it's worth it or not to splurge on Business Class during these troubling times.

Thank you! I’ve really been trying to improve the quality as much as I can. Stay safe my friend!
Great video! I'm from New York but living the last 30 years in Vietnam. In September 2019 I joined a tour from Saigon to Istanbul and 9 days around Turkey. I was hesitant at first since the flight was 11 hours in economy. But oh so worth it! I absolutely loved Turkey and the flight was as good as could possibly be for 11 hours in economy. Our tour included everything from A-Z. I simply can't say enough good about how fascinating and at least for me and my wife how friendly everyone was. And I loved the food. Everything!

Thanks for watching! Turkey was amazing and I was really overwhelmed by the culture and how much history there is. I flew 10 hours in Economy with Turkish Airlines back in March and that was a great flight too. Well, except for the 8 year old that kicked me for 6 hours straight 😂. Stay well my friend!
amazing trip report!

Was looking to travel to Toronto in business class mid November, as my first economy flight from Toronto to Istanbul was really bad. The food was so cold and end up getting bloated. Thanks for telling that they are still serving cold food even in business.

Your videos are certainly much better overall than other more popular (as well as much more irritating) vloggers that seem to have far more subscribers than they deserve. Your video quality is good, the camera is not focused on you, you're not talking throughout the flight with complete disregard to other passengers around you, and you're not constantly complaining and whining whilst perched on a soap box. Basically, thank you for not being Josh Cahill, Nonstop Dan, Sam Chui and other ego-centric narcissists.

I hope they'll bend some rules and maybe make the catering as it should be. I think we'll just have to wait. It varies depending on the global situation. Other than that Turkish Airlines is actually a great airline.
great trip report! The catering service doesn't look good when flying in the pandemic

Great report, mate! I have a question. What are the measures at Turkey when you arrive there from the United States? Are there still mandatory COVID tests on arrival in Istanbul from the US?

I think I'll stick with Lufthansa or SWISS when crossing the Atlantic in business class. Their catering is much better and closer to what they serve during normal times.

Well, I just flew to Turkey last week on Economy and your meal is not far from what I had. I had the same "boxed" meal but in a red box without salad. Total disappointment. When I flew back, I was so glad I flew with United going thru Frankfurt. United's food wasn't in a box and so much better with choice of drinks.

Awesome Review ! Qatar Airways has been serving hot meals in all classes aince the pandemic began. Surely heat kills possible germs ? Indeed the Turkish Airlines adjusted catering is not as it is in normal times. But it is still substantial nonetheless.

Thanks for the comment! A lot of airlines have been serving hot meals, like the United MAX flight I took from Denver to Houston. I think it might just be more cost cutting from TK, but I have heard that they’re going to start serving warm meals again.
That’s so sad Will be flying with them soon from Jakarta to Zurich, so sad will not get proper mean on business class I guess I have to bring my own meal from home

Traveling with Turkish in three months, booked with them because of the amazing catering but now I feel kind of cheated, it looks like a snack box for the main course and even sadder for breakfast, also no longer amenity kit is in economy is provided, it feels that they're using the pandemic as an excuse to reduce the quality of service, disappointing; hope they are able to fix it for my flight moment.

Dude, come on. The food was terrible? lol...You 1st class people are so funny. Your nit picking meaningless things like where the usb charger is located etc... There is no way one human needs that much crap to fly from 1 place to another lmfao. Much less complain about anything in that 1st class seat gtfoh. The arm rest was a little uncomfortable, the foot well was a bit narrow? lol

Is it necessary? No. But when you pay 3x or 4x the price of an Economy ticket you expect the experience to be worth it. Fortunately I don’t live in a communist dictatorship lol. So when deciding where to expend my hard earned capital things like the quality of the food and seat comfort are very important... I mean why would you spend a lot of money on a flight that has bad food/seating arrangements when you could fly on a different airline that has good food and comfortable seats?
