Because of that, living in Finland and all, some of the Swedish-Swedish accents are really tough to even hear words for me, but you were crystal clear and I understood every word. And never took a course. Point is, your Swedish is lovely!

Are you on the a350?

I love Turkish Airline and have been using them since 2011, when I discovered them when another airline cancelled my flight. I have been flying with them ever since. The entertainment choices are very good and the meals served are good as well. And the new Istanbul airport is beautiful but like he says there is a lot of walking. I lost my phone and called the lost and found office there and they said they had my phone. The problem is most of the people working there had no idea where this office was at so the directions had me walk around the airport 3 or 4 times going through passport station many times till someone when out of their way to help me. And I had to run to catch my plane after I got my phone back. If you like to shop, you will love this airport.

WiFi - to work around the 1 hour limit, if you have a laptop for example, is to us a Mac Address Changer. Then you can simply change after each hour. I've done this plenty of times in airports and coffee shops around the world, when they have set restrictions :-)

Welcome back Dan ! I hear some not so good stories about the new airport and you nailed it...you have to walk for miles to get anywhere and some friends who were there recently said parts of the building looked only half finished and they were still working on it. Your tour of the toilets summed it up....and 60 Euro's for a shower in the lounge ...forget it ! Flight looked reasonable and as always you are very honest and frank about your trips !! Looking forward to more...well done again mate !!

I do and dont agree. The furthest gate from passport control is 15/20min walking, which is pretty normal compared to many other big airports in EU. For connecting flights, you have access to “shortcut” routes if your connection is below 2 hours. The taxi time used to be long yes but only untill the 3th runway opened in June 20, taxi time reduced by 40%, 3 more runways are opening soon. The airport improved really a lot after opening. I have flown many times from IST and it gets better every day. I hope you will have a good experience.

New airport?!? Wow, great video thanks dan. :D

Here’s my question to all the frequent fliers out there. If my ticket itinerary shows the arrival time in Istanbul at 9 am and my connecting flight leaves from Istanbul at 11am. Does it mean I have 2 hours to make a connection? Which should be OK? Or is it 9am landing (touchdown) time which doesn’t mean that the aircraft will be at the gate at 9am - it can take another 15-20 minutes to reach the gate and another 20 minutes for the passengers to de-plane. In which case my connection time may be less than an hour and considering how HUGE the new IST terminal is - there’s a chance of not making it to my connection gate (since all transit passengers are required to pass through security check again in IST)

was the meal included? i might fly with them on an A321 through Istanbul next summer

Taxiing to the very left runway in IST also takes so long I’ve experienced it on Infinite Flight

Thanks for the review, I totally get the competing with the Middle Eastern airlines point but I would add one huge value of Turkish Airlines -> reduce travel time on the way to Asia when connecting in Istanbul compared to other middle eastern airlines.

Anthony Sebastiani another advantage of flying with Turkish Airlines is that they are a member of Star Alliance. It is a huge deal for frequent fliers to be able to earn elite qualifying miles (unlike Dubai or AbuDhabi based carriers). They also offer a free tour of Istanbul for those whose layover is long enough.

Thanks lovely vlog good luck

Weren’t you supposed to be at TLV? On your last video you said your route is: HKG-BKK-SIN-IST-TLV. Or is this not the flight you took after the Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-200?

I love your videos so much! I just came back from school and i always watch your videos first if you post.

Åker med Turkish Airlines från Arlanda till Istanbul new airport på onsdag. Ska bli spännande att se den nya flygplatsen, men jag förväntar mig mycket promenerande efter att ha sett din video! När du gör reviews av economy class, kan du inte nämna ifall du behöver betala för mat/dryck på planet? Åker man Pegasus så får man betala, men TA ingår allt. Stor skillnad. Tack för en suverän kanal, mycket underhållande, även om jag aldrig åker business/1st class, haha.

I went in February 2019 and it was so empty and there were almost no restaurants available but the restrooms were so clean and the praying room also very clean

I flew Turkish airlines this month to the UK and the meals were exactly the same as the ones on this video including the Veggie special meal.

I dont know the transfer route but there are more than plenty of food shops and restaurants in the main hall on both sides of the terminals. Just ask the stationed helpers who can assist you where to go. Yes its a lot of walking but that is a given with such a huge airport that is destined to handle traffic of 200M passengers a year and there are buggy cars available for a small fee that you can use. Either way, if you dont prefer this airport there is still the smaller Sabiha Gökcen (saw) airport on the other side of Istanbul that you can use.

Idk if someone went to Istanbul new airport but they do have showers in their bathrooms located after the check-in desks, but yes the airport needs a lot of things to be fixed

Dan, I may not be one of your Swedish homey’s but you know that nobody turned off the video. That was so cute, you speaking Swedish!❤️ Thanks for the heads up on the newTurkish airport, I wasn’t going to head there anytime soon though lol🤮🤮 As always, brutally honest review!❤️👍✈️

I'm looking to fly with Turkish to HK. But if WiFi is limited, a long layover of 9 hours is not very appealing, no matter how cheap the tickets are.

It's a shame I didn't fly the old airport to compare to the new one (if I ever fly there lol)

I made quite the opposite experience with the toilets. Very clean, empty, looks like new. But it was in a part of the airport which was very quiet

Actually you are wrong the airport hotel offers showers that you can rent for a reasonable price

Turkish airlines boarding music is the best

so I actually flew IST to TXL on Turkish Airlines Economic as well, and i will say my experience is very similar with yours in the video as well in all honesty, the only thing that i had a strong distaste over the experience of my flight for that route was the legroom, and every thing else was decent.

Very Nice Video

Hi Dan, thank you for a lot of good videos. Your argument of why Turkish isn't an European airline would also make other airlines like TAP a Non-European airline too. If Istanbul is the transfer hub for one or not depends on which airport you come from and where you want to go to. Here in September when I was going back to Copenhagen I had a transfer in IST. With my flight, there were many Ukrainians going to Copenhagen from Kyiv. I talked with some of them and they told me it was a better and cheaper connection for them. The last point is that Turkish flies to most of the world and we are speaking of all the world. I think, outside Turkey, Germany is the country where Turkish has the most direct destinations from IST. Btw IST is a European city ;) I totally agree that Istanbul New Airport is so big you have to keep track of time. Again thank you for a good review from Copenhagen :)

Hi Dan, I'm curious if turkish serves a hot snack between meals on long haul like middle eastern airlines.

Right. So at first your Swedish sounded extremely American but like after American Express the Gothenburg dialect kicked in. Absolutely fantastic! One can hear you’re not comfortable though :)

Where did you find all the charging points at the airport? When I was there's I walked around for ever and ended up sitting on the floor next to the 1 outlet I could find 😶

Wow NonstopDan what is the special plane?????

I miss the machines where you could get drinks or snacks from the old airport. In the new one I only found one, and it was soo badly placed. I saw it when i transfered from an international to domestic flight, but its placed before the security check, so when passing you have to throw your drinks away, and you cant go back. Also I miss the free wifi from Starbucks. Couldnt find anywhere in the new airport with free wifi, except the official 1h limited one. Atleast there were a ton of places to charge your phone and more than enough seating.

Why don't you like Dubai's airport? Just curious, thanks

Istanbul airport will be fully ready and comfortable in a couple of years. The opening was a bit rushed, it is functional but not fully operational. In a couple of years i guess will be fantastic.

Actually, When I went to Istabul airport thier were many cafes and shower booths, a mall up stairs too!

Love all your videos

How tall are you? I'm judging the amount of legroom you had on the plane. -Thank yo u

Du pratar lite göteborgska (det är kul). Snälla prova Ukraine international BC. Jag hittar inte någon som har gjort en tripreport på den och jag vill jätte gärna se det.

Dan, your Swedish is good. I bet IKEA would hire you to translate labels from English into swedish

Was it a coincidence that the movie was pauzed at that moment? I don't think so... Anyway nice review. I gotta agree on Turkish airlines, they're a good airline but I would not want to transfer at that airport unless I had at least 2 hours or more.

TAP review incoming??

Omg the airport is half finished what do accept?

Your swedish is very norwegian sounding.:-) Living close to the border?

Lol you were on the same seat that i was today

How does it compare to Changi ? It is the intricacies that lie within Changi and most notably terminal 2(the terminal with the most obscure destinations) that make flying so interesting and fulfilling .

I flew from IST to CDG last month. The wifi is sucks. They gave you 1 hour limit but you can’t even used it or at least on my phone it doesn’t work at all. Airport is huge and beautiful, but yeah they opened it too soon. I prefer Ataturk airport. Flying with Turkish airlines, the food choices is not really that good comparing to the older days, but it is better than any european airlines especially Air France.

Ten minutes from bag claim to check in...wow that's bad. Does each airline have staff or a booth to help people?

When you solely look at the seats perhaps indeed Emirates is a better choice. Yet, Emirates has 6 different economy class fares where Turkish gives you free seat choice and luggage.
