I flew in a packed flight in the middle of Coronavirus, no security inside the flight, no distance, people without mask and hostesses ignoring it. They owe me 700 euro since March and blocked the call center. I thought they were the best.

Delicious food served by chefs and amazing Turkish cuisine always makes me feel like I'm in heaven. Turkish Airlines is the best for price-quality relations.
I think Turks are very kind and thoughtful people. I love to see you both on more experiencing with the one and only Turkish airlines.

given the risk of infection is very low I can see airlines asking passengers to sign a disclaimer to release them from liability should they get Covid-19 after a flight. that way, people who want to take the low risk can still fly.

I flew Copa Airlines and Southwest yesterday. Southwest only gave me a snack bag and canned water, but social distancing was encouraged the entire flight. Copa, on the other hand, at least gave me a new face mask, but the flight was completely full. They said they weren’t going to book middle seats, but they did anyways.
That economy looks really nice
Jean has the best fashion sense 😂
Excellent video as always! These comparison videos are not only very informative, but in my opinion, I think it allows us to watch it as if we are actually riding the plane. Keep it up!
3:07 where he “just wanted a lift” and the wave “bye” to the little one on the buggy… So adorable.

Nicky throwing chocolate from Business class lounge was the best!!
I've always wanted to go on business class with turkish airlines but my dad couldn't afford it so I'm just collect miles to upgrade to business class. Don't get me wrong,their economy class is amazing but their business is beyond amazing.Besides,lounge access would be useful as well because the iga lounge charges around €50 per person whereas the old Istanbul airport only charged €30(primeclass lounge) and the experience was amazing compared to the iga lounge.
Awesome! LOVED the editing with the FaceTime call. Very cool!!
Thank you so much for objectively reviewing as a Turkish citizen. This shows your quality. Thanks.

Jannat N there’s been stories that it’s been around as early as August. People had it in Wuhan then apparently.
Discovered your channel today. I'm glad you all did this video because I'm going to Turkey in October and I am considering business class on Turkish airlines and a few others (like Lufthansa). I've flown Turkish before, economy. The service and food are great, however every international flight i've taken with them from the US has been packed. I'm 6'3 and the seats aren't that comfortable for me (too narrow, not enough leg room for me) - which isn't unique to Turkish airlines so was thinking I'd go business this time around and started searching airline options. This video helped me make my decision knowing the price point for business on Turkish. Thank you points guy(s) UK!!
U guys r doing great job. These specifications are the best.
Great flight as always team...they do have a pretty good product in all classes !! Love the call bell challenge...well done !! Also the Bloody Mary Challenge !!! Thanks again and hope you are all safe and well during these challenging times !!
I was at the business class seat. It’s really good. Comfortable and good service. Sadly that was also the last time I travelled because of COVID 😢

All Turkish people (including me) like the airport itself. The debate is not about the airport, but the reason and the way its built. I am pretty sure that you know what I am talking about .
Thanks for sharing the experience!!!
Thank you guys for this beautiful presentation. I have seen so many negative videos of Turkish airlines here but I have to say I ve flown with various airlines and where some airlines would give you a stale croissant and stinky cheese sandwich with no entertainment( that particular airline was supposed to be no 1 in europe) , you would get a proper meal and lots of entertainment choices in Turkish airlines. Sometimes the crew can come across as abrupt while speaking a foreign language, but this is because of foreign language skills .they are quite polite, funny and helpful in their mother tongue. I hope you enjoyed your flight!
Great vid I would love to try biz on Turkish airlines
The food is great!!! Never had such an amazing food on the plane :D
