Etsi halvat lennot: Turkish Airlines

Turkish Airlines Surprises Me. Better Experience Than Any US Airline

Plussat: Trip from Istanbul was On Time. As a Disabled Person, I was picked up at the baggage ticket counter and expedited through. It was excellent service in Istanbul for me. The plane experience was smooth, with wonderful entertainment on your personal screen with excellent movie, news and music offerings. The crew was wonderful, friendly, smiling and accommodating. No charge on alcoholic drinks! Food was great. Flight was good. At Houston, the assistants for Disabled Persons was wonderful, accompanying me up until I was dropped at Shuttle service to my car. Turkish airlines really impressed me and would use them anytime.

Miinukset: In Istanbul, I had to walk from the gate entrance to the plane. Took me 10 minutes to walk the plank, struggling, but no one offered me a wheelchair or assistance. In Istanbul, there was a considerable amount of people waiting to check bags but there were no agents at 2 counters and it really bothered the people waiting and waiting for them to show up. Then the baggage loading track stopped and it stopped all the traffic for a while. Inconveniences but, nevertheless, it affected the travelers anxiety.

Plussat: Same as the first flight. Entertainment is good, foods good, crew was nice, USB charging is great.

Miinukset: Kinda annoyed that it was a two prong plug for the headphones. It was super hot and I couldn't rest. Not a lot of space beneath seat in front for personal items.

First time here

Plussat: Food was pretty good. There was a large selection of entertainment options which was nice. Crew seemed pretty friendly. USB and plug point are extremely nice.

Miinukset: There isn't a lot of room in front of seats to place personal items. The cleaners did not so a good job, as trash was found in pockets.

Miinukset: More staff to ease boarding--a passenger tripped and was "run over" by other passengers

Surprisingly Good!

Plussat: Enjoyed the service! Clean bathrooms with lotion! Good silverware for eating and nice tea!

Miinukset: USB did not work! Front of plane was boiling whereas back of plane was freezing. My friend was so hot she was sick many times because of the hotness of the plane.

Plussat: Food and staff were good.

Miinukset: The seats were tight when the person in front leaned all the way back. His or her head was practically in my lap forcing me to lean back, to the annoyance of the person behind me. All was fine after the meal when everyone leaned back.
