It’s pretty good. Their lounge in Istanbul is really nice.

Nah role with Turkish airlines. It’s elite imo.

Istanbul airport is chaotic! They try to be like Emirates but not the same at all… felt uncomfortable the whole time

Service is good but not great. Hardware is sub par with other luxury airlines or even standard European airlines eg Lufthansa

Price wise they are competitive but I wouldn’t take them cos I want to avoid going through that airport again

funny

No but it’s business class it’s going to be great. Stop flexing

Had one of my best experiences with Turkish airlines. I flew with Lufthansa and Emirates before. Turkish airlines is outperforming all of them IMO. It was so pro and had great service. The staff is nice. I go with them whenever I can.

I don't check that often, but one time I flew from Chicago to Istanbul. So it must be a 777. And you know what? On that flight, when I saw that level of service at Turkish airlines, I knew airlines in the US are trash. I was very surprised 😳

It was a great experience. I enjoyed the VIP lounge in Istanbul as well - great selection of food and drinks and you can find somewhere to sit and relax for a bit

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
