Did you know that Turkish Airline had a secret Business Class? Follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates! :)
looks better than old business on their a321 ceo
they also have four A350 that were supposed to be delivered to Aeroflot. They feature suites with closeable door. Quite cool and different to the rest of their A350 business class product.
I tell you why Thy is best in europe "for whatever reason with your saying" because in economy class you have different meal options with alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks for FREE, while your other airlines ask for 10 euro for a plastic bottle of water, and staff very helpful not miserable other companies. Just wake up and do reality check for this reason
I've never flown them, but every single review I have seen has been very positive. So not only are they good, they are consistently good.
It's just Josh that needs to come out of the closet.
I flew Turkish Airlines Economy, possibly for the first time in my recollection, Vienna to Istanbul, then Istanbul to Zürich in August. One thing that did impress me was the fact that on both segments roughly 2 to 2.1/2 hours I was served a hot meal with a little starter and pudding, and wine. I was amazed - I thought airlines had given up proper service on shorthaul flights in economy
I've only seen good reviews of Turkish Airlines. And that spans a period of 10 years, so they've been consistently good. Some airlines go up and down, not them.
The seat alone makes it the best European business class seat. It’s an example of how bad European business class is.
Skytrax is so neutral and objective that they could award 5 stars to Air Peace...😬
If they pay the right amount for sure!
@@JoshCahillThey have to pay fuel first remember😉
Lol!
Nevertheless he said ''Scamtrax''
Skytrax would award 5 stars to itself
Turkish Airlines never disappoints, flown all classes long n short across the atlantic and beyond, their service is consistent
Not true, fly Kigali Istanbul and then you will understand
@@cristinastefan3713very popular route kigali istanbul how many times did you fly with Thy, just one time isnt it 😂
Finnair also flies intereuropean flights regularly with A350 to AMS and LHR. Business class also
Part is cargo but also reduced intercontinental network
Best decision to upgrade at the counter. I did it MUC-IST several times and was never disappointed. Esp. the lounge in MUC T1 is very reliable.
I love your videos Josh, thank you for giving such strong reviews! Keep flying and smiling 😀.
Outside of the tray table issue, I wouldn’t have any regrets paying for that upgrade
On a 4 hour flight? I wouldn’t mind but on a 8+ hour flight this is not worth the money
@@maxsaviation9512 Munich to Istanbul is not a 4 hour long flight. It takes 3 hours max. I just checked its 2h 45m
Two European airlines operate intra-Europe wide bodies on select high demand routes. Iberia from MAD-LHR and Finnair between LHR/AMS-HEL, both with lay flat seats. Though TK also has a sub-fleet of narrow bodies with North American style 2-2 lounger seats on some European routes.
I love that lounge at Munich. Upstairs is less crowded though
Had the honor to fly with Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A330-300 to Romania, a Great airline with chefs onboard long-haul flight(s).
Great trip report as always.
I have flown Turkish Air business several times from the US to Bucharest for business. It’s a great product and very underrated imo. Their business class fare in the US is usually 1000 dollars cheaper than the US legacy carriers.
Been at Munich Airport before and it was the same as what you had experienced. Either way great video. Hopefully, I'll fly on this airline to see what the flight experience is like but in economy this time.
Personally, i think turkish airlines has a huge problem of luggage and delay. Each month i take turkish from Addis-Abeba to Antalya or even to Paris, each time my flight is delay and my luggage is lost or still in Addis.
it seems that is problem of service crew of the airport in Addis and not a problem of THY
We flew Turkish Business Class yesterday from Singapore to Athens, after flying Singapore Business from Melbourne to Singapore. Turkish is our current airline of choice but both airlines did well. Happy to be on a B777 from Singapore to Istanbul because I find the flatbed more comfortable than on the newer planes.
Excited about the prospect of Turkish Airlines flying from Australia from December and hoping for flights direct to Istanbul.
Josh, what about Finnair? A350 London to Helsinki is lovely. They often send 350s and 330s around Europe.
Hi Josh. Great job. As a special request, please create a course on how you started this review journey, especially for young and aspiring CZcamsrs like us. Great video.
I always learn from Josh as well, developing my channel
I was flying Turkish Airlines from Hamburg to Cotonou last year, via Istanbul.
I didn't regret my choice, accept the catering from Istanbul to Cotonou wasn't great. They served noodles, which tasted good, but I was easily able to count them... Arriving at my destination, first thing was to get food - at 1:20am!
When I needed to change my flight, the customer service at the office in Cotonou was very helpful and I wasn't even charged an additional fee! Try that with Emirates!
Next adventure for me will be Air China to Manila in December😊
Love Turkish Air Did 4 flights in BC class last year with them. Food was fantastic. Even on just over an hour flight we took. Hot meal and dessert. Istanbul Airport though. Urgh. When taxiing it feels like your driving to your destination. Once in the terminal you walk and walk and walk some more. I checked my step watch on one trip. From time we left the plane and got outside it was 2.8KM. Thats just nuts. Surely when they built it they could have come up with a better design so your not walking 2 plus KM's to get out. Sure we spent more time taxiing and walking then the flight itself.
As a Turk and someone living in Istanbul, I experience this every month :D
@@metinbalogullari1905 I feel for you. But we loved our time in Turkey. Would love to come back one day.
@@carolinelane9599 I'm glad you had a good time :) I hope you come again ✌🏻
Just subbed to your channel mate and an I love hearing and Aussie “twang” in you accent. Have picked up some very useful tips for my own travel watching you. 👍👏👏
should have mentioned the second floor of the lounge in muc much quieter with sleeper seats and a nice view on the airfield.
8:17 brilliant catch of a wonderful airbus a300!!
Yes Turkish Airlines is the Best. I fly alot
Turkish Airlines has always been a hidden gem. Love them.
We have flown three different Business class seats on their A330 during September, some planes from Frankfurt to Istanbul have the same seat as their 777 seat, some have these seats, and some have the older black recliner like in their A321. It’s kinda random what product you get
love your content
You should try Aer Lingus, they fly a330s to be Palma and Faro as well as a leased 757 to Malaga
I love ti fly with Turkish Airlines.. they are alwyas kind and helpful plus I feel always safe.
I like the video very much Josh keep up the good work
Looks like maybe the table wasn't broken, but you weren't using it correctly? At 6:48 you have pulled out the support from the centre armrest but you didn't have this out when you were trying to use the table. I must admit I have never seen a tray table where you have to pull out something else like that before.
My experience from London to Istanbul B/C. Was awesome…
Nice food as usual,clean lavatory and super nice crew and Istanbul Airport is also one of the best in Europe.
What happened to your trip Myanmar?
Yes Video was up and disappeared
Regarding Wide Body's on inter European routes, Over the Summer I've flown Turkish Airlines 5 times Manchester to Istanbul The aircraft seem to rotate between A330-B787-And on two occasions A350, it tends to be the afternoon flights with widebodys .
The A350-900 is, in my opinion, the Dogs Bollocks.
A second this. Wide body from Frankfurt - Istanbul gives you lie flat seats, especially nice when flying back to Frankfurt from a trip like Jakarta
In 45 years of flying, I’ve never pooped on a plane either. It’s also not for me!
Bernie in sydney
Josh. You should review the Turkish Airlines Aeroflot planes ✈️. If you fly Cape Town to Istanbul you can see another secret Turkish Airlines business class
I have flown between Schipol and Istanbul. Both A330-200 felt old to me. One of them was 20 years old. It is time to replace with new ones. Not sure new A330s but seems like 787s i guess.
Interesting video ❤
I agree with you lufthansa is the finest also. It is only one I fly to Greece.
It's very rare to see Josh sitting inbetween two passengers. I know it's hard holding that camera facing you feel uneasy.
6:15 the face you made 😂😂😂
They fly from Frankfurt to Istanbul as well with Airbus A330. And the boarding process, well, I was in Madrid lately, there they had lines for each boarding group, and the whole process was a a breeze and not like a rugnby scrum...
I’ve never peed once in an airplane…and I’ve done transatlantic flights…never been in my own “loo review”…I’ll hold it, thanks! 🤣
I was literally just on that flight ✈️ yesterday
On my flight from LAX to IST, the FA kept the loo clean. However, they always set the toilet seat cover when I just wanted to pee. At first I thought she didn’t clean up after herself, but then realized she just set the seat cover. Different culture I guess.
Recently Skytrak awarded Turkish Airlines as the Best Airline in Europe again. (Shows Royal Brunei Airlines getting a 4 star award)
I flew A330 TK business Bcn/ist, in august. I thing that is the new business class design for somes a330 aircrafts, flying only to Europe.
The food is still good, but was better before ! The service quality isn't allways TOp !
But, still good expérience ❤
The king of aviation is here
when will ur vids from your australia trip come out?
They have been posted already :) Qantas and Bonza are live!
4:30. Intra-Europe is international. Perhaps you meant intercontinental or long-haul.
Josh you should try the “Indigo” Turkish hybrid in business class! It seems very exotic and I haven’t seen any reviews yet.
he has already reviewed it
@@rudragupta2491 that was in economy. They have the unique 1 cabin business class located in front.
Recently flew 4 times within 2 weeks (AMS - JAKARTA) in economy. Very mixed feelings. A350 (longer legs) - stunning but slightly cramped. A332 on shorter - inter European legs... smelly and surprisingly run down but quite spacious. I agree that wide body is a treat within Europe, but found out that the plane I flew on from IST to AMS operates frequently on Istambul - Boston route. They are great, however I've noticed some consistency issues over the years (first flight 8 years ago).
Good video
👍👍👍👍
5:57, The best in-flight entertainment is Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Emirates and British Airways.
Phew. Came to this video after the QR one. As a TK employee, i am relieved. Fun fact is i saw an old colleague of mine at the boarding of this video😊😊😊 i wil text him to see if he saw the video 😊😊
Hi Josh. I prefer Turkish airlines to Lufthansa for long haul flights from Canada in all aspects except customer service is better with Lufthansa.
6:58 Loo reviews are extremely important 😂
Nice video Josh cahill Turkish Airline Skytrax Good speaking English
Wow
Next time if you like coffee, try the turkish coffee on business class 👌. Great review as always, cant say the same for scamtrax 😂😂
How is that KI for travel called, that you have shown in the last video, wich is not available any more?
Josh, did you do the English pre-flight safety talk recording for Southern China Airways? I was on a flight last week in China, and I swear I heard your voice playing over the intercom!
😹😹
Could be ai genrated
Worked on six continents and flew with every major airline past 60 years. Measuring the airlines solely based on inflight food or the seat is not fair and good enough. You have to take the total package including the ground services, etc..Based on my 60 years of flight experience, I take the Turkish Airlines over the most US and European Airlines.
Hey the loo review isn’t boring, it’s the highlight
00:40 did he say Scamtrax???🤣
That’s one of the planes that LATAM used to use on their flights to Easter Island from Santiago.
No, TAM used the A330 before the merge... LAN flew to Easter Island using the A340 and 767
Where did the Myanmar video go?? I suspect the egg, coconut, banana descriptions got you a strike. When I heard it, I was afraid that it was NOT going to sit well with CZcams's TOS. Hope Im wrong and want to see the video in full, edited of course.
No CZcams is very liberal with these kind of comments. There is a copyright issue with should soon be resolved... nothing to worry about :)
@@JoshCahill Great! I look forward to seeing it!
Glad to hear!! You're the only airplane CZcamsr I still watch. You remain unique, true to your individual style, grounded and humble. Above all, entertaining AND informative. I hope you don't do any "joint" content as you did in Africa last time. You are in a different class than others
Glad to hear! Hope its back up soon@@JoshCahill
Thank you for the interesting videos. Actually, I used to fly between Toronto and Berlin for business. The airline was selected by price/schedule. Whether we were waited on by white gloved attendants, severing gourmet dinners (with great presentation) was not high on the list of priorities. One gets the impression that Josh likes to be pampered, and that is fine if travelling first class. Most travelers, I believe, just want to get from point a to b safely and on time.
I flew on Turkish Airlines from Edinburgh to Johannesburg via Istanbul in 2022 and found the service on board excellent… 💯
I can’t say the same though for their call centre… 🤷🏼♂️
Anyways… the Turkish Airlines ground and cabin crew staff were also very good.
I would recommend using the airport lounge in Istanbul though, if you’re there long enough, as the food and drink prices in the airport terminal alone were just completely ridiculous.
Great showers and overall cleanliness in the airport lounge itself… I just couldn’t fault it.
can you pls make another vlog on spicejet since its been a long time you have flown with them
I took Asiana airline a330, this year, the seat is exactly same as this,
Another great review from you, Josh. I reckon you should ditch the loo review unless there is a pertinent message to tell the audience.
❤❤❤désolé je ne pas besoin votre vidéo arrête merci bisous ❤❤❤❤❤
My wife likes a lot when you mention the key rings
Lol I literally saw this Business class couple days ago in one of buddies stories … would they also offer this one for the Brussels departures… , I’m gone check this in a month & update you guys! 🤔
Great review Josh you must try regain your enthusiasm for the loo review I surly can’t be the only one eagerly awaiting your Bog outcomes.😃👍
Funny thing is that those 777s of Indigo are leased from Turkish Airlines.
You forgot to mention the amazing pretzels in that lounge! For shame! :)
Seriously I thought you're talking about the business seat on their aeroflot cancelled A350, this kind of seat, I've seen it in some videos
Turkish are quite good. I have flown them more than 20 times and think that they have the best food in the sky. It's not Emirates. But it's a good product.
Can you do an klm review once
I had to take a sudden Turkish Airlines flight once (standard Wizzair abandonment), I thought they were pretty good. Most memorable thing though is I wasn't hungry (had planned for and eaten for other travel), but the attendant said something like "no you're a strong young man you will eat your food!" and forced me to take it hah. Still no working wifi/internet though, I've never been on a flight where it actually worked ever.
Yes dose seats were operated by LATAM in south america
Hi Josh, Long time fan.
Your laugh is infectious!!!
Have you reviewed AerLingus?? Cant find any. Lve to see your opinion.
Johnmichael from Dublin . Ireland
Josh try flyerbil to erbil
Turkish put us on this from Kenya to Turkey. All the seats were broken and wouldn’t recline and they were missing meals. Idk to me Turkish is not up to par for what I expected for that kind of route. The only thing that was decent was the crew who were apologetic but Turkish refused to do anything about this experience we had. I was very disappointed by them
Claim your 10 minute tickets here , I love your videos and yeah I am not shocked and the a330 and a340 is old they all have this type of seats but on the a340 there is a middle seat 💀 💀
Is it possible to go to Kuwait for transit with Kuwait Airways B777-300er?
From Kuwait 🇰🇼 ❤
6:43 Best tea in the world my arse
Looks like that used to be asiana airlines old seats
07:17 You can take the man out of Germany but not Germany out of the man 😉
🇹🇷❤️
Can you go to a Saudi Arabia airlines bc even tho you go to a😊ecademy class it will be comfortable
Hey Josh what happened to your new video about Myanmar International Airways(MAI)
I wish u see this sonner.
what happened to the myanmar airlines vid?
Looking forward to seeing your review of Indigo Airways. Where are you heading afterwards from Delhi?? By anychance are you on the UA83 flight in Polaris on Saturday night??? If so, I would stop by to say hello!!! LOL
I fly THY 2-3 times per year. Economy. Different planes but good-very good every time. At least Airbus 321 with very good entertainment and as food i choosed "asian vegetarian food" (yes, you can choose in economy!) + orangejuce and than 30min later got a coffee (you can also choose tea). I love THY. I hope they don't skimp on food in future.
