TURKISH AIRLINES = Textbook Example for Short Haul European Flights.

Good day guys my name is jadden welcome back to my channel I’m at beautiful Istanbul airport I just arrived from Sabu the Philippines I’m now going to connect on a Turkish Airlines a321 flight from here to Rome Italy uh I’ve got tokish gold uh Elite specifically so I’m going to check out

The smiles and miles miles and smiles for lounge this airport is massive it’s only got one terminal where all flights depart from around the world there aren’t many big airports that do one terminal I could only think of Istanbul Bangkok and Hong Kong the terminal is super crowded but thanks to the ultra

High ceiling the noise level isn’t too high istan airport has excellent sign manist but to get access to Wi-Fi it’s quite annoying look for this wi-fi Cube and obtain Wi-Fi login information Turkish Airlines operate two International lounges at Istanbul airport today I get access to the Miles

And Miles Lounge which is a star Lions gold Lounge star Lions business class customers don’t get access to this Lounge Turkish Airlines and star Lions business class customers instead have access to the Turkish Airlines business Lounge many people on the internet and Aviation forums say that this is the

Best our alliance go lounge around the world and I don’t disagree I’ll show you why first the entrance is magnificent a very spacious and Airy feeling here you want next to each other or doesn’t matter doesn’t matter thank Youk you second the shower rooms are enormous and simply beautiful

Hello welcome to the miles and smiles shower room at IST haven’t had a shower for over 24 hours so I Des desperately need one right now along with cath the Cabana this is probably my favorite shower room definitely my favorite if it’s a business class Lounge you get a

Robe don’t know why you need it but why not premium aminities and fluffy towels marble wall and floor very well lit as well and the space is just hum hum humongus beautiful clean mirror the toilet just down here and the shower space pretty big as well you’ve got a standard shower head

Over here and a rain shower definitely higher than 6’4 I just had a very lovely and warm shower I also shaved and brushed my teeth there are so many amenities in this shower room that many airlines don’t offer even in first class lounges like slippers rope face and hand towels

In the miles and smiles Lounge it feels like you’re in a five-star hotel room after that I went outside to store my luggage the Lu is are indeed a nice and useful touch many people go to airport lounges for food if you’re one of them this

Lounge is for you you can see actual chefs cooking up fresh and fragrant PES as well as Asian noodles and pasta for those coffee addicts you’ll find Barista make coffee here which again many lounges don’t offer traditional Turkish yogurt from this Barrel why not dessert is mainly Turkish and western style such as

Baklava cheesecake and chocolate cake in the miles and smiles there’s so much other food and Facilities that we didn’t didn’t have time to enjoy it I can’t wait to come back in 3 weeks time when we finish our European journey to try other food and check out the

Cinema 644 and I were just leaving this lounge and we were still discovering how massive this Lounge was if you need somewhere quiet and you can’t get a private Suite this is the place to be the floorboards and carpet give off a really cozy Vibe before long it’s time to head to

Our gate D7 for a flight to Rome Fu machino from the lounge it’s about a 3 to 5 minute walk not too bad considering how big this airport is our aircraft today is a 12-year-old Turkish Airlines Airbus a321 Tango Charlie Julia Romeo Romeo this particular e321 wears the star lines delivery next thank

You boarding again with priority passengers first including Gold members business class and also people with mobility issues afternoon hello welcome on board teish a321 business class is laid out in a 22 configuration it’s similar to the Australian domestic business an American domestic first class and very unlike the

Usual European business where they just just block off the middle economy seat my seat for today’s flight is 98 a standard economy seat let me quickly show you the seat features first we got a CO hook a touchscreen adjustable TV it looks like there should be a USB port

There but there isn’t you’ve got the TV remote right there but it’s stuck the tray table is foldable and you can also move it back and forth a standard seat pocket here B room is okay about 31 or 32 in every seat also comes with an adjustable hitr and

I’ll also try out the recline it’s rather generous for narrow body aircraft overall it is a good product it’s comfortable but it’s a bit dated TV is a bit old it’s not responsive to my fingers my monitor is loose and there’s no charging at a seat at all every

Passenger is provided with complimentary ear faints and you’ll find the plugs and at the end of your armrest here’s the wing view from my c 9A as part of my European Journey I’m going to take four Turkish flights in total including the a321 CEO a321 Neo

A350 and tri 7 I’m going to do a video on all of them so please subscribe to my channel and click the Bell button next to it so you won’t miss out on any of them Wi-Fi is available on this aircraft everybody gets free and limited texting

Business class get one gab of suring Turkish Airlines members also get some the C we will during flight push back today is 10 minutes early a little bit more Ain flight we would like to draw your ATT to the saf inform FL and Dr www.k wii. net

L room does become a bit tight if the person in front reclines I’ll Now quickly go through the inflight entertainment you can choose from 12 languages including Turkish English Chinese Japanese and Korean there’s a wide selection of TV shows and movies there’s Barbie but there’s no Oppenheimer the inlight map is

Interactive you can zoom in and zoom out the Turkish Airlines logos are the destinations that they fly to about half an hour after take off the cabin crew began the meal service today they’ll be serving dinner and a white selection of beverages for dinner your options are

Beef or pasta but it’s unclear what exactly the dishes are because the cabin crew simply said would you like beef or pasta well I had pre-ordered the vegetarian meal so I didn’t have to care about the options I was given an eggplant pasta It’s a vegan pasta 6’4

Went for the regular pasta option it’s vegetarian so it’s got cheese but without eggplant or orene and to be honest they both taste really similar now for my St I got green bean salad a bowl of fruit and water also margarine and bread for the regular beef or pasta

You’ll get bread and butter and also a Turkish yogurt dip for drinks you can choose from a selection of alcohol including red wine and white wine there’s also the regular coffee tea soft drinks and juices I went for a cherry juice I’ve never had cherry juice before same goes to tomato juice

On this flight I noticed so many people went for the cherry juice so I had to give it a try it was not bad I liked it but I still prefer the fin a blueberry juice if you enjoying this video so far which I hope you do please give like

Three down in economy they’re all at the back none in the middle so pretty spacious much bigger wouldn’t say much but quite a lot bigger than the uh lav trees on 737 cute little got hook mirror dear passengers as we are descending make sure that your hand

Luggage is sted in the overhead bins or under the seat in front of you please fasten your seat belt put your seat back ight close your tray table open your window blind and St your fo rest we’ve now started our descent into Rome Italy and I’ll quickly conclude

This Tri Report with Turkish Airlines right here right now our journey today started at Istanbul airport the transit process was really simple and isy at Istanbul there was no passport check at all you simply head to the transit area scan your on W boarding pass and you’ll

Be entering the security Zone there was like no waight there within 5 minutes I made it to the departure level we then went to the Miles and Miles Lounge you can never spend enough time there there’s so much to do and eat the shower rooms are beautiful as well we then

Boarded our a321 flight to Italy the average Fleet age for Turkish Airlines is 8 years old this aircraft is 12 so it is quite old for the airline and you can tell TV is a bit old and a monitor is a bit loose the worst part for us was the

Missing USB port and charging Outlet other than that the seat was comfortable if was great and it’s still a very Superior product compared to many European short H aircraft as for the meal service both pasts were great mine tasted healthier the regular one tasted cheesier overall today it was a great

Flight and I highly recommend this Airline for your reference the airfare on this route on board Turkish starts from 6030 Turkish L Turkish operate this route four times a day with a mixture of 737 A320 1 and airb A330 so that’s it for the conclusion today thank you so
