Hello everyone, anybody else going to Istanbul this year?

I've read some rather disturbing reviews about Turkish Airlines - anybody had any experience with them, or am I worried about nothing?:s

Hi, I have not flown with them, but they got an award last year, if my memory is OK, for the best short haul airline in Europe - ahead of British Airways.

Hi ErinDoors

I flew Turkish Airlines when I did Istanbul, Troy and Ephesus trip last October and can confirm that they are very good. There was plenty of leg room and the food served was delicious. The staff were happy and helpful. They cater for everyone as long as you notify them in advance if you have any dietary requirements. Not sure where you have read disturbing reviews. I hardly read any reviews, but when and if I ever do I take them with a pinch of salt as not all are true. Some people may post a negative review if they hold a grudge or just for a petty reason. You will love flying with Turkish Airlines and you will also love Istanbul. I definitely would like to go back one day.

Hi there,

I went on the Istanbul city break two years ago and flew with Turkish Airlines from Manchester and they were very good. There was plenty of legroom and the food was quite good as well. I would recommend the airline and the holiday. Istanbul is an amazing city, plenty to see and do.

Hope you enjoy your trip.

I flew on 3 flights with Turkish Airlines last November and I couldn't fault them. In fact, I think they were better than British Airways, who I also took 2 connecting flights with for the same holiday. The crew and pilots were very professional, the aircraft clean and comfortable, the food delicious, and my flight arrived early into Heathrow coming back, in fact, I had more hassle getting from terminal 2 to terminal 5 for my connecting flight home than at any other point.

As Jaya has already mentioned, I don't take any notice of airline reviews, and Turkish Airlines have won numerous recent awards as the best European Airline, so that says it all.

I can thoroughly recommend this holiday, please see the holiday reviews section, and if you need any further information don't hesitate to ask.

Regards

Caroline

Hi. I agree with Jaya. I flew to Istanbul last year with Turkish Airlines and was very impressed. They knocked spots off BA who I flew to Spain with at Christmas. Istanbul is magical - wish I were going again!!

Thanks Jaya, I will travel with TA with almost no qualms now - the reviews I read came from a search of TA Reviews and, as you say, probably included those who held a grudge. I was thinking of upgrading but don't think I'll bother now! I'm really looking foward to going to Istanbul, but I decided to leave it until November, and it'll be just for a city break (5 days).

Hi Douglas, thanks for that - I'm much more confident about TA now!

I flew Turkish Airlines also when I went to Istanbul, Troy and Ephesus in 2013 and was also a little worried when I saw we would be flying Turkish Airlines. I was so impressed with everything, probably one of the best airlines I have been with anywhere. As previously mentioned by others, crew are attentive, food is excellent, clean modern plane. I would have no hesitation flying with Turkish Airlines again, have no concerns at all.
