As the captain stated it was due to very bad weather at Istanbul and crew but I don't know what it was about. Infact bad luck has been following me throughout this trip, the DUS strike, 3.5 delay to Izmir, 1H delay on my 777 flight etc. I think the biggest reason for me being dissapointed quickly wi...

Hello Dear friends, Part of flights I had recently was TK2354 to Izmir. As you know Turkish mostly flies 2-2 configuration on narrow body planes however some of their older 320&737's still have the "european style" fake business class seats. On that day flight was operated by TC-JPL, a...

Hello Dear Friends, This time not a "review" but more an avgeek video to share with you. The Airbus 350 is amazingly quiet and comfortable to say the least. Winter OPS were in effect out of Helsinki and we had a perfect sunny arrival into Tokyo. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/KBIHcW1EbZg

Hello dear friends, I have recently flown on Turkish with their A330-300 and I must say it was a lot more than I expected in many ways. Infact the strike hit and the airport was crowded with travellers. There were very long queues to check-in at different airlines, at Turkish however it all went smo...

Hello Dear Friends, I had a great flight yesterday from Izmir(ADB) to Ankara(ESB) flying TC-JVU. To my surprise I was alone in the business cabin😎 Flight itself was great and uneventful, short domestic 1H trip however bad weather prevails in Turkey so I had a few changes to my other flights this wee...

Yes indeed it happened at slow speed. Not the first this happens either they had the same incident somewhere in Scandinavia a few years back with the same type of aircraft, an A321 in the mud at IST as well as many I can't recall. It is not an issue in such places but I would hate to be out of runwa...

It would take a lot of topics to talk about all of their accidents&incidents.

By the way TK442, a Turkish 737-800 registered TC-JVI just went off runway at Lviv,(LWO)!!

Hello Aviation 24 friends, I would like to share this wing view video for avgeeks who like me break their neck to watch that wing in action over and over every and each time! I have flown more than 100 times on the 737 but still can't travel like an average passenger. A window seat is a must and wat...

Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 (can be also referred to as the Poldercrash or the Schiphol Polderbaan incident) was a passenger flight that crashed during landing at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Netherlands, on 25 February 2009, resulting in the death of nine passengers and crew, including all three pi...

They will transfer once for all. That is the main reason for them to postpone the transfer everytime they want to be fully ready once for all. On the other hand they simply cannot sell a ticket which does not mention there would be some sort of commuting in between airports.(would mention BRU-IST->I...

Hello H.A. Yes they report on every and each flight prior to take off and landing. Infact there are a few flights operating out of ISL already for a few month now to include Baku, Ercan, Izmir,Antalya and Ankara to start with. Last I heard on the Turkish media was they expect the "big transfer&...

Great to know

It seems like I'll be flying TK again this January from Germany and a few domestic flights as well would you guys be interested to see more or enough TK for you?

Infact, I just realised I should not call this an island but I think we all got why I called it so. André your picture is stunning! Flying Turkish very often and on various destinations, I see they are good but maybe lack a standard.(still growing? Growing too fast?) For instance some flights you ge...

Hello dear Aviation 24 familly, I am back from my mileage run and guess who is a Star Alliance gold member 😎. As you know in aviation changes occur very often due to many different reasons to include weather, regulations, technical problems etc. Now during my mileage run I had various flights cancel...

Hello André,

You are very welcome.
Infact meal was great on all flights I had during this "mileage run".
Seats were OK not very comfy but still when I think about miles and the gold status it will bring me, it felt like my bed

Hello dear Aviation 24 familly, As I posted previously I travelled to Turkey to become a star alliance gold member. Infact, Turkish Airlines promoted flights out of Istanbul's new airport by giving 5X miles on flights in and out of the airport. So I booked a few very cheap domestic business class fl...

Hello, To select your seat there is an extra fee. What I do most of the time with low cost airlines is I proceed like if I was going to check in then check out the automaticaly assigned seat, if It is a window seat I check in if not i just cancel. As an example on this flight I tried it two days bef...

Hello dear Aviation 24 familly, As Turkish Airlines is giving 5X miles on flight departing and arriving Istanbul ISL (new airport) till end of the year it was the occasion for me to get some star alliance miles and also a star alliance gold status fast and cheap. Turkish still has seats available on...
