I flew TK on JFK-IST and IST-ORD earlier this month, both on 77W's in F.
- JFK-IST was delayed 5 hours, neither OLCI or any agents decided to inform me until I showed up to the airport. In fact, all four of my flights were delayed at least an hour.
- My IST-ORD flight had only one operable suite in the whole cabin(Although the door took some work to close)! Thankfully I was the only passenger. All other seats were missing the seat control screen, they were all removed...leads me to believe a pretty big issue? Maintenance of cabins looked like it was lacking...
- Service on all my flights was spotty and far from polished. Food was OK, so were amenities, however I really found communication and service leaving a lot to be desired. Language barrier probably had a lot to do with it.
- Ground service was the shining star of my trip. My oh my those Turkish women are very easy on the eyes
Overall, I had high expectations for TK, however I really missed my usual LH F. There is no excuse for not posting the 5 hour delay on my JFK-IST flight until after 2. Come on, the outbound hadn't taken off and no one could update it?!
I found more problems than good with this trip.
