Really? I was lead to believe that things had changed at Turkish - but it would seem not. I know people have come on here and said that BA crew have not done safety briefings or done them where they could not be seen - something that I know is highly unlikely but not completely impossible I suppose.
I suppose that the moral of one's tale is that flying via anywhere is always fraught.
So - you flew all the way to Istanbul and then flew in the wrong direction to FRA to take LH on to Osaka. Sounds wonderful.
