My mom is looking at flying to Istanbul, and wants to use AA miles. I didn't see any trip reports on Turkish Airlines when I searched. Does anyone have any experiences on it, particularly in J?

I'm against the idea of her flying on Turkish, mainly because it violates my rule about not flying on the flag carrier of any nation where it is unsafe to drink the tap water.

Actually, TK are pretty good in J, and I've travelled with them a LOT (LHR - IST - ALA). Not much to add to other comments on the thread, but there are many worse in more "civilised" countries (and, by the way, the tapwater at least in Istanbul is fine!)
