Stayed in the SAS Gold Lounge where they had very good food selection including lax, tomato soup, meatballs, ricesalad with vegetables, spicy tuna, etc.
Saw this ad: The New Volvo S90 on the way to the boarding gate
We were about 15 mins delayed departing from Arlanda but still okay for us as we don't have a tight connection in Istanbul. Food was very good specially the salmon
I've flown TK several times and they seem to offer this menu often
For my main course, I had the beef which was tender
Mike had the fish which accdg to him tasted very good as well
A bit of detour before landing in Istanbul
Even if we had a delay from Stockholm, we still landed as scheduled, 11:05pm and parked beside the Turkmenistan airways plane
It's not very often I see planes from such airline so it was cool
We are here now in TK Istanbul Lounge and would be boarding in 30 mins.
I have to say I'm really excited to be back in the Philippines for a lot of reasons:
-to celebrate the holidays at home
-to see the aesthetical improvement at NAIA T1 which TK uses. I know it has been voted the world's worst airport time and time again (how I wish TK uses T3 so we could visit the
gorgeous SQ Lounge)
-celebrate New Year in Boracay which is voted as the best island in the world accdg to the readers of Conde Nast Traveler
-to see how it is for tourists to travel to a land where the President is very much in the news right now for his war on drugs.
