Got back yesterday from a work trip from IST. Despite BA status, I opted to fly Turkish (where I have no status), primarily to be able to keep my laptop. The prices were comparable, but Turkish also came with a 3 course hot meal in both directions in Y. While BA have the option of buying a sandwich...

Assuming BA eventually can let passengers take electronics back into the cabin, I will probably continue to use Turkish on this route, both for business and leisure with family.
