Clean Modern plane, GREAT IFE that ran circles around UA, decent food that I could preorder. No reason to not fly them for a fraction of the price UA wants for J on similar length flights. You don't get the big lie flat seat, but the flight is only marginally longer than many domestic flights. The vultures are circling and unless they run out of money sometime soon will give the legacy's a run for their money on these relatively short flights.



I'm not a big fan of TK. The service actually isn't all that great, and the J seats are the worst semi-lie-flat seats I've even been in. Horrible. Ground service is hopelessly inept, onboard is better but not world class.

I'm actually a fan of the LOT 787 experience and fly via Warsaw every change I get. The food is actually good, they board the nice wines that the menu says they have, service is pleasant, seats are great. Amenities like seat covers are actually provided without having to ask. And you can't beat the price. A bonus is that Warsaw is a dream airport for transfers, and when I was late landing one time there was someone waiting at the gate to help me who walked me through a back way to my next gate.
