Pre packaged food and deserts with Hot Pide's and Meat Balls. And if you are flying to Turkey, it is the fastest and safest way to fly.
Thank you.
I will be making connection in Turkey, never had to go out of my way to connect there, but since TK is one of a very few airlines, which flies to my destination with quite a few daily flights, I was considering it. Another option is BA, which is I am not a fan of at all, plus more chances of cancellation and being stuck at LHR for a day or more.
TK knows its advantage, and doesn`t sell tickets via Expedia and Travelocity, as they sell it directly nowadays.
And that 2-3-2 configuration in J is a turning off point, especially if you get in that middle seat with no privacy.
