Thanks for sharing your experiences.

In Turkey and flights to/from Turkey, I don't know why but no-one observes row-by-row deboarding.
By the way, did XQ enforced the no carry-on rule in both directions or did they let in large carry-on's into the cabin?

I have never flown XQ on an international flight but when they did fly to SAW, I really enjoyed their ₺39.99 fares to Izmir.
Now, as they aren't flying to Istanbul, I am not able to fly them that often.
