Just flew AUH-CAI-IST on MS in C, then IST-AUH on Turkish.

Difference is like night and day. MS metal was 737-800 on 1st leg, then a very tired A320 on 2nd leg. Staff were not at al happy on 1st leg, entertainment didnt work, and of course no gin and tonic available

Cairo airport check in was ok, glad to be doing it in C though as the Y check in was a zoo. The lounge was open and...functional. As there were a LOT of smokers, smoke drifted right into the lounge

The Turkish experience was great. Easy check in, great lounge^, and a very good flight, with excellent staff and meal.

IMHO, MS have a long way to go to get remotely close to any other Star carrier.
