Thanks! Strange though, as for me the TK A319 has loads of legroom compared to the A333... Strange, isn't it?

Looks like that is the 4th version of TK's Y amenity kit tins.

Did you also get menus and slippers too ? I had seen someone took TK Y out of HKG, there are slippers in addition to amenity kits. Not sure if it is just for Asia routes though.

I was on the A333, and A321. I think the 321 was worse than 333. I'll have to keep an eye out for the 319.

Mmmm, looks good! I flew TK Y RT IAD-IST 3 years ago and was impressed with the food then as well. In my opinion TK's economy catering, put on a nicer plate with some garnishes, is many airlines' J catering.

My gripe with the 333 is the IFE boxes. They are the scourge of the earth, destroyer of legroom. If the 319 had the same pitch as the 333, but no IFE boxes, legroom would be fine.

Amenity kit contents look the same as back when I flew. For the poster mentioning slippers, I think that must be for the Asian routes - it was socks for us.

The A330 is not a comfortable plane. Also on SWISS.

I disagree. It depends on the config. My A330 experiences on LX and TK have been fantastic. The AB A330 config is far too cramped though. 2-4-2 seating is also preferable to 3-3-3 seating (B777) for most folks although AA's 2-5-2 seating on its 772s is not bad.

My QR flight just got swapped from an A330 (2-4-2) to a 787 (3-3-3). The 787 is a brand new plane but think I actually prefer the A330 for Y.
