I think we could have closed this thread after pigx5's post #2 - pretty much all you need to know. Great post.

Thank you but we still can talk about the network, MM status, generous MP, beautiful EWR United Club, and 787, right?
I would suggest to let it open.

Yup, who needs the IST lounge with many fresh made food stations, great facilities, a free open bar when you got carrot sticks, plastic cheese, and bad wine....

What are you talking about?!?!?!?!? TK Comfort Class seats have leg/foot rests.

You can't get into the TK IST lounge if you ONLY have a comfort class ticket.

But if *G, yes.

Does OP still have any doubts?

(My vote is for TK as well... no matter which North American airline you put TK against!)

TK Comfort vs. UA

Was definitely leaning toward the TK product before posting, but the comments on here have definitely nudged me to take them for sure. BOM-IST is in regular economy, and longer segment to YYZ is comfort - A class with full mileage.

Thanks all for your comments and experiences.

THY's catering is done by DO&CO, even for regular Y, and overall, THY's Y is pretty goood, they even provide decent quality amenity kits.

E+ on UA vs. TK for TATL travel

Hi everyone,

A friend is flying IAH to ATH and has the following choices:

1) IAH-IST on TK in E+, IST-ATH on TK (Y)
2) IAH-FRA on UA in E+, FRA-ATH on LH (Y)

The fare is approximately the same between the two options.

I heard the E+ class on TK is much nicer than UA. Could you please give your opinion as to which of these options you would chose and why? Thank you!

_____________

Added after reading the thread: My apologies for not searching for this thread first. The answer appears self-evident. Especially thanks to post #2 -- thanks for the pics!

If by TK E+ you mean their "Comfort Class" then 100% do that. It is closer to UA BF than E+. It is delightful.
