This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Agreed, from ground staffs to cabin crews, there is nothing special but the food. Dreaming to be the Hub of the world without senses of hospitality, it ain't gonna happen.

@shaobojiang5353 Год назад

Hi Kevin, thank you so much for these great videos! I really enjoy your narratives. I missed the old set-up where you put how much you got the ticket or the hotel on the screen, so everything is there and we don’t need to have another click. Have a good day!

@tfft Год назад

Removing them from the video itself gives the video a “better chance” especially for resorts in Southeast Asia. Someone in the US might see a beach resort in Phuket for $200 for example and automatically write the hotel off because they think the price is too low (based on prices in the US…) and not up to the standards they’re looking for- when in fact the opposite is likely true. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Hi Kevin, thanks for another great review again. I totally agree no take off and landing view, it’s not a trip report. The worst scenario is to take video of plane’s cameras, may be 😂.

@tfft Год назад

I try to do both when tail cameras are available! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@well-blazeredman6187 Год назад

That 1977 gate area really did need a gaggle of Braniff stewardesses passing through, to date it properly. Food looked good. I'd happily fly with Turkish. Looking forward to your Jakarta videos.

@tfft Год назад

Totally agree about the gaggle and I’d move into the Park Hyatt in Jakarta if I could! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@gazza2004 Год назад

Hi Kevin, I think RU-vid is certainly match making us today. I am comparing Qatar vs Turkish Airlines Business class for flights from the UK to Phuket. After another informative video, I think I would rather take an outbound flight in economy and fly back in business with Qatar. Keep making great content 👌

@tfft Год назад

Google likely knows more about us than we know about ourselves 😅 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@HelloOnepiece Год назад

My experience with TK crew is that they are robotic and overworked, but still pay attention to the customers. My dad had lie down in economy because of his back, and while the flight attendant was not kind nor chatty, but she brought a pillow right away when she noticed it... good point if you are an introvert

Not good considering I heard a lot of great reports. I flew Malaysian airlines from KL to Bali yesterday went business and it was fantastic from check in to the end especially the staff just brilliant. Thank you for another great report, I do take notice and sort of plan from it.

@ViNguyen-ck4uy Год назад

I wonder if the route from JFK to Istanbul on Turkish airline would be similar. Another great video btw!

@tfft Год назад

Turkish uses 777-300ERs exclusively on their three daily JFK routes, so yes the seat would be very similar to what you see in this video. My video coming out tonight is on one of those 777s. Nothing too exciting, seat wise ☺️ Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@AQWorldsRay Год назад

2:45 - The timing of the clip transition made me think you were making an eloquent joke about Kenya Airways being bathroom decor lol

@tfft Год назад

Oh god no haha, just unfortunate timing! I guess because I knew it was about the bathrooms I didn't "see" it that way 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@brilliantbutblue Год назад

I just come back when l need a good old laugh! "Nutty Gate Crew" in the FF score 😅😅 an Airport the size of that new mecca in Istanbul and no gate available 🤔 l have questions that need answers because just why 🤷‍♀️ l am constantly amazed at when your Flights have a delay even on a relatively short hop the time made up is impressive, my Cousins just flew from Schiphol-Dubai-Melborne on Emirates, about a 1hr 45min delay in Dubai due to an unwell passenger suddenly needing to be removed (like they couldn't have realised this on the 3hr layover) with luggage AFTER the doors closed yet still arrived in Melbourne 10mins early! It's the little things that make me happy 😊

@tfft Год назад

I’d guess, “We will do everything in our power to make sure you can’t make a claim against us” is the rationale behind super padded time tables.

@brilliantbutblue Год назад

I just turned 50 on the 27th October and lm absolutely certain this terminal and bathroom decor pre dates even my Birth 😅

Had to chuckle when you said the plane would be taking a 'u-eeee'. I've only heard it in Australia/by Australians. Where did you pick that up from? :)

How often does Turkish have the 30% off sale?

@tfft Год назад

To my knowledge, I caught the 2nd one they did. Not sure if it’ll come again. Seems like AMEX’s September transfer bonus extravaganzas might be a yearly thing though essentially making some airlines 20-30% off. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I m trying to decide between Qatar and Turkish and Turkish is $800 cheap with Business lounges access in Istanbul, but I think the $800 is worth for the Qsuites

@@tfft travelled last time from JFK to Islamabad and the JFK to Doha part had the Q suits, unfortunately they are now charging etc for lounge use in Doha and JFK which will be America lounge.

I would have agreed with you with TK's website being circus if not for Airfrance... i am trying to change my return date for the 4th day in a row... but we are progressing now itsnot crashing the site anymore... but I have initianery for both return dates...? And my checked in baggage "right" just vanished

Anytime I have a problem contacting an airline my goto solution is call their Singapore number. Don't know why, but it's generally a fast track to a human. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@homer3152 Год назад

Great video, as always. Turkish meatballs are always great:) Wines on Turkish are poor, though. And though i always avoid 2-2-2 configurations this one is fine, giving you 3 windows..nice. is it fair to compare this to European business class? Not sure. Not even sure about whether Turkey is a european country...certainly not by history and culture. Really hope you used those 4 hours delay for a profound and mouth watering review of their lounge:)

@tfft Год назад

Comparing it to European business class, agree it's a long shot- but in my years of watching reviews about intraeuropean routes (especially on Turkish) there is always a list of comments a la "you should be happy you had a lie flat seat on an intraeuropean flight and stop complaining" 😂... so just wanted to get ahead of that. And I really did hope that I'd be able to spend my layover gobbling up everything on offer in the lounge, but as you'll see in tonight's video... that was not at all the case 😩 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@ladoohvillz9236 3 месяца назад

As for me, great food matters. As long as the aircraft does not smell like fish and I’m able to carry 23kg x 2. Turkish airways is better than all the European airlines put together. KLM, Air France and BA are the most horrible airlines ever. The no. 1 airline I. Europe should be Virgins & to some extent Lufthansa. All the rest are garbage, Iberia, Alitalia etc. The best airlines are in Asia- Singapore, Qatar, Ethihad, and Emirates of this world. Delta would have been good but their food is horrible and they’re more expensive than their counterparts on the same route

@tfft 3 месяца назад

If food is the main attraction to you then in my mind that disqualifies your conclusion lol. TK is great for its seats and aircraft, but if we're going to talk about business class catering, I'd rather have Air France, Iberia, SWISS, etc any day of the week simply for the quality of their food.

@ladoohvillz9236 3 месяца назад

@@tfft I’ve heard good stuffs about Swiss air but they’ve been out of my route. Did you say Air France?? I’m done with ya! I don’t know what great food looks like to ya! Regardless of culture, Air France food sucks. As for Iberia, they’re in between. You might just have a bad taste

@tfft 3 месяца назад

…or you might? Lol. I have multiple AF experiences, some on the channel and food quality has always been top notch ex: Paris.

@dexon777 Год назад

So many different a330 variety in Turkish fleet for that reason your flight experience never will be same like the previous flight. In addition they have an old outdated business class in a330s and some 777s. a350 and 787 flights are far better.

@tfft Год назад

A350/787s are surely much better… but still just have ‘SQ’s Regional Business’ seat haha. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
