About Turkish Airlines (from Wikipedia):
Turkish Airlines (Turkish: Türk Hava Yolları) or officially Türk Hava Yolları Anonim Ortaklığı is the flag carrier of Turkey. As of 2022, it operates scheduled services to 340 destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas,[8] making it the largest mainline carrier in the world by number of passenger destinations. The airline serves more destinations non-stop from a single airport than any other airline in the world and flies to 126 countries, more than any other airline. With an operational fleet of 24 cargo aircraft, the airline's cargo division Turkish Cargo serves 82 destinations.
The airline's corporate headquarters are at the Turkish Airlines General Management Building on the grounds of Istanbul Atatürk Airport in Yeşilköy, Bakırköy, Istanbul. Istanbul Airport in Arnavutköy is the airline's main base, and there are secondary hubs at Ankara Esenboğan Airport and Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport. Turkish Airlines has been a member of the Star Alliance network since 1 April 2008.
About Boeing 787 (from Wikipedia):
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an American wide-body jet airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After dropping its unconventional Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, which focused largely on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 aircraft from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction. On July 8, 2007, a prototype 787 was rolled out without major operating systems, and then the aircraft experienced multiple delays until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. Type certification was received in August 2011 and the first 787-8 was delivered in September 2011 before entering commercial service on October 26, 2011, with ANA.

Yes, you could fly Emirates, Qatar, etc. on this route and I agree that Turkish keeps its European and American routes more fun/tidyö etc. However, you would probably pay double the amount for just barely better food.
flew business from Amsterdam to Dubai with Turkish recently, Emirates was 3 times as expensive
No you won't.
I'm looking at Business Class flights from Washington DC to BKK right now.
I'm going with Etihad this time, same price, wider seats for sleeping.
787 is the perfect example of airlines liking it while travelers hating it especially that dimming windows being locked...
seems like it was a positive experience and you are just nitpicking at what you can
Yes, but he gave you the context.
@@cchris874it’s not as bad as TrekyTendy, who is very difficult to satisfy.
@@leflores91 I'll have to give him a try. Josh is also very hard to please.
Cramped seats, but the food is great
Love your videos Dan… but be mindful about promoting masterworks and linking it to sound like a smart investment in the cost of living crisis. It’s perhaps one of the most risky investments one can make, there is no clear exit or secondary market. Be mindful about not promoting companies which will take advantage of a poorly educated consumer. You have a sizeable audience, you wouldn’t want to be responsible for even a handful of them losing all their money because you wanted to get sponsorship - it’s a high risk investment, not a product or service.
Otherwise, keep up the good work.
yeah love the channel but wish he would stop taking this particular sponsorship, its bordering on fraudulent
Thanks for your comment Zack. I'm curious what makes you speak so poorly of them? I've personally invested thousands of dollars on the platform and while the long holding times can be a drawback for some, it is a legitimate investment. Googling "Masterworks IO reviews" shows you a variety of articles than support this, from Forbes to Business Insider. All pieces are secured with the SEC. Any investment carries risk, but Masterworks is definitely a legitimate company.
th-cam.com/video/6ojOkPmm8lw/w-d-xo.html
ThePlainbagel (Richard coffin) from TH-cam is a CFA and CFP, he discussed the significant illiquid risks of masterworks which Dan clearly omits in his advert
Hey Dan, long time subscriber here. Love your content (can’t wait to fly a ME airline!) and have to agree with Zach. Masterworks sells something very close to an ‘investment’, yes, but it is unregulated by the SEC and in general only appropriate for people who do not need their money back or can lose all of it. Richard of The Plain Bagel did a great deep dive into it recently - check it out!
See you in the skies :)
@@ericageissman when you sign up for masterworks you have to schedule a call and basically warn you of these things (need a higher risk tolerance and don’t need the money for several years) and only then approve you, they also ask about your income and stuff
I'm struggling to see what the issue is. Looks like a superb product that I, as a regular business traveller, would be v happy with. Well done Turkish Airlines.
Yeah , he is saying … was good , delicious something , but his title is worst , what the heck :) , its obvious purpose is to show in bad way
@@altasfurkan it's probably because it's an economy class meal, and when compared to other airlines that operate this same route, tk is flawed.
You're not supposed to get economy meals in business class. You're not getting what you pay for.
He did explain, cheap meal, bad crew, so compare to other TK flights he has had, this one's bad.
You are struggling to understand why people have issue with being served economy class meal on a business class ticket?
I've flown Turkish Airlines business class IAD-IST and the food was quite good and so many courses I had to tell them to stop bringing anymore food. Pod was comfortable and service was great.
So happy to hear that I booked flights on this route next spring hearing good things about the food and service. I'm doing a stopover in IST and then going to VCE.
I didn't feel like the food out of IAD was good.
I also booked this flight. The food was amazing but the seats were outdated!
@@ayushsaha7281Great on the food front sucks on the seat part. Currently my flight is scheduled to have the same seats in the video but I live in fear of an equipment swap 😖
@TheThirdoftheFifth this airline is notorious for delays, please do your research and book someone else. Signed a business class traveler.
Bro, i am confused. What are you so upset about? Everything looks clean and tidy...
he is comparing turkish airlines with middle eastern airlines instead of european airlines
Cramped seats for sleeping.
Turkish needs to upgrade to "The Room".
Turkish can be an excellent value for money business class option on some routes, especially when booked early it can compete with a full price economy ticket on some airlines such as Emirates.
There is nothing wrong with Turkish airlines, Turkish airlines offer superb service on the ground and in the air.
It's good, me airlines are better. Offering business class passengers the same quality meals as economy is unacceptable
this guy seems like the type to recline his chair in economy on a long haul flight
HELP-
How are you meant to sleep without reclining the chair??? The recline function is there for a reason,
what's wrong with that? lmao u've obviously never flown before
Hey Dan, the video is only 360p, can u please upload it again, thankss
Glad I’m not the only one!! I thought my app suddenly broke
same
@@duditon1 sameeee
It takes time for some resolution(s) to load. It could even take a hour for the 4k resolution!
@@part_icular its been almost 3 hours since the video got uploaded... 💀
Great review as always Dan!
What are you frustrated about?
Nice report! Hopefully you get to experience the new catering service on your next flight.
This cabin dimming thing...is becoming more common....definitely adds a negative edge on a daytime flight.
Dan always serves the tea we need, with just the right amount of information, drama, and shade stirred in ☕️
Can I use this as a testimonial? LOL
And topping up the drama by comparing the crew, with "the sad and lonely food" (7:10) really tops it😂😂
@@NonstopDan Absolutely!! 😄 💯
Isn’t unfair to call the crew like their hate their jobs? Maybe Their just exhausted or whatever it maybe has a reason I get ur point but their also just humans u know?
Great content as always.
An informative video. Last week Turkish Airlines handed out to us almost the exact amenity kit on a long haul economy flight!
that collection of bags are only for business class and have 6 different design. contents might be close but the bags are the point.
Everything is avoid this avoid that... You need to stop living to standards from other airlines and see it for what it is. Also, 1 flight doesn't mean avoid the airline
@ 3:42, yes unfortunately this is so true, on a round trip to Instanbul from London in BizClass, there was hardly no interaction, no smiles, nothing from the crew (although the Starters and Main Course Meals were fine)
Hey Dan! I flew a Turkish Airlines Flight from IAH To lstanbul Airport on the 777 business class. Whats weird is that it was the best flight of my life in terms of soft product. It's so strange to see you have such a bad experience every time you've flown Turkish. Anyhow, keep up the good work.
same here, Brussels to Istanbul to Manila. we had the best flight/food ever.
Dan takes pride in being an insufferable crybaby. What is his complaint about the salt and pepper shakers? If he were nicer to the crew maybe they would be more friendly.
@@peterrisbergs7156facts
I've been on a 13 hr flight in economy back in the early 2000s this guy can cry me a river 😂😂😂😂
Love these ❤❤
flying airlines, always "self-funded".... duh, pretty sure the ad revenue from youtube pays for it
Turkish Airlines is one of my favorite airlines 👍
Isn't it illegal to dim window shades durong takeoff and landing? If anything, they should lock it on the lowest setting
why is it 360p
Nice flight review.
Bro should be glad that he is not flying economy
@NonstopDan gosh, 360p?! It's like RuPaul's Drag Race season 1 filter
Getting a hair transplant in turkery and flying from new zealand but looking at my options for flying business class.. i had never heard of oman air before and was hesitant but after watching reviews of other youtubers they are definitely high above the rest of the options! And an all day menu is an added bonus!
Omg how is it that I have missed seeing you twice at the same airport when I was there on the same date and time as you🤣. I'm a huge fan
Hey Dan, thanks for the video. I was looking to fly their 787 to Istanbul next month, after I had two wonderful flights with them from Ulaanbaatar to IST to Miami this past week [A330/B777]. Both were daytime flights in their older business class seats. I generally prefer the newer business class seats airlines offer nowadays, but, I was surprisedly not bothered by the older seats, including the 2-2-2/2-3-2 configuration. It was my first time flying them long-haul. I recently flew them short-haul in Europe in business, and they were very good flights. With that said, like you, I was very unhappy when they closed the window shades on both long-haul daytime flights. I mean, that's why they give out eye shades...right? When I do get a window seat, like you, I love to look out the window...it would not have been allowed on these two flights. Also, the plane was so hot on both flights. Anyway, I will likely fly them again when I go to Tajikistan, as the service/food has generally been pretty good.
I forgot to mention...although IST is beautiful, it's a horrible airport...too much walking, not enough seats, long taxi times, and no seats in the business class lounges. Wish they could somehow improve these deficiencies.
Nonstop Dramaqueen🎉
..., and you seem a bit bitter. Wish I could help you.
@Niklas Seljemo maybe you should help Dan instead, he seems a lot more bitter...
@@travellercph4106 He doesnt need help. If he is not satisfied he is open about that, but it doesnt mean he is bitter. If you dont like him you just dont have to watch his videos.
one reason i avoid 787 is the autoblind i personally think it should be the passenger who pays a lot of money choice to open or close the blinds many airlines crews likes to make that choice for us in which i do not agree
Has HD not processed yet?
Turkish is flying from Detroit now. I’m looking at their business product to Italy versus delta premium select. Watching your video it looks like this is way nicer than premium select on delta.
I’ve taken that route many times in economy. the only time I favor Turkish when I’m not traveling light. Turkish has higher baggage allowance than emirates
Interesting perspective - that's a good consideration!
About three years ago I flew Canada Air from PHX to FRA and they locked the windows. THat's the reason why I avoid the Dreamliner like the plaque. I realize now that that is not mandatory, but back then I thought that was a Dreamliner thing since it was fairly new (to me) at the time.
Where may I find those seat maps you show in your videos? Greetings from Mexico.
When I flew THY' s business on the a330 from IST to FRA the Internet didnt work for me😢
This is why I try to avoid 787’s. I should be able to look out of the window if I want to.
I love ya Dan, but I think way to many folks get lost in the weeds in these travel vids. I for one am thrilled to only have to spend x amount of hours in a seat rather than being forced to take a train, boat or bus the same distance. All you are really doing by paying more for a first or business or premium economy seat is getting more space to yourself.
Food, amenities, working power connections, wifi are all negotiable perks from an airline. When they do well, they may spend more for customer retention, when things are slow, kinda like a global recession things get stingy. So that being said, yeah its a pain, but considering the alternatives its not so bad in the grand scheme of things. Cheers
But I think his channel is comparing it to other airline alternatives
Does Turkish Airlines has a licitation for a business class?
Let's remember with his reviews, he reviews what the flight is, not what it is compared to an economy class. Compare them to the AMAZING other airlines in the area, such as Qatar or Emirates, and you see why he says to not fly this route. Keep up the great reviews Dan! Also... maybe review the JetBlue Mint Business Class from JFK--->Paris!
Had similar issue in TK, flew business FRA to IST which was fantastic. I was suppose to be on another flight to Saudi with them, but that was another fiasco. So I end up flying to DXB on red eye in economy in a A350, and that was horrible.
Don’t expect economy to be a premium cabin like it’s just a profit maker for airlines.😊
Do you have to call to book 2 seats? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it online.
Gonna try out the airline but in economy and hopefully avoid flying on the 787 (MID-liner)
Dan! Great video, I love your content :) You should try to speak a little native language with the flight attendants next time you can. I'm sure a few would love it. A Japanese FA I had on my flight over there had such fun with it. Look forward to your next video, Nate.
I remember you going in the same route but in the boeing 777
Personally turkish airlines is my personal favorite airline dont forget turkish airlines is still pretty good and its prices are very good compared to emarets or qatari
Something similar happened to me too on my flight with lot polish airlines flight from WAW-BOM
The dimming windows, the exact reason why I prefer not flying the 787s
Has he or any other travel vlogger used the Turkish Airlines stopover program? I can't find any good examples of it but it seems to good to be true. Up to 3 nights free at a 5 star hotel in Istanbul? I'd love to see non-stop Dans review of it!
Thanks man
Hi Dan, in your opinion, what's the cheapest, but best way to cross the Atlantic Ocean between any European city and New York?
Manchester to New York Aer Lingus for £400.
LGW to JFK FlyNorse, starts around 250£ without addons
360p :(:(:(
Can definitely attest to inconsistent service depending on which flight you take
"I think I know why I remember this meal cuz I had it before" like no shit 💀
you drink the coffee of the planes?? 😂 haven’t you heard that that’s the most dirty drink ever? 😂
Please, can someone let Dan know, that he is „half swede“ or and not „half Sweden“. I doubt that he is half of the country Sweden 😅
i can only get 360p ;/
Video stuck in 360p
hallo，Dan ，what do you think Etihad 787 business Class?
bro says that its his "worst" turkish airlines flight even most of the damn video had positive things.
Overall, still a very good experience considering the redemption with their frequent flyer program. Thanks for sharing!
I will not watch the 360p crap😅
Ahhh you’re the one who always opens the bloody window :-) hahah! In all seriousness they shouldn’t have been so draconian about it.
they werent, they unlocked it on request.
@@germaninsider7890 thanks for your reply “Dan”
their policy to get a free hotel says something else but when you get in the hotel desk all a sudden the policy changes they used to offer hotel layovers for free back in the days when they used to operate in istanbul ataturk since they moved to new airport the quality of the airline decreased. its now almost like low cost airline for example almost like flydubai kinda vibes. you need to pay for seats if u want reserve in advance this didn't even exist
I love despite your best efforts people can see how the experience was leagues above the middle east standart.
what's with the vid quality? only 360p ?
hi can u try air france la premiere? that would so good if u could do so
360p quality Dan?? Did something go wrong dude?
video quality???
Great video
He looks so different without his glasses! Thumbs Up!!!!!
Have you flown zipair?
Seat looks pretty much the same as medium haul flights on Singapore Airlines 787's.
Do they serve champagne?
How is Turkish Airlines for long term flight..Im planning to fly from India to LA on economy..
Dont, they are notorious for delays and not compensating for delays.
Why would you keep that window open when everybody is asleep🙃
nitpicky much?
Phaha he should try flying economy with Turkish. If he thinks food in Business is bad, in the Economy it will make him vomit. I got something that was supposed to be an omelet with vegetables it turned out it was an unrecognizable microwaved sponge and I found some bigs inside. Well still better than Qatar but that's another story
the food was diappointing for you it seems, not the flight itself?
I love Turkish airlines and i always travel with them the food they give is the Best ever now seeing them cutting its sad 😞. You are right they don’t focus on the Middle East, like Europe, because of the strong competition by the GCC airlines. Which in Europe no airlines give that good service and food and airport experience like Turkish Airlines and Istanbul airport. So yes they are better then all the European airlines and airports In almost everything they just miss first class . That why they push in Europa and USA because their products is a strong competitor in these markets For me Turkish airlines gives that charming and hospitable experience to the travelers in Europe they bring that test of luxury and commodity, from the GCC airlines to Europeans . Which Europa airline’s are into cutting everything and making u pay for everything and airport experience not the best ,from my experience you don’t not enjoy your traveling process traveling from a European airport and European airlines like you do with Turkish airlines and airports and the all the GCC airlines and airports
I have been looking at a Turkish Air business flight and seriously wondering if it is worth it. I have had a horrific experience with Lufthansa! Nightmarish!! Anyhow, I don't want to have another horrible trip so thanks for your video.
On the other side turkish ai,Ines is a great
Airline
Are u greek back round i have been flying with THY it’s best Much better than delta air france stewards really excellent very helpful
Dan, could you please do VS103 in Premium or Upper Class?
Been on that flight a few times, but always in Cattle Class - it would be nice to see what it's like up front
@@TheFatesLieutenant Premium is really nice.
You know what is interesting is that I only fly business/first class and I am more concerned with the size of the seat. I am 6ft2in, 245lbs, I need width and length here, I don't care about mirrors, charging stations or storage space. I'd rather have more seat space. That is what these airlines need to do, make the seats wider and the storage smaller.
My only experience of the cabin crew dimming all the windows was on Air India in 2016. Unfortunately, I did not realize to ask the cabin crew to unlock my window and I'm unsure if the crew would have obliged even if I had asked. This is also one of the reasons why I am not the biggest fan of the Dreamliners overall: at least you can control your window on the other widebodies!
Oh no that's so frustrating! Sorry that happened😩
Well 787 are not very good I didnt flown a 787 but from the reviews show its not that good.
Hi Dan! I always watch your videos and find them really entertaining. I recently also bought a flight with Iberia to visit my family whom I haven't seen in 5 years. Unfortunately after my payment, the ticket was never issued by Iberia and they refuse to refund me. I was wondering if you (or any other reader) ever had such an experience and whether you have any advice on the matter. I usually do not react but I am getting quite desperate. Thank you in advance for reading my comment and keep up the good work!
more often than not this is normal on turkish airlines :D
dan i gotta be real with you man, the masterworks sponsor wasnt really done well i dont think using the cost of living crisis that is very much affecting millions of people as a segue into a sponsorship that you are directly benefitting from is the right message to send even if you didn't mean it. furthermore I understand your comments about the underwhelming crew service, but I feel like due to the recent natural disaster in the country and other national events may have led to a higher downturn to their already fragile economy leading to reductions within the overall service. i don't know about this one man :/
Looks good to me.
17000 points for 5hr in business... thats a really good deal. I cant even get a single domestic flight in thr US for those low points...
my dad works at turkish airlines as a 777 - 787 pilot
Your headline does not match the review..I think it's doing turkish a bit injustice
