The State of Turkish Airlines in 2024 | Flight Review | 787-9 | TK192 from Dallas to Istanbul

Hello 👋!!!

In this video I am flying on Turkish Airlines from Dallas, Texas to beautiful Istanbul, Turkey on their flagship 787-9. This flight was very exceptional with provided amenities and plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment to get past the 11 hour flight.

- Summary Items - -

Service - There was plenty service with many beverages and snacks offered throughout the flight. The staff was nice and patient and was willing to help with bags while boarding.

Inflight Entertainment - An extremely extensive entertainment system was provided with plenty of movies and TV shows to get by the long haul flight. However, I was not able to get the WiFi working.

Seat - The seat was great with individual air-vents, both USB ports and Universal power outlets, and an HD IFE screen. I did think the seat cushion was a little thinner than I would like after the flight I did have pain in my lower back, and when I took a flight on their 777 product with a different seat with a little more padding I did not have that issue.

Food - Turkey in general is very good with food so the airline was no exception. Good portions were given and were very tasty with good flavor. Their signature bread roll in every meal is so good. The only negative I have was they had no cold drinks/soda other than Pepsi. No sprite or 7 up or coke or anything other than Pepsi.
