Turkish Airlines 777 Business Class Review – Great Food, Bad Seats?

Welcome back to another trip report. Today we’re flying long-haul in Turkish Airlines Business Class from Istanbul to Chicago O’Hare on the Boeing 777-300ER. This daytime flight clocks in at around 11 hours and showcases some of the highs and lows of the Turkish experience.

Turkish Airlines is known for its world-class lounge in Istanbul and outstanding onboard catering, but their 777 Business Class seats are a different story. In this review, I cover everything from the pre-departure lounge experience to the meals and amenities in the air — and I’ll give you my honest take on whether it holds up to the hype.
