Good to hear it was a Turkish delight!

Thanks Matt. This is why I've been hanging out for TK to come to Australia. I've travelled on them on a number of short haul, but never long haul. And looks like the pricing ex Australia is great, too.

@AFF Editor , out of interest, what languages were used for the safety video and then cabin announcements?

The safety video and manual cabin announcements were in Turkish and English. On this flight the automated announcements were in Turkish, English and (European) Spanish.

As it happens, the flight attendant serving my section also happened to have a German flag on his name tag. I told him that was my preferred language and he happily served me in German for the rest of the flight.

Yes, please sour cherry juice - hopefully freshly pressed and not from concentrated.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a huge fan of TK long haul J. I find the seats to be quite small and uncomfortable (on the 787 at least) and I find some male flight attendants to be bordering on rude. Just my experience on several flights. I wouldn't go out of my way to book another TK flight.

On the other hand, I find that short haul fights eg IST-MAN (which I'm flying in a couple of weeks) are generally above average for Europe.

Theirs is the same as SQ 787 seats right?
I have tried the SQ version and it was indeed tight! I'm not a big person at all
Although SQ use it on shorter distance so very acceptable. Over 10 hours maybe not...

recently flew from Melbourne to Singapore on Turkish A350 in Business. Night flight. Not particularly impressive I'm afraid. Seat (Row 1) is cramped and not comfortable for the length of flight. Food ok, but No options on timing.

Welcome to posting on AFF. Anything else you can tell us? Didn't happen to photograph the menu, by any chance?

Overnight flight, we were given slippers in a bag. Did actually take a quick snap of the Menu (apologies for quality of pic)

Thanks.

No topper on the seat/bed; pillow? No PJs I guess.

Was the meal "dinner" (ie served about 7-9pm) or "supper" (served after that)?

flight was scheduled 10.20p.m. No PJs or seat topper. If I remember rightly - you can probably tell it wasn't that memorable - the Ravioli dish had all gone ! I had the Lamb chops which were pretty small, and to her credit the crew member whipped me up some other mushroom pasta to compensate.

Hmmm That's pretty disappointing re the bed situation. I was looking forward to catching TK to Europe next year but won't if that's the situation.

Sorry to go off topic @Mattg - you'll have to do a TK business review soon
