New Turkish business class

[RooFlyer]

Following on from the QR announcement at the Farnborough Air Show, Turkish have announced theirs - and this time, a marked step-up from their previous offering (2-3-2). Apparently its basically the same, or similar to Qantas' A350 sunrise J seats and Air India's new ones - Safran Unity; with doors and other styling features.

Said to be on aircraft servicing Australia from 2026 - as usual, that should be taken with a grain of salt, but put it together with the outstanding catering of TK, this will also be something to look forward to.

Looks good - would be great if they would have this on my SIN-IST Boeing 777 flight next year, currently showing a 2-3-2 layout in J

No idea of this the right place to post but no doubt the overpaid Mods will shift it to correct thread



One way or another it will be an experience I just hope the Krug is cold

Turkish pax can also access the SQ lounge. Take your pick… or both!

Tks MEL - won’t be there long and depending on which gate allocated I’ll make decision then

Unfortunately per the other thread here on AFF… the TK experience ex SIN (and KUL) to Australia seems to be more their short-haul/regional service

NFI but it is what it is - it’s only 7hrs and it was reasonably priced so it gets me home

Looks pretty new to me

Old config! Similar to SQ regional i think?

I had it on my recent TK long hauls and I personally thought it better than SQ long haul business because of no bent foot well and a normal bed deployment method

No this is nothing like SQ Regional - this is far superior to that product - seat is even comfortable to sit in - so far an excellent experience - Crew are great but the do already have their ‘Gifts’ - but I cannot believe how lightly this plane is crewed - only 1- Crew total including Flight and Cabin - SQ have 15 or 16 or even 17 total sometimes

Edit: Oops premature exaltation - you are totally trapped in seat once table deployed and meal tray arrives

Sorry, should have clarified… the SQ 787 regional seat (in fact i think it is the same seat).

Small serving Tiramisu but I am not a sweet sweets guy - way too sweet and rich for me - (btw exactly how boomy attempts to portray himself

BUT BUT BUT - coolest thing onboard are these tiny little salt and pepper shakers - OMG - these are so cute

@Blackcat - these are just as cute at the ‘Opera House’ S & P shakers VA had on their intl routes - I am so souveniring these (Cleared with Pursur of course)
