Lol. ok. Did not realise I needed to lower the bar. Are you saying I shouldn't expect any different legroom to economy as well?
I have only flown TK J intra-europe twice, but found them very attentive with great food. I wouldn't hesitate flying them again.

How about MEL-BOM-IST? Would seem to make sense from a great circle point of view.
TK already have daily IST-BOM flights and we'd finally get a direct connection to India.
With no domestic *A carrier Perth seems to be an unlikely destination for TK. Maybe NZ codesharing on VA metal in Australia and TK to IST and beyond? I think Sydney would be the obvious first destination for any overseas airline due to the passenger numbers..Pet theory of mine but i wonder whether PER is the obvious destination for airlines like TK. I really think that when Virgin co-locate to the international terminal in Perth they should heavily target the "seamless transfers to other Australian ports" market. Perth massive under-utilises its potential as a gateway due the coughpiness of Int-Dom connections but i can really see that changing with new developments coming online.
I have flown TK 4 times between Istanbul and Izmir (a mere 50 min flight) in the last 9 weeks and their domestic J is much better than QF.I flew J on Turkish recently IST-AMS on a non-discount ticket. Seating was standard economy with economy pitch, service was so-so. Toilet (that's right just one) was not cleaned the entire flight and could best be described as tired. I chose to fly TK in conjunction with SIA because as a Star Alliance partner I expected a minimum standard. I was greatly disappointed.
Would not recommend Turkish for any aspect of the flight.
