TK has a great product on this short flight.
Very good product indeed. Thanks for your comments.
The cost cutting on CX is particularly noticeable, especially on supper flights.
Thanks for commenting.
The CIP lounge is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) business lounge but I find the staff to be quite soulless. You were not tempted for a shoulder massage ? ;)
I'm surprised to see that IFEs at emergency rows are even deployed for boarding.
A turkey sandwich onboard TK. What else ? ;)
"You were not tempted for a shoulder massage ? ;)"
- I'm selective about who touches me. :P
"I'm surprised to see that IFEs at emergency rows are even deployed for boarding."
- It's the first time that I encounter this too.
"A turkey sandwich onboard TK. What else ? ;)"
- Very fitting.
Thanks for stopping by.
The lounge looks much emptier than when I was there even though we were there at the same time of day. I never tried the showers there, but I'll add that to my list of shower rooms to visit :P
As Clement mentioned, I have never seen the IFEs pre-released in exit row seats before. That and they left them out during take off and landing. Isn't that safety violation for obstructing exit paths?
So this catering was identical to my ATH-IST sector. I found the tuna sandwich to be better (that is if you don't mind the cat breath). How did they do on timing? I can imagine it can get tight to do a full service on a wide-body if the load factor is high enough. I think this plays into how robotic the crews are, I'd rather them finish service than be friendly.
" it's like deja vu ;)"
- Are you sure about that? ;)
"I never tried the showers there, but I'll add that to my list of shower rooms to visit :P"
- It's one of the better ones for a lounge out there.
"Isn't that safety violation for obstructing exit paths?"
- When in Rome.....
"How did they do on timing? I can imagine it can get tight to do a full service on a wide-body if the load factor is high enough. I think this plays into how robotic the crews are, I'd rather them finish service than be friendly."
- Oh they were busting it. They did the service with carts and very efficiently I must say.
Thanks for your visit Michael.
"At the beginning there was someone occupying the seat next to me but after take off he moved to the back."--> you wrote you had a shower in the lounge, didn't you? Ok, it's not what I thought about (LOL)
Another aircraft swaping. Good thing you had an exit row seat.
Short flight but an enjoyable one. Thank you Adan
"Come on, Adan, don't tell me you ate only these dishes in the CIP lounge."
- What you saw is what I ate. ;) You know how hard it is to be in shape.
" Ok, it's not what I thought about (LOL)"
- Do you think I am intimidating? :P
"Good thing you had an exit row seat."
- It was a good consolation. I learned that TK can be very "reliable" when it comes to equipment schedule.
Thanks Bernard for your support.
They need a bigger airport in IST
"Due to a late flight I missed the lounge earlier this year transiting through IST."
- That's a shame. Maybe next time.
"Glad to hear your comments on the FA's as well. I've read lots of bad reports on them but mine were great. I think sometimes they get a bad rap. "
- They might not be the most friendly, but they are always polite. At least in my experience.
"They need a bigger airport in IST"
- I guess that's in the works north of Istanbul.
Thank you for your comments.
I got really hungry after those lounge pictures, definitely an outstanding lounge.
TK and its aircraft swaps... haha. Nice you got the 330 with a special livery. Beautiful spotting shots.
IST went to "night-mode" really fast haha.
Catering looks great as expected :).
Have a good one, see you!
Catering at TK's IST lounge is outstanding, but they tend to run out of the grilled items pretty quickly. As soon as a new batch is out, people get in line and it's gone in seconds.
I learned to expect the unexpected with TK when it comes to aircraft swaps. ;)
Thanks for your comments.
