This was my second time with Turkish Airlines. The first was YYZ - IST on November 22nd, 2017 but I was unable to record that as I was very tired and slept through almost the entire flight.
IST - KHI: We arrived at IST around 6:30 pm. After checking in, we headed straight to the waiting lounge. A bus drove us to the plane. Had too many things to carry so it was impossible to take any pictures.
Seat 30K
The plane was pretty clean and the legroom was better than the 777-300ER on the YYZ - IST flight.
A video showing various attractions in Turkey was playing throughout the boarding process.
The IFE had a nice collection of movies… however, the headphones provided were not good.
Amenity kit
Cabin soon after takeoff
Government of Pakistan Health Declaration cards were handed out a few minutes after takeoff.
Dinner service.
Rice with chicken curry, a warm bun, salad and I don't exactly remember but I think it was tangerine mousse. The meal was pretty good actually, better than the dinner served on the YYZ - IST flight.
Tea served after dinner
Halfway through the flight
I don't know which city this is, but we were somewhere over Iraq.
Drinks were served about an hour before landing.
Arrival at KHI.

Conclusion
The best thing about Turkish Airlines, in my opinion, is their crew. Everyone was nice and helpful, even their staff at Istanbul Airport. I would definitely recommend Turkish Airlines for long-haul travel.

Thank you for this flight report. Yes, Turkish usually offers good service in economy. Please check departure time: you wrote 09.35 but I think it is 21.35.
Welcome to flight-report.com, and thanks for sharing a great look at longhaul economy on one of the more interesting airlines in the world.
The amenity kit doesn’t look extensive — but it’s nice to even get one in longhaul Y, so I wouldn’t complain about an eyemask and earplugs.
“Government of Pakistan Health Declaration cards were handed out a few minutes after takeoff.” - Always a thoughtful detail to hand these out early in the flight, as opposed to a mad rush at the end.
Turkish is, of course, known primarily for its in-flight cuisine, and it’s nice to see that economy longhaul is no exception. It looks quite enjoyable.
I was going to comment about the flight time of this flight, but I see BLDavid has already identified the source of the issue, which is more than I accomplished.
Thanks again for sharing this, and once again, welcome to flight-report.com.
