Indulge  in exquisite Turkish culinary culture with traditional dishes prepared by their Flying Chefs. The unique travel experience of Turkish Airlines is just something else. If you are new to Turkish Airlines, here’s what to expect.

Business Class Service

If you choose Business Class, Turkish Airlines makes sure you have maximum comfort with special features to make your journey worthwhile. When we think about taking a flight, we think about having a comfortable seat where we can just curl up on the edge and take a nap. Fret not, the airline’s seats are carefully designed with fully lie-flat seats that open into a 193 cm bed, and complimentary pillows and blankets are there for you to feel cozy. During the journey, if you feel like you need to release those tensed muscles, you can use the control panel on your seat to get a little massage with their in-chair massage feature.

Also, their amenity kit includes the eye mask, earplugs, lip balm, and socks – all that will come in handy in your long hour flight. Choose to screen off your own private area if you like, so you can relish in  your own capsule without any disturbance.

Moreover, there is a personal reading lamp, adjustable rotating table, and power socket, so you could work or read as you prefer. Their in-flight entertainment offers the latest films, music playlists, and even documentaries (based on your country of destination) so you can binge-watch all you want. Keep in mind that seating features may vary according to the aircraft type so do double-check when booking.

Flying Chefs in the Sky Kitchen 

The new age of dining on-board is all about you. Having custom-made meals based on our taste buds do make us feel special, right?   Also, let’s be honest,  it is always hard to kill time during flights and we do tend to  get a little more hungry than usual.

You  can kickstart your flight journey with your choice of welcome drink. The award-winning dishes will certainly satisfy your in-flight cravings with the courtesy of Turkish DO & CO. The Flying Chef themselves will be at your service cooking in the sky kitchen, presenting you their best in culinary art, with the most exquisite international tastes and authentic Turkish cuisine to savour. It’s quite impressive to see meals being prepared with the freshest ingredients and  with a menu that  is  changed  season to  season.  Of course, meals will be cooked based on what’s available for that flight and whether it’s an international or a transatlantic flight.

If you are opting for a special dietary requirement, they will prepare meals based on your needs.  Their  catering  services ensure  to meet  requirements of  all the  passengers whether it’s for their health, religious or ethical reasons.  The fine-quality dishes and Turkish hospitality is what  makes passengers remain loyal to Turkish Airlines.  Not to forget, the on-going snack services will satisfy your little cravings between the  hours.  For domestic flights, you have  some mouth-watering Turkish meals to try such as  Sis Kebap, Karnıyarık,  Mantı,  and Imam bayıldı.

As for transatlantic flights, you will receive a comprehensive selection of  hors d’oeuvres and a selection of soup which holds a  folkloric significance in Turkish cuisine. While you receive two meals during the long hours, snack services and a comprehensive hot drinks menu will be there throughout the journey for Business Class passengers. You would probably want to order the Turkish coffee and Turkish delights – their specialty.  Get a touch of the traditional Turkish  flavours  and experience  Turkey‘s culinary culture all while you are on-board.

Extra Privileges 

You can take advantage of the privileges  even when you are off-board.  We all cry to ourselves secretly when we  must  wait for the queues  at  the airport. Luckily, as a Business Class passenger, you have the  benefit  of avoiding airport queues by checking in the Business Class counters,  so you  immediately save time for some airport  shopping. One of the biggest nuisances  when going on a trip is having overweight luggage.  Thankfully, with  extra baggage allowance,  you don’t have to worry about paying extra – which is quite rewarding for passengers.

Having a pleasurable in-flight experience is what really makes our flight memorable – and gives  us  more reasons to fly with them again.  Not to forget, as a Business Class passenger you can earn points with  Miles&Smiles  and explore the benefits from Turkish airlines’ frequent flyer program.  Turkish hospitality is something you might want to opt for when taking a flight from/to Istanbul.
