The center row 1 seats have the crew rest overhead so they lack luggage bins. However you have to think that each luggage bin on the plane would normally be for three or more economy seats of carry on items, so there should be plenty of space to stow your carry ons. Most business class seats lack storage for bags so they will need to be stowed during taxi, takeoff, and landing. During the flight, especially with row one and the larger footwells, you could bring a reasonably sized bag in the seat with you and put it below or in the footwell, to access laptops and things of that nature. I wouldn't overly worry about bothering people by accessing your bags in the overheads though, everyone is in the same circumstance there so it is just part of taking the flight. Enjoy your trip!
Thank you for your review of Turkish Airlines business class flight and the new Istanbul airport lounge😊. The Istanbul lounge is one of the most wonderful lounges in the world, so we want to use it someday🎵. We also meke airplane review videos, so I am happy to be friends. Subscribed to your channel. 😄
I really appreciate your comment and thank you for the subscription. I will definitely check our your channel! I see you reviewed the Flying Honu. That is high on my list, haven't done any flying to/in Asia yet.
@@GilbertTravels Thank you for your reply and subscription 😊Your flight review in Europe and North America are very interesting because they are rare for me. I want to watch your videos regularly in the future🎶😄
I do hope so, I really put a lot of effort into this and going to live voicing was a big change. Don't know if I can do it all the time every time, but it was fun giving thoughts in the moment on this one! Thanks
Nice 1A "upgrade!!!!" Certainly looks like a sleeker Singapore J seat. Impressed. Do they have a walk-up, J class self-serve bar? #autolike Another great review.
No self serve bar or snack area. That was a disappointment for a daytime flight if you got a hankering for a snack. On other routes on this aircraft a dedicated snack menu was handed out for anytime on demand dining. Not sure why we did not get that on our flight.
@@GilbertTravels On my IST-SFO flight there was definitely one, even though on the smaller side - it could be easy to miss if you were not paying close attention when walking around the flight.
@@aliasgharkhoyee8911 Ok so The Points Guy published their review and there is a photo of a (small) snack area on the 787, so I just totally missed it somehow!
Turkish is impressive. When there is a trolley I always say I'll try one of everything. Years ago when I said this they never said no. I really love seeing airline food. Also you can always ask to have the beef cooked rare or medium rare. Tell them to cook it for no more than 15 minutes. I hate well done meat. I wished I had filmed some of my amazing flights back in the day.
I will definitely fly Turkish again! Next time I will make sure to go more hungry, came off way too much heavy food in Austria (which was delicious) into this flight.
I did not go back to economy on this flight. I would fly Turkish economy though, they look to provide a nice service and pride themselves on not offering a premium economy because of their economy class’ quality. They do have some great classy uniforms, yes.
In the near future, Emirates will likely remove all A380s. Terrible regrets, all companies using the A380. Emirates has ordered A350 and 787 dreamliners and is already using some of them. If i don't know wrong.
Great question, I used Aeroplan, which is 55,000 mi one way to Europe, or 110,000 round trip. At the time I made my booking I was allowed a stopover and an open jaw on a single itinerary at that cost (MIA-OSL-AMS-VIE-IST-ATL), but the program rules have changed since then to not be as generous. So 220,000 was the total for two tickets.
Ok thanks. I was getting ready to book ATL-ADD; ADD-ENT; NBO-ATL on Turkish through United. 160,000 round trip in business. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything before transferring UR points over to United.
@@JustPracticalAdvice Gotcha, UR doesn't transfer to Aeroplan anyway, so United is your way to go. United allows a stopover on a round trip booking as well (search "United Excursionist" for more info), so consider taking advantage of an extra leg/destination on your redemption at no additional cost! Enjoy the trip!
All the foot wells are just as deep, but the front row is about twice as wide. I showed it for about one second what the regular seat looked like, tighter, but I think very workable.
Ohh yes, I flew Delta quite a bit the latter half of 2019 and that involved a lot of connecting through ATL as well. I even commented in my A321 review of Delta that all of their flights do eventually lead to Atlanta.
More smile and less subscribing reminder. And please never ever compare any single thing between any U.S. airline with any European or Asian airline. Cause U.S. airlines have a long way to learn for example about lounges and catering at least!
Thanks for your feedback. The average viewer for a flight review is only watching 25-30% of the video, so having one call for subscribers at the end isn’t really effective. Like it or not, having subscribers is what UA-cam wants to see to let a channel grow, so I only ask because it really is helpful for me if people subscribe. Certainly don’t want it to be annoying and I appreciate you watched enough of the video to see more than one request since I always edit my videos to be watched all the way through!
That lounge is crazy. Thanks for the video. Your editing is amazing! You do a really great job with your reports and videos. Thanks so much!
I spent a lot of time on this one, which the flight deserved! Glad you enjoyed.
Very professional filming technique making watching your video a more pleasurable experience..
Thank YOU for sharing. Very nice video
Greetings from Istanbul, wishing you successful business on your channel.
Thanks!
Wow 😰😰😰 👌👌👌👌👌👍

Really nice detailed review man. Well done. This is the first time I’ve seen those new seats in business too.
Thanks for your comment and so glad you enjoyed and found it informative!
Nice Video
Thank you!
I just booked the business class atlanta to manila yahoo.. so excited to see the instabul lounge.. this video help thanks you for sharing
Have a great trip!
Very proud of boing
Very nice review! Thanks for detailed coverage of the seat feature and the lounge as well!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting!
The United airlines 757-200 flight was great for a domestic to Florida and the snack was pretty good. It was the salad!
Glad to hear it worked out, thanks for the update!
My husband and I just booked the same seats. Our concern is where did you store your carry on items without bothering others. We want them accessible.

Great video, welcome to Miami
Thanks for the kind comment. MIA is my primary airport, so most of my adventures start and end there!
Turkish airlines the best
My two flights with them this trip were excellent.
Excellent!
I do hope so, I really put a lot of effort into this and going to live voicing was a big change. Don't know if I can do it all the time every time, but it was fun giving thoughts in the moment on this one! Thanks
👍🤩
Miss the food on TK. Hope they bring the chef back at some point
Yea, hopefully with BA bringing back service TK will follow suit!
Absolutely stunning trip report. All the things on this flight are nearly to perfection, from the airport to the cabin, and the inflight services 😍
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! It was a great experience.

A smile on your face at times, would be good to see :)
OK, I will work on that, thanks for the comment!
Did you get a sense of TK's economy cabin/ service? Also I love their new uniforms. I get a sense by reputation they're good all around

Dreamliner is becoming, famous these days I bet Emirates airline would order it 🇦🇪
Emirates has some Dreamliners on order actually! Thanks
@@GilbertTravels I didn't know that but thanks for letting me know man.

What miles did you use? You said 220,000 but was it a direct booking or on a partner?
Great question, I used Aeroplan, which is 55,000 mi one way to Europe, or 110,000 round trip. At the time I made my booking I was allowed a stopover and an open jaw on a single itinerary at that cost (MIA-OSL-AMS-VIE-IST-ATL), but the program rules have changed since then to not be as generous.

Yes it doesn’t transfer and I don’t have any MRs. I’m using excursionist perk for the intra flight from ADD-ENT. Thanks.
Actually looks like a really good seat, Billy! You say front row, do all seats have as much legroom as that one?
All the foot wells are just as deep, but the front row is about twice as wide. I showed it for about one second what the regular seat looked like, tighter, but I think very workable.
her zaman olduğu gibi: Türk Hava Yolları'nda kusursuz hizmet (business class)
Thanks for your comment, I ran it through a translator, I did experience excellent service on Turkish.
@@GilbertTravels well, I did it to honor Turkish airlines/language, kind regards
When you arrive at Atlanta, expect a LOT of Delta aircraft
Ohh yes, I flew Delta quite a bit the latter half of 2019 and that involved a lot of connecting through ATL as well. I even commented in my A321 review of Delta that all of their flights do eventually lead to Atlanta.
