Sacrificing customer service to avoid layoffs and save jobs is a commendable move by the chairman. But premium customers will just start flying economy because why would you pay a business class fare for economy service.
Agree! I flew CKG - IST - IAD back in Dec and service couldn’t be more disappointing. Cold sandwiches and mezze - pretty much the same kind for the entire sectors. No coffee/ tea service in Y class, no shower facility at TK Lounge Istanbul..they basically cancel everything out in the name of Covid.
Thats something Air Canada did. They dont care about anyones jobs at the bottom all they care about is saving money. How do they save money? Laying off almost everyone. Turkish has class sacrificing certain things in order for their staff to keep their jobs
The camera at cabin its amazing plus a good idea for security. A black box storing the recording video and audio at cabin will give a new vision for investigations at every accident
Another fantastic video. Thank you. Great quality and great story telling. Shoutout to the professional crew of Turkish airlines. The camera view of the cockpit is always a gamechanger. By the was Sam, I would love to see you flying air Greenland once, and take me with you, I want to fly it so badly.
Turkish Airlines is really amazing. Not only coz they got a great air planes but also their young and very energetic crew are also make ur flight very positive. of course pandemic has hit every single of things and changed whole life that includes the way we used to fly as well.
TURKISH AIRLINES IS BIG SCAM! I had error in my name on ticket. They asked all document to correct name. after sending all proving documents they made me to buy another ticket, promising me to refund first ticket. After while they send me refund confirmation number, but refund never happened. I contacted them with their terrible feedback customer support system. They asked me to visit their headquarter office which is always closed and may not even exist. and i am still waiting for my refund, and i read comments, which i am not only one the victim of their scam!

Dear Sam, I’ve just boarded a TK flight from Amsterdam to Istanbul in business and I thought of your video re TK airlines. It’s always a delight boarding a Turkish Airlines flight. As soon as I was settled in my seat I was handed a menu card by a lovely staff member. A Turkish Mezze as a starter, selection of three main courses and a selection of cheeses or a dessert. I must say I can’t wait to dig into the Turkish style meatballs and vegetable casserole. Things have changed since my last in December and I’m pleased with that 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Your videos do not make us feel that we are under lockdown and we feel that we are also travelling from one country to another with the help of your videos. Thank you for giving us such a feeling and entertaining us during the pandemic. May god bless you.

@@me-ul3xm other airlines give hot meals, it’s clearly just cost cutting measures but at least be honest with it, they don’t need to say it’s for safety because then they wouldn’t give you any food
I get very good vibes from the chairman. Open minded and running the business in an agile manner. That’s a leader that is passionate and can rally up people to support his vision. I’ve only experienced Turkish airlines once in 2019 flying on a brand new A321 Neo to IST and returning on a new A330 Neo and all I can say is fantastic aircraft, service and delicious food, even in Economy! I’d love to fly with them again.
If the food in business class has changed, is there a difference in price for the ticket? Part of business class is the expectation of better meals and personalized service. A boxed meal does not cut it.
Good news: Turkish returned full meal service in business! Tested on 08/03/21 on led-ist; ist-dxb flights. There was a choice of 2-3 hot meal options, traditional cutlery and glassware. The purser told that in a few weeks they would return meal service in economy as well
I flew international flight using Turkish Airlines. It was very sad. Exactly like Sam's experienced. In busuness class, there us no pillow, only 1 thin blanket, no duvet, no hot meal, nor hot beverages either. 2 legs international flights, I'd got the sane meal, cold unsatisfied sandwich. Turkush Airlines was my favorit airlines, before. Now, I will rethink to fly TK.
I travel back and forth to work with Turkish (no business though) and I have to say I like them very much. Mostly new planes, nice crew, pretty decent food and so on :)
One of the best airlines. I do not mind the lowering cost and the food options. Happy that they care for the hygiene so much. Love Turkish Airlines ❤️ great video
At this point I’m just happy to get on something with wings and go somewhere that’s not here. The lack of service sucks on many airlines but, for now, I get it. I don’t mind going no frills on a legacy carrier if the price reflects the same as the ULCC
Great to know that you are back on the aircraft again. Flying to everywhere with such communicative crew members are really enjoyable. You deserved to be get like on your channel.
Turkish airlines has lost millione dollars during the pandemic like other airlines. They must cut a few services because of costs, it is normal but after finish pandemic they will return the services.
Turkish Airlines is really bad with customer services. Stuff is uneducated, not capable of speaking decent English and rude if there is a problem and if you insist on solution. Customer service is done through "Feedback" procedure which is basically email reply that can take 48 hours while you are stuck at the airport. So, practically Turkish airline can not produce any solution through phone calls. So, disgusting. If anything goes wrong at your flight, you simply pay for it. Character and quality of Turkish Airlines company is disgusting.
Sam i want to say something . You never hurt anyone , always see the positive side, never hit below the belt to any airlines even though the experience is not that good. Always give respect to everyone . I love you . I am from India and I am a diehard fan of yours . Please visit India again and if possible Kolkata.
👍🏼really great video .. Turkish airlines did an amazingly good job to survive without help in the pandemic.. I’m impressed. And I’m looking forward to fly with them someday soon hopefully 🙏.
Thanks for another very enjoyable video Sam. I was impressed by the Chairman of Turkish Airlines. So many corporations these days have the opposite view to him & just see their staff as a throwaway commodity. One thing I have noticed is that you very rarely criticise any airline these days. Trust me some do deserve it!
I really enjoy the way you do your videos. Always respectful and pleasant. With all of the stress and hateful things going on in the media, it is nice to be able to relax and just watch a great informational video. Thank You!
Turkish Airlines are adapting to the changes in external factor rapidly. Most importantly they are committed to saving the environment & maintain the overall hygiene of their operations 👍
they dont care about public safety, they just see this pandemic as an excuse to cheap out and make more money by giving people a lesser product at the same price. pure greed. i bet their profits are higher than ever.
Really? I just tried to show both side of the story instead of making a judgement call. Let viewer see what the airline is doing and management respond to it as well.
Another great vid Sam. Turkish Airlines has the right idea with switching to freight more. What with everyone being stuck indoors, online purchasing has gone manic. There are only so many freight shipping services and they're going to be swamped.
Hot meal service started last week - was a big surprise! 🥳 I had a business flight from Istanbul to Stockholm on Feb 28th, and the food was great again. I think your question made them realise their mistake, and they changed it earlier than they told, Sam. In Turkey, decisions can be made all of a sudden, and it's usual 😅 By the way, this was not valid for our domestic connection flight. They didn't give serve a sandwich, which they used to during pandemic. It was only a glass of water they gave + they had converted economy seats to business, which I didn't love.

New subscriber.........I love your videos.......as soon as this lockdown is over I'm leaving the NC to Brisbane to be with the ABSOLUTE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! Been waiting a long time........
I flew with TK on their IST-BOS-IST flights past December and January and the in flight service was a disaster. Although I try to understand measures taken were due to pandemic; on such a long flight (10 hours almost) they served a small box (sandwich, cake, juice, water) for main meal and the paper bag seen in your video for the second service. And both service were almost had same contents. If an announcement was made at check-in or at their web site about bringing our own food, it would be understandable.
Passengers not wearing their masks or wearing them incorrectly is so annoying for crew members and also other passengers. Thank you for filming your flight experience!
The food was really awful during covid. Even in 14 hours flight, they only serve food twice, its the same box every time. You only get a frozen cold cheese sandwich and a 1$ dry cake. Couldn't believe you can actually get served food like this on long haul international flight.
I was 13 and I was traveling with my mom trans Atlantic. The food was so bad it gave my mom terrible sickness on board. After that, I swore I would never set foot on a Turkish airlines flight ever again.
Turkish’s economy is real good especially on their A330’s. AFAIK, they have the most 330 than any other airlines and their 2-4-2 layout make you feel like in premium economy rather than just plain economy.
I flew Turkish airlines 6 months ago in the pandemic and they barely served food on a long haul 12 hour flight and the crew was fine but they only served 2 meals which were meehhhh and I asked for something and i didn’t even get it in fact she just gave me a pen and just went away I was disappointed.......
Once again thanks Sam! Good to hear that they are bringing back their hot meals! I wanted to book a trip from NYC to Lahore, PK with them but was looking elsewhere because my kids would wound up starving on this economy meal.
Your guidance around the flights world is valuable as always, hope I would be able to meet and thank you personally, when I would arrive in Heathrow Airport in April!
Sacrificing customer service to avoid layoffs and save jobs is a commendable move by the chairman. But premium customers will just start flying economy because why would you pay a business class fare for economy service.

Things have changed since the video. Last month I had economy flight with them and the breakfast menu was served with it's good old fullness.
This is good capturing Sam.
I flew with TK on their IST-BOS-IST flights past December and January and the in flight service was a disaster. Although I try to understand measures taken were due to pandemic; on such a long flight (10 hours almost) they served a small box (sandwich, cake, juice, water) for main meal and the paper bag seen in your video for the second service. And both service were almost had same contents.
If an announcement was made at check-in or at their web site about bringing our own food, it would be understandable.
Flight attendant: Something to eat, sir?
Passenger: What are the options?
Flight attendant: Yes or No.
They are so rude
hello sam as always great videos regards from panama, I like your sweater
Flight attendants when they see this guy: ah fuck it’s him again
Most annoying passenger ever lol
@@sym98m for real. Acting like he owns the company😂
Its like a food critic 😂
Thankyou, I really enjoyed this. You’re very lucky to have access to all aviation areas. X
I always admire how he and James Asquith can access the cockpits
keep it up sam! great vid
Great video Sam as per the usual! 🤘🇺🇸 Love the 777! 😏 Especially of Turkish Airlines! 🇹🇷
I love the atmosphere ,
where it's sunny outside and you can fly !
Passengers not wearing their masks or wearing them incorrectly is so annoying for crew members and also other passengers. Thank you for filming your flight experience!
Hot meal services has started for long haul flights in business class and economy class which is over 8 hours flight ....
You mean from Turkish air ?
@@avsharon91able yep
and started for economy for over 8 hours flights
Love 🇹🇷
That's good to hear. Seems my flight just missed out....
Greetings Sam. So happy you are traveling. Also glad you are working. Safe travels and good health to you all.
The food was really awful during covid. Even in 14 hours flight, they only serve food twice, its the same box every time. You only get a frozen cold cheese sandwich and a 1$ dry cake. Couldn't believe you can actually get served food like this on long haul international flight.
I was 13 and I was traveling with my mom trans Atlantic. The food was so bad it gave my mom terrible sickness on board. After that, I swore I would never set foot on a Turkish airlines flight ever again.

The camera position of driver room was so good. I can watch all details during the flying time.
I would be really pixxed off if I would get this kind of meal in business and on top getting told that you can always bring your own food.
Turkish’s economy is real good especially on their A330’s. AFAIK, they have the most 330 than any other airlines and their 2-4-2 layout make you feel like in premium economy rather than just plain economy.
The Economy meal is just a smaller sandwich than Business.
Hi
yeah its just a small bag with a cheap drink, muffin and sandwich
Outrageous

Can I ask, do you pay for meals on the flight or does it come with the flight?
So happy to see you flying again 👍🏽
I flew Turkish airlines 6 months ago in the pandemic and they barely served food on a long haul 12 hour flight and the crew was fine but they only served 2 meals which were meehhhh and I asked for something and i didn’t even get it in fact she just gave me a pen and just went away I was disappointed.......
Once again thanks Sam! Good to hear that they are bringing back their hot meals! I wanted to book a trip from NYC to Lahore, PK with them but was looking elsewhere because my kids would wound up starving on this economy meal.
Great flight! Are passengers who are just transiting through Istanbul Airport (Turkey) required to have a negative COVID PCR test?
No. Transit passengers(as long as they don't enter Turkey and remain at the transit area) doesn't need a PCR test.
Your guidance around the flights world is valuable as always, hope I would be able to meet and thank you personally, when I would arrive in Heathrow Airport in April!
