As a revenue management analyst, Antalya is one of the routes I look after from LGW. Some crazy revenues in the summer holiday period! That and Dalaman are the routes with the most competition haha.
I flew lots of times with SunExpress' 737Max 8 and the usual 737-800's. The seats in this video aren't the usual seats Sunexpress has in it's fleet, they are the ex. Flair Airlines ones, which was the pre-owner of this 737. In the usual config., you won't get a phone holder and a usb power outlet and the seats are thiner on the sunexpress ones. Pegasus Airlines uses the same seats like sunexpress. And an advice from me: try to avoid flying sunexpress if your destination isn't Antalya or Izmir. Pegasus is by far the best option to choose when flying cheap to turkey.
That is true but you cant always find direct flights to turkish airports from europe especially from have less demand for example copenhagen airport. I went copemhagen last week from antalya. I didnt find any flights from dalaman airport which goes direct to the copenhagen, both in tk and pegasus you should transfer from istanbul and that was making it double price in my case. We took a ride to antalya from fethiye, took flight with sunexpress and didnt bother with transfer and halved the ticket price. I dont think we should not expect comfort and other things with low cost carriers. But you are right, pegasus is better.
A nice contrast with the endless coverage of the front-cabins of Qatar, Emirates, Etihad and Singapore. 'Package-holiday' free-transfers can be a great added-value item. Good review.
The aircraft you took is a former Smartwings aircraft equipped with Collins Pinnacle seats, not Meridian. Original SunExpress 737-8 Max aircraft feature Safran Z85 seats while the new ones will be equipped with Z200 seats as you mentioned.
Of course I confused the Collins Economy seats again. I am sorry! Those are the hardest for me, as they look so similar yet so different and often misidentify which is which.
@@simply_aviationNo problem! I just wanted to contribute to your video by sharing my know-how on aircraft seats. I’m aware that the seat models and series are becoming harder to identify nowadays as many of them look similar to each other, but that’s also part of my challenging job.
How cool! Always happy to receive any assistance on this topic. If you ever pass through Vienna, send me an e-mail, would love to take you out for coffee or a beer if you're down! :)
My hometown airport RLG in Northeastern Germany has seen the craziest routes come and go but one thing you can always count on: There will always be an airline that flies to Antalya at least once a week 🏖😄
What airlines do you think is better: Anadolu Jet, Pegasus or SunExpress? I tried only Anadolu on their A321neo and it wasn’t a bad experience. I was positively impressed! The trip report of this airline will be released soon on my channel. Thanks for the new video!
@@Emirfn10Flew with AJET (formerly Anadolu Jet) several times this summer, and I think it was OK-ish given the prices. Certainly, could have been better, but flights to and from Turkey are typically expensive, so it saved me some 300-400 euros in total.
I absolutely hate anadolu jet, my flight got delayed for 3 hours with no reason. As we were getting ready to board, it got delayed for another 30 minutes because there was no gate agent. The seats couldn’t recline on the first flight, but on the return flight it could recline but not that much.. overall this was not worth the money. btw if you were wondering… First flight: 737-800 Return Flight: 737- max 8
Welcome back, Simply Aviation Crew! I hope you can try out Cebu Pacific again thru their Newest A330-900Neo, OR A320-271/A321-271NX with Pratt & Whitney PW1100WG engines! They are mostly designed to replace older ones. They say it sound like a (MINI) 777? Agree or disagree?
Unfortunately, we don't have that planned yet, as Vietnam requires Austrian citizens to apply for a visa, and thus we don't do a lot of flying in and out of Vietnam. :(
Flying October at Halloween 🎃 holidays you agree? Awesome things happening from shopping and celebration by all around the country When it goes warm keep your clothes on as you try to keep at your hotel room for your clothes and weather sunny can be burned XD
Next time I fly to Turkey I'll give SunExpress a chance, last time I flew with them was around 2011. This winter I flew with Southwind Airlines, who use former Air Berlin machines. And thanks for havinf mentioned that Antalya Airport is overpriced. McDonalds there is even more expensive than in Germany...
We have done Air Asia X a long time ago, and it would certainly be time to try them again, but first we want to prioritize flights we haven't yet shown. Just last month I did a video on Cebu Pacific's A330neo which will be out this fall! :)
I flew on them yesterday from Singapore to Frankfurt and had a great flight. They had hot towels and amenity kits( though only on request on day flights) but this is a good video idea
I really missed the Brutally Honest reviews. Great to see you back David. I know many people will think differently to me, but leisure travel is about having a good time and experience. That first begins with the airport experience and then the flight itself. Needless to say I will NOT be flying SunExpress if ever I can help it.
SunExprees is for passengers who do not like the hub and spoke model. I don't want to travel through İstanbul or Frankfurt every time I go to Europe, the UK, or the Middle East.
Pegasus London to Izmir,Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara average £70 one way..Sunexpress or shitty A Jet can't beat that. Pegasus also operates with new A320neo A321neo Aircrafts unlike Sunexpress 737s mostly inherited from THY and Lufhtansa..
@@simply_aviation This is a political statment, just 10 years ago Turkey was included in European listings on almost every platform, now there's an effort to push it to the Middle East, which is a US project by the way, we don't consider ourselves Middle Eastern just because we border to it and some people define it so politically or on Wikipedia. Geography cannot change according to different policies at different times.
@@simply_aviation ME is a political term while Eurasia is a continent. You can say Turkey is in ME tho, but it would be a political statement so some people refuse it. While nobody can refuse Eurasia, Europe or Asia.
Yes, Turkey does consider itself part of the Middle East. Here is a quote from the website of the Turkish foreign ministry: "As one of the major components of the Middle East region, Türkiye associates the stability, security and wellbeing of the Arab countries directly with its own." www.mfa.gov.tr/turkiye_s-relations-with-the-arab-countries.en.mfa
@@simply_aviation Ofc current regime with right wing Islamist policies considers Turkey as a part of ME. But if you ask Turkish people especially middle or left wing they would refuse it. We might be Muslims as well but culturally we are quite different than ME. For example all Turkic countries are secular not only Turkey as secularism comes from our Turkic origins. While there aren't many secular countries in ME, especially similar to Turkey's secularism level.
Pegasus is a miles better Airline than Sunexpress any given day. I took 15 flights last year alone with Pegasus not only to Turkey but I used to fly to Tel Aviv via Istanbul before the war kicked off at silly prices. Pegasus fly literally everywhere nowadays yet Sunexpress is mainly to Germany,UK,Austria..

So is Antalya to Europe what Cancun is to North America, in terms of the number of tourists and all-inclusive resorts?
Yes it literally is :)
Bro finally remembered his UA-cam password 💀
It’s not been that long since he last uploaded.

unfunny joke
He’s busy so this is why
I think they did announce at some point that they were taking a month off to record new trips entirely? not sure if it was this august.
0:45 the cabin Looks nice and comfy 😌 i would definitely start my vacation in that airplane cabin
Really looking How David flying Garuda to AMS, as Indonesian they need to improve and replace the 26 y/o A330
It’s so nice to see this new incredible “Brutally Honest” episode after a month-long break 😀👍✈️

Finally! Another Simply Aviation Video! Hope to see more to come this month!
Newcastle Airport is not as small and underserved as you say, given Jet2 and Tui fly multiple times a week
They have really good last minute pricing. I have a flight Viena antalia for 50 euro with checked bag and seat selection.

Glad to see you back, great video David!😸
YOOO BRO CAME TO MY CITY!!! (Antalya) W FAN FROM HERE DUDE. Sunexpress is one of the best imo so much better than pegasus. Fan from antalya mate.
When will the Garuda Indonesia Boeing 777 from Jakarta to Amsterdam brutally honest be out? Looking for it 👀
It's been a while my man, but I always tune in for your videos
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
Great review David and nice to see you uploading again!
Vienna is a truly beautiful city, visited there in winter and really like to go there again😊
I flew LTAI-EDDH on the SXS B73H TC-SPM and it honestly was a very nice flight experience! Definitely would recommend it. Nice crew, seats and flight
Finally Simply Aviation is back!
Finally you guys are back 🎉🎉🎉
sun express probably one of my favourite airlines happy to see you made a trip report on this
3:03 those are actually the older Pinnacle seats, which are more common on NGs and less common on MAX planes

Welcome back David.. Another stellar review as always! 😎✈️🇨🇦
You are finally back!
He came back when we need him the most
Great flight, and welcome back.
You should have pre ordered their Meze Plate, its delicious!
I flew with sunexpress from London to Antalya and honestly, I’d give it an 8/10. P.S I flew on the 737-800 which looked older than the MAX 8 to me
I freaking loved this video A LOLT. Very different to standard airline reviews .
Hope to see your next video in Manila, Philippines 😊
I love new videos. Love these new airlines.
Nice flight simply aviation

Thank you for another beautiful review ❤️🛬
Finally a video after almost 2 months
Great Start to the weekend with simply aviation dropped a video
Whats 800€ per week all inclusive resort stay??? Someone explain am i missing some affordable trip???😭
Turkey was £1000 for a whole family with one child in Marmaris all inclusive resort even in July

Finally another one❤
you should retry sq on a long haul in economy since they're returning elements of their pre pandemic service like hot towels and amenity kits
I flew on them yesterday from Singapore to Frankfurt and had a great flight. They had hot towels and amenity kits( though only on request on day flights) but this is a good video idea
I flew on sun express it’s not bad at all but hate they have no seat back pocket
Edit: 1:11 that resort looks so familiar is it from the stone group
Unfortunately, many low cost airlines prefer not to have seat pockets for a quicker turnaround by having less areas for security search and cleaning.
I stuck at this airport once for 6 hours due to a weather, never spent as much as there in coffee and water bottle
I really missed the Brutally Honest reviews. Great to see you back David. I know many people will think differently to me, but leisure travel is about having a good time and experience. That first begins with the airport experience and then the flight itself. Needless to say I will NOT be flying SunExpress if ever I can help it.
Does everyone knows which editor does Simply Aviation uses?
Thank you! ✈️
I cut my videos with Adobe Premiere Pro and do the mapping graphics with Adobe After Effects. :)
I misread Antalya to Atlanta and I was like "a 737 will go from Atlanta to Vienna?!"
yeah!
where is 8:53 and 10:11 ?
I'm begging you guys to do a brutally honest video on aer lingus or Alaska
SunExprees is for passengers who do not like the hub and spoke model. I don't want to travel through İstanbul or Frankfurt every time I go to Europe, the UK, or the Middle East.
