Reminds me of a flight I took with Garuda when they flew the (now discontinued) route from LHR to CGK. Same 773 aircraft and about the same number of people. I had the whole front economy cabin to myself!
Hello, so no visa for Turkmenistan required right? Was there a USB port on the seat? I flew to HCMC with several different airlines from Milan and this would be the cheapest ever. I'm very curious and your video reassured me.
Why would you ask a youtuber for information on visa requirements? These differ greatly depending on your passport and I would always check official sources like embassies for this type of information.

Nice video, you can read about Turkmenistan in my new book. I lived in Ashgabat for three years and used to fly quite often from Ashgabat to domestic and international destination. Raimond Selke
Thank you, that's really good to know. I heard the guards harass passengers in transit for money? Did you experience anything like this? I'll be in the transit zone 11 hours and 30 minutes, so want to be prepared for all possible scenarios.
That's really good to hear. I want to ask one more question. Did you check-in online or just give your passport to the airline staff at the airport? I cannot find anywhere on the airline website for online check-in and can only assume they do it for you when you hand them your passport
I don't think they offer any online check-in. Just regular check-in at the airport ;). They may only give you a boarding pass to ASB and you might have to pick up the boarding pass for the onward flight at the transit desk at ASB.
It’s strange how they have a good , modern IFE system, but load NO entertainment whatsoever, and leaving on he screens, with their bright glare in your face. What would be the point of flying in premium economy or business, then? You can stretch out in economy.
Great review and I appreciate the coverage of this exotic airline! 😃
Its not often that you can find UA-cam reviews onboard Turkmenistan Airlines
Danke
The hostess on Emirates on my flight was from Turkmenistan. She was great.
Fascinating and cheap airline! I hope you are having an awesome Christmas.

13:52 German is complaining that the people are not smiling. This is hilarious.
If I weren't a German, I would smile about it.
Former Cathay Pacific B777??
Perhaps …
Yes, he said so in the beginning, but I can’t blame you couldn’t hear it.
Yeah....
Yes, that is a former Cathay Pacific 77W!
i flew in november to Bangkok from Frankfurt with Turkmenistan airlines; too, great experience and flights, everything was fine
Do you have to make a covid test in ashgabad?
@@doctore06 no
Nice waiting area in green not like everywhere green good flight service❤
Your luggage was checked to vietnam or picked up at ashgabad again? Thanks
I didn't have checked luggage but I imagine you don't need to pick it up at ASB. Would be very impractical otherwise...

He's German so that's relevant for me.

Both flights were almost empty, just like ghost flight... I'm not sure how this airline would survive with flights like this.
Gov funded
flew with them from FRA to PEK via ASB in July and the flights were almost fully booked
There's a lot of cargo. That's the main reason they operate the 777-300. They don't make money on the passengers- but it's about the cargo.
@@AirNZ789well, cargo would subsidise the operation of the flight. If they were not carrying any cargo the flight would surely be operating at a loss.
@daniel-p9z3hwas the IFE operational on your flight ?
I used to check in for their flights in London. It was madness..200 wheelchairs passengers per flight
How much was the price, and where you can buy tickets from Turkmenistan Airlines...?
Around the 7:24 mark.
Really poor audio on your video,can hardly hear/understand you.
Sorry
Pretty bad how the cabin crew are not present most of the flight
Did you need a transit visa for ashgabad?
No.
@@walkingtoairports thanks. now i know it all. ...just see my next post under this video. Gruß aus der Pfalz. (;

1st time saw a GREEN escalator hand rail..wow
Did you have to pay for a COVID test when you arrive? I'm transitting through Ashgabat en route to Kuala Lumpur on Monday
No, there was no COVID test involved.

No harassment at all at ASB. I found them kind of willing to be helpful, actually.

War es verboten, die Stadt Aschgabat zu betreten? 🤔
The North Korea of central Asia..
At least they don't have hypocrite government like in Europe, USA, Australia and Canada.😊
@@josephhidayat4722 read my book: Turkmenistan: The dark windows of Bitarap Turkmenistan, Raimond Selke
why is this airline world's strangest?
It’s a very strange country. 😁
Are you a German?
They didn’t change anything on the seats, haha
the food looked horrible 😂

If you asked Turkmenistan Airways for a Vegetarian option , their Answer would be: " Just don’t eat the meat, then"….😂
The airport is far too big
See you shot this in May, I thinking that this was not Frankfurt in mid-Dec…😜🇩🇪
Du weißt schon dass von Garden City ein Bus zum Terminal fährt, oder?
Singapore, being the Garden city, right.?
Could you please tell us, how much did you pay for your flight?
And also, please let us know where you bought the ticket. Thank you!
I have mentioned all of that in the video 😉.
@walkingtoairports Yes! You are right. I wrote my question before the video was finished.🫣
What agreat review of Turmenistan Arways.Look forward to future reviews.
*TurKmenistan Airways…
Ok… Tut mir echt leid, aber ich musste zur Hälfte abbrechen, da dieses Flüstern sehr anstrengend auf mich wirkt.

Amazing Airlines 🇹🇲
You need to change your report style. You're too monotone!
He's German, what do you expect
Don't no if it's mic or the way he's holding in . But he's difficult to hear
I like the relaxed and soothing tone.
@@Randomequestrian-pm4hl
Yes, so “soothing” i fell asleep 😴
Strange airline, strange youtuber with strange accent ...
Vegetarian but dont pre order. You should prepare for yourself😊
