G’day, my name is Jayden, welcome back to my channel! In February 2024, I flew Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-300ER in business class from Istanbul to Kuala Lumpur. As it was a free upgrade from economy, I wasn’t given access to the Turkish Airlines Business Class Lounge. However, I used my Turkish Airlines Elite (Star Alliance Gold) status for access to the Miles&Smiles Lounge. Enjoy the video & thank you so much for watching!

There is no other aviation vlogger who is as thorough, concise, entertaining, equitable and impartial as you. I love how you got the free upgrade (even though you earned it imho) and were so excited. I loved the chill lounge scene too. Turkish Airlines does have amazing "soft" amenities, as you so cleverly said. If / when they upgrade their cabins they will be very competitive. Those caves look amazing! I have not heard about them before. Thanks for making that climb to share with us. So nice to see an external camera on an older 777.
Aww thanks!! 6’4 hated me for going to the cave right after a long haul flight🤣🤣
Great video, Jayden! The lounge looked amazing. Also, the service on the flight seemed pretty incredible. I'm happy you and 6'4" were able to snag the free upgrades. If Turkish updated their hard product, I think they could be really competitive. I hate it when airplanes don't have the personal air noodles and get too warm. It can be really uncomfortable. The caves in KL looked really amazing. I'm impressed you were able to climb all those stairs after a long haul flight without good sleep!
Great job this week on Thursday and also I have been to Kuala Lumpur last year in June I noticed a lot of the buildings in your video!! Can’t wait for your video next Thursday!
thanks Oscar!
I LOVE YOUR NORDVPN SKIT 😂😂❤❤
🤣🤣
It was cute!
Yes. The rage was genuine and understandable. Good job! (But sad you had the experience you did!)
So happy to be watching you and 6’4”!! I have come to love your videos, which a re e very thorough and highly entertaining. So nice that you got upgraded. Your sightseeing experience was wonderful. Good thing you are young! Thank you for showing me the world!
✈️Fly and stay safe. Thanks for this vlog. Have an amazing week. Cheers.
thanks Lawrence!
Thank you for your detailed report.
thanks Eddie!
Hi Jayden THANK you for the video how lucky was you getting upgrade for free. Meals on plane presented well. HOPE you both ENJOY your trip
Another brilliant trip report 👍
Always a great video. Thank you !!
thanks Mark!
Congrats on the free upgrade Jayden
thanks!
Very nice for upgrade 🎉
Turkish has one of the VERY BEST onboard food ever. Incredible quality for plane food. Only Etihad & Qatar Airways get close.
I agree.👍
Lucky You 2.I Love The Cuisine Aboard.Great Video And Info
Thanks, Jayden! A good one😊😊👏👏❤❤
TK lounge has very good food. I remember their lounge at the old airport has a table with a very wide selection of olives. They didn’t have this at the new airport.
One thing that I think this airport should consider is to reinstate Fast Track for passengers on all star alliance flights. Not sure when they only limit to TK passengers, but when I passed through IST in 2023, the Fast Track was still available for other airlines.
Hi Jayden. A Chef on board. What a luxurious experience. Glad Mr. 6’4 enjoyed this excellent flight. Great video again. Cozy with the fake (thank god) candle lights.
Turkish Airlines, this is class sounds very interesting to fly on
I love it that you featured Turkish Air!!! Recommended by my smart TV at random. TBH I was just checking out Turkish Air app booking rates for my birthday flight to Istanbul and maybe Marrakech a few hours ago on a quiet Sunday at home. 😍😍😍
ahaha algorithm doing me good this time🤣 Thanks for watching!
Jayden you are the G.O.A.T 🐐 ❤️
Great video,
Keep them coming. Great move on the business deal
PS
Do they have eGates in the IST airport?
Cheers
Only for Turkish citizens.
thanks for watching!
Lounge food looked really good and interesting. I remember that staircase in KL. I found coming down worse than going up 😅
YES!! The steps were too tiny, 6'4 and I found it really hard getting down, I got down side ways 🤣
Great video! It's amazing that you got a free upgrade! How many times have you got a free upgrade?
in my memory, twice. Also a few times to premium economy but economy class service, and on Cathay first class but business service (HKGSYD)
First time was Qantas QF117 Sydney to Hong Kong. From economy to business. And this time from Istanbul to KL also economy to business :) So lucky that both times were long haul flights.
Yeah I enjoyed watching the first class “upgrade” on Cathay and I didn’t know that you could get that upgrade
Wonderful ! 🌟
Lots of love
Take care 👍
thanks for watching!! :)
You guys were in KL and didn't tell me 😲?! just kidding, I hope you enjoyed yourselves.😂
ahaha thanks! I was there again a few days ago, from Tioman Island, on the way to Bangalore where I am now
Brilliant
Another great trip report. I've always heard good things about Turkish airlines business class service more importantly the presentation, and always nice to get a free upgrade. 6'4" fish looked rather dry. Weren't you excited about two coat hooooks on board! KL looked amazing as usual!
Hi James! Definitely can't wait for their new 777 business. I'm sure it'll be revolutionary. Too excited to care about the coat hooks 🤣
now that you mention they keep warm the cabin, happen to me also and make me feels suffocate. We don't know the reason they do it but I agree with you they have good soft product while they hard product so-so :)
Superb Flight ✈️ 👌 Vlog ❤❤
Thanks a ton！
nice video love the music
Glad you like it!
Nice thumbnail of the chef, providing your meal.
Flying with Turkish in Business later this year - can't wait!!
you'll like it!
Great flight report as usual mate! Not a fan of the 3 seats in the middle in 2-3-2 business configurations when some premium economy is just 1 seat more at 2-4-2... but all good when free upgrade!!!
Jayden, just wanted to ask you, is your friend 6 ft 4 also paying the trip by himself? You are doing all of the vlogs, but it seems he has done nothing, just tagging along. So, what does he actual do when you are traveling?
Hi Henry! He does pay for his own flights. I will actually host a live Q&A in the next few days. Feel free to join and ask again :) I will share the details on insta/youtube community soon
Thanks for a great trip report, Jayden. ❤ You keep adding, deleting and refining the reports so well.
KL is so beautiful and mysterious to me. The grand geology and monkeys 🙉 too.
thanks Stevo! Appreciate your nice comment as always!!
Always.
Those adorable monkeys!! 🐒 And I agree with schnape 1 your Nord VPN skit was freaking hilarious! Safe travels Jayden❤️✈️
haha thanks Diane! I miss the cats in Istanbul more🤣
Hello Jayden love the trip report, very happy to see you enjoying a free upgrade to buisness class, love the reaction 'for free!!!'🙃 Turkish's service is fantastic, I remember they handed out free toy kits on board to me when I took the Shanghai-Istanbul route back then. Again thanks for the trip report and can't wait for the next one, safe travels! 😄
Hi Kenny! Thanks for watching! The kits in economy was quite good too I remember. Didn't really like the business one but the content is 👌🏻
Hey Jayden, your dinner was at Lot 10 Bukit Bintang 🙂
ahh yes spot on!!
JAYDEN!!!!!!! I’m so happy you are in Malaysia I would love tooo meet you I’ve been watching you for a long time, how long r u in Malaysia
Happy Chinese New Year! 6:00 哈哈看起来是二月份的航班
haha yes 二月尾
Wow that's awesome the upgrade from Economy to Business was completely free! 👏
Yes it was! :))
1st time i heard Jaydens high pitch "its free"...love it!! More high pitch moments pleasee
🤣
Very interesting vlog Jayden
Some great airport imformation and the highlight the Business Class upgrade
Turkish really seems to be pushing ahead with those little extras other airlines ie Qantas do not care about
Turkish now fly from Melbourne via Singapore to a gateway of destinations so this has helped to make an important decision weather to use TK to Poland
I would love to try Turkish on Singapore-Melbourne soon. Definitely better than Qantas A330 and Emirates 777 hahaha
Another great video, seeing the world, from my armchair ❤
Thanks for joining 6'4 and I, John!
Great trip report Jayden, I’ll have to give Turkish J class a try. Why was the Hilton so cheap in KUL?
My theory
1. Malaysia is not an expensive country
2. That particular hotel wasn’t in the best spot in the city hence cheaper than other Hilton properties nearby. Also limited amenities in that hotel
3. Competition, compared to other South/South East Asian countries, KL has lots of hotels so they have to keep prices relatively low
4. Low accommodation tax compared to Singapore and the US.
I’m in India now, the Hilton properties here are insanely cheap compared to other countries too but not as cheap as the one in KL, the one I’m in now does however have a nice pool overlooking Mandovi River in Goa. The pool is like an attraction by itself :)
Done Turkish on Economy would love to try business in Turkish
We want Jayden's vlog on Istanbul tour. ❤
got one here! Helsinki to IST: ua-cam.com/video/m6JPQQDJ2RY/v-deo.htmlsi=IdM0q0aAYRMPfYbt
0:51, That's the case for me in terminal 3 in Manila when I flew out last August, they check your passport and boarding pass and yeah it's annoying. I don't know why they have to do that, before entering and checking in the counter.
It's great you got the upgrades - but the agent did the right thig - you asked to pay.. or at least how much it might be, so you weren't just hoping for the freebie - that's all the dufference!
Pity about that pretty old dire J config though - but no doubt that extra capacity helped you sit there - and you were next to your partner still whuch is great.
I enjoyed this report.
Another great trip report! Super lucky to get the upgrade to business. Don't get me started on the monkeys at the Batu caves 😡.
I love Kuala Lumpur ❤
Love the salt and pepper shakers… wonder how many get stolen 😢
Can you make a video in future talking about how much you think it is worth to pay for an upgrade at the airport for various flights?
I have been up-graded to Business Class a few times - just by turning up at the desk. You and I must look the type of person who should never be in "cattle class". 🤣
Hahaha I know right! Not even dressed up for it, just looked like we belong in business. It’s the good vibe we’re giving🤣🤣
for free!! so cute😜
I paid CAD$10.000 fpr two business class tickets from Vancouver to Istanbal. The service was extremely poor and the crew members were unfriendly.
How does 6'4"get so much time off uni to travel?
Great trip report as usual❤
He just finished! Travelling now til he relocates and starts work in August
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Saw the Batu Caves after there must have been a celebration the night before (we didnt know this was going to happen). The place had rubbish everywhere and the monkeys were scary. Very disappointed.
damn sorry to hear, give it another go when you can!
So when will you try ANA A380, Singapore Airlines A380 and ANA 787-10 aswell as Fiji airways
Great video! But hope that TK is going to refurbish their 777 since they are a bit outdated.
they will soon! same as ek :)
Hope I could get one of those upgrades lol. Never had the chance to fly business class😊
hopefully one day you end up on a overbooked flight and they bumped you to the front. Pro tip: have a frequent flyer account with them. Even base members can get upgraded! Happens a lot on Cathay :)
@@JaydenWongthanks for the tip ❤❤❤
That was good as usual :-) ❤❤ TK has this clever idea of having in-flight chefs, i don’t know which airline offers this kind of service. I hope they would come up to the idea of reconfiguring their business class to 1-2-1 set up. More videos Jayden and 6‘4. :-) ❤❤❤
I heard that TK and EK will soon refurbish their 777 in favour of the 1-2-1 layout :)
Thanks for watching!!!
@@JaydenWong wow thats good news :-) I tried the biz class with EK on their A380 and its far better than those on the B77Ws.
Another excellent report and vlog. Turkish Airlines looks good, especially the chefs. How nice that you and 6'4 got free Business upgrades. 😃 ... Jayden, I can't wait to see a trip report and vlog from North Korea! 🤣
ahahah you want me dead? 🤣
@@JaydenWong Absolutely not! 🤣
Hi Jayden, here is a recommendation. Try flying Emirates A380 first class. Trust me it's good!
Another great review! I'm flying this aircraft from Singapore in July, but travelling solo. How easy is it to step over your neighbour if they're sleeping? I want to book a window seat for views, but don't like the idea of waking someone every time I go to the toilet or stretch my legs.
It honestly was quite easy. It's a big open space so literally just a big step. It's more difficult on Fiji A330 because the rows are closer to each other.
Selamat datang ke Malaysia!
thanks for the warm welcome!! I just went again last week :)
Very nice
Thanks :)
Nice❤❤
Good Morning from Germany 🇩🇪. Perfect start into the Day. Sun is shining, now ☕️ and watch ur Video 👍👍👏👏. See You!!! And btw::: ur haircut looks cool😉🕶️
Thanks for watching and greetings from Bangalore 🇮🇳 Not too far from Germany haha. Take care!
WOW our SOUTH Indian Tamil Temple lovely... LORD Murugan.. Tamil God..
nice flight mate... Hope you remember me.. Aussie who lived in Melbourne 2007 to 2019..
My nearest airport is #coimbatore #cjbairport
Cheers from #coimbatore #tamilnadu
They have not updated the 777 fleetbut their a350s and 787s have a totally different product onboard. Great vid though.
yeah, I believe 777 will feature a even newer design than 350 and 787
Really good trip and I wish there are Airlines in East Asia that can offer this type of service that includes their flights to MNL🇵🇭. I have a question for you Jayden how long is The Layover from your last flight to this one? If I do EWR-MNL via Istanbul there is a lengthy 8-10 hour layover between the two flights.
24 hours exactly. thanks mate!
@JaydenWong thank you for the answer in fact I've flown a 2-3-2 business class layout before what happens if you are a family the whole row is yours. On Korean Air my mum and Baby Brother was across from me Korean businessmen where the Middle seat and Aisle brother and father were either the aisle in window across from where I am sitting or in front off my row
I think it is an offence to wear Qantas pjs onboard a Turkish flight.
As for the seats, they're everything a premium economy experience should be and in no way can they be considered business class in 2024.
How much would a paid upgrade cost if avaliable for that sector?
$800usd per person :)
Beautiful and cute boy 😊😊
one question Mr.Jayden where do you get your intro
UA-cam
How much would a upgrades cost normally?
I did ask, she said 800USD per person.
@Jayden Wong I still need to see the Yellow striped shirt
ahaha I'll wear it on my next flight, promise
👌🏻
great video as usual......and always love the blog after
i am heading for KOREA either this coming fall/spring of 2025......hope to also visit VIET NAM/THAILAND
trust your bf enjoyed his university days and he is now ready to join the work force......with you by his side😀
thanks for watching! Definitely try go to South East Asia from Korea, because why not :))
@@JaydenWong I WILL TRY TO SEE VIET NAM/THAILAND.....also taking your advice-going to try to fly Singapore Airlines....like to also try out Swiss Air....and maybe even the Viet Nam air line when i am in Korea...
****enjoy your lives in Hong Kong
I know which hotel you stayed in
Upgraded!!! Yes awesome! I have NVR flown Turkish but after this video I don't think I would ...generally speaking if I can I would rather fly Asian carriers esp in business class...but hey it's free no complaints there 😂❤❤
haha yes, SQ and TK are tough choices on IST-SIN.
Food: SQ has BTC, TK has the chefs and unique experience
Seats: SQ wider and more private. TK 2-3-2.
TK if I fly with 6’4. SQ if I’m alone haha
What is your favoiute airline snack
my all time favourite inflight snack would have to be the timtam on Qantas! I know you didn't ask, but favourite inflight drink is Finnair blueberry juice haha
Nice one Jayden
thanks!!
Just came across ur channel and Im already in love with it! New subscriber!! ♥
thank you :) and welcome
Never again. I was in Turkish business from Riyadh to Istanbul when I needed to go to the bathroom. I asked the FA and she pointed to front one. I hesitated because I was worried it’s occupied. The first officer came out to accuse me of spying on him!!!!! He kept shouting for a few minutes.
They dont have Chefs onboard! They are FA. You really think they have kitchens on the planes? Its all pre-made and heated in a microwave.
They’re not FA, they don’t perform FA roles. Not *everything* is pre-made. Eggs for example are freshly cooked on some planes for business and first class.
wow that's a really outdated business class layout
Istanbul/ Turkey is not Europe!, is in Asia
10:26, Wrong time from Kuala Lumpur. Istanbul is 5 hours ahead of Kuala Lumpur. 14:45, I thought it's a real window inside the lavatory, but it's not, little disappointed.
Woopsie
Yep. Before you upload, double check your edit, so that the time is correct and not wrong time.
Wait, most of Asia is ahead of Europe/the Eurasian boundary and the Americas, so even if Jayden's times were wrong Istanbul simply cannot be ahead of Kuala Lumpur.
I paid CAD$5000 for a return business class ticket from Vancouver to Istanbul. I am a senior Asian woman and the way the crew members treated me was extremely poor. They only gave me cheese penne for dinner because the fish in the main memu was out of stock. I hate cheese and penne and was left hungry for most of the trip. They did not care. Someone occupied my seat and I have to fight to get back my window seat, the t able was bnroken and no one cares. I will not fly Turkish Airlines for the rest of my life. The business class of Air Canada, Japan Airlines, Eva Airlines, China Airlines, IcelandAirlines, Singapore Airlines are much much better then Turkist Airlines.
If only their customer support was not horrendous. Used to be a much better airlines few years ago. Really gone down the drain in recent years. I'm talking about business class.
Ah Jayden didn’t want to be back of the bus 🤣
Jayden u of all people know nothing is free It was the fact the agent recognized u as u are now an infamous UA-camr
Your seat area needed to be sanitized
Jayden champagne and nuts ? U know Dennis Bunnik Jeb Brooks as well several others rolled their eyes ? They say it supposed to be a G&T ! lol 😂
I actually chose the champagne haha. The crew did ask what I wanted, not sure on Jeb’s or Dennis’ flights
The food didn't look amazing, I think i've heard years of hype about TK's inflight catering and this just looked a bit average really... great seeing you up the front tho!!
thanks Hayden :) Yeah the food was more about the experience not the taste.
Why do you keep referring to your boyfriend as 6'4" instead of his real name? Perhaps his height might have helped you guys score that free upgrade?
Pic of 6'4?
I can’t expose him too much due to his job. I may do so say on my personal social media account but definitely not on here
The travel Gods are with you today, Free Upgrade to Business Class, yippee 🥳6ft4? Oops, I see him walking to the boarding gate ❤❤
A MIDDLE SEAT IN BUSINESS CLASS
Strange
haha when the agent said she'll upgrade me, 6'4 thought he was excluded. We didn't say much but then when she gave us the boarding passes, we saw 3D and 3E 😍
