A round of Applause for Turkish Airlines
10 April 2015
Dear Turkish Airlines,
I have recently discovered that there happens to be a slight negative opinion of you solely based on that fact your headquartered out of a country that has a very large Muslim population. I will not claim to know much of anything about Turkey itself, other than I felt like the biggest outsider at the airport in Istanbul, but let me set the record straight about you as an airline.
The moment I entered your transcontinental airliner I was impressed. It was spacious and clean. I found my seat easily with flight attendant's guidance. Once I arrived at my seat I find waiting for me a little pile of amenities. The pillow and blanket were pretty standard but the headphones and slippers was a very appreciated extra touch. You didn't stop there though. You gave me Turkish delights to start, then a warm towel, a care package including socks, ear plugs, tooth brush, toothpaste, lip balm and a sleeping mask. If that was not enough to blow me away all drinks (including alcohol- even though I don't drink) and two solid meals plus dessert were free. Have you ever heard of such a thing now a days? I was shocked, and elated. After I put on, ate, and used every cool thing they gave me I scrolled through all of the newly released block buster hits on my personal TV, I played the annoying roll of the American giggle and jabbering on about how awesome the flight and service was- everyone else seemed to expect it already.
After we landed we had to take a connecting flight from Istanbul to Madrid. Although the flight was shorter and the plane was far less taken care of and clean I still received my Turkish delights, free meal, drinks and a movie to watch.
I have flown a couple time on major airlines to countries far away but must I say I have never yet before before enjoyed my flight quite that much. Thank you for making an excruciatingly long trip tolerable. Keep doing what your doing, because at this point I would go out of my way to fly with you again.
Respectfully,
Kierstin
