I’d want more information about the meal options offered by Turkish Airlines. Could you tell me about the meal selections that passengers in different cabin classes have access to? What details are there about the in-flight dining experience, such as menu choices and exclusive gourmet deals, and are there any dietary restrictions that can be met?
Oscar says:
My recent journey with Turkish Airlines involved exceeding my baggage allowance, and I must say the experience was surprisingly positive. The process of handling excess baggage was smooth, and the staff at the check-in counter were helpful and efficient. Turkish Airlines’ reasonable excess baggage fees and the overall ease of the process made a significant difference. A great airline for those who occasionally need a little extra luggage space
