Turkish Airlines 777

admin

Boeing 777-300 operated by Turkish Airlines may transport 349 passengers in two classes: business and economy.

Business class offers 49 flat bed seats that have 177 degree recline. These seats are divided into two sections. First section has 4 rows of seats that have 2-3-2 configuration and the second section – 3 rows with the same configuration.

Location of the galley behind may cause discomfort to passengers of the seats of the 4th row.

The second section of business class seats is located behind the exit row. The noise from the galley and lavatories located behind may be bothersome for passengers’ of the seats of the 7th row.

Jan 15, 2021 Turkish Airlines offers 49 lie flat seats in business class onboard its 777-300ERs. Spanning seven rows, each row has seven seats in a 2-3-2 configuration. Although the thought of a middle seat in business class seems so outmoded in 2021, one thing I love about the Turkish Airlines business class seat is that your feet are not constrained.

  2. On these re-configured Boeing 777-300ERs, Turkish Airlines has removed their Premium Economy Class product and updated their Business Class with a minor cabin refresh. The seats have been improved slightly for better storage and increased privacy but everything else remains the same.

Economy class consists of 300 standard seats that are located in three sections. Most of the economy class seats have 3-3-3 configuration.

First section includes 6 rows of seats per 9 in each. The seats of the 11th row have the following disadvantages: close location of the galleys and lavatories, reduced seat width and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

The main disadvantage of the seats 14A and 14K is no windows.

Due to the exit row located behind the seats of the 16th row are less reclining than standard.

The second section of economy class seats has 16 rows of seats: 14 of them have 3-3-3 configuration and 2 rows contain 3 seats.

The seats 23DEG, 24ABC and 24HJK are considered the best seats because they offer extra legroom. However, these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing. In addition, the seats 24ABC and 24HJK are a little narrower than standard as the tray tables are built-in the armrests making them immovable.

Close location of the galley will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 38DEG.

The last section of economy class seats offers 114 seats. Thanks to the exit row in front passengers of the seats 40ABC and 40HJK will feel comfortable as these seats have extra space for their legs. But these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing, have slightly reduced seat width and are located close to the galley.

The seats 42DEG are considered good seats as passengers of these seats will feel comfortable during the flight thanks to extra legroom.

Because of the curvature of the airplane the seats 49A and 49K have limited space for passengers’ legs.

As there are no seats behind, the seats 50C and 50H are often bumped by other passengers and crew members passing by.

Other passengers tend to gather in the area of the seats 52B, 52J and of the seats of the last 53th row while waiting to use lavatories thus causing discomfort to passengers of these seats. Limited legroom makes the seats of the 53th row bad seats.


This time I was travelling from Beijing to Istanbul on Turkish Airlines Boeing 777. The Istanbul based airline serves more destinations than any other airline in the world and was awarded best carrier in Europe for 6 consecutive times. I have tried their Economy Class a few times and I was always very impressed. Let's see what was awaiting me in their award winning Business Class...

My trip kicked off at the 74th floor of the China World Summit Wing Shangri-La Hotel alias the World Trade Centre of Beijing with a magnificent view over the Chinese Capital. If you ever come to Peking, make sure you give this place a try.

Air China Lounge Beijing Airport

Turkish Airlines doesn't operate an own lounge at Beijing Capital Airport. As a part of Star Alliance, the airline offers access to the Air China Business Lounge at Terminal 3. To be honest, the lounge isn't very impressive, especially if you compare to the TK lounge in Istanbul which is simply amazing. However it serves it's purpose. It offers a little buffet, hot and cold beverages and a few cozy couches and arm chairs... However, there is Starbucks at the entrance of the lounge!


The Turkish Airlines Business Class Seat

Boarding started approx. 40 mins prior departure and I was welcomed by the cabin manager at the door who pointed out my seat. The configuration of the cabin is a 2-3-2 which means that their is one seat in the middle which doesn't have direct aisle access. It's similar to Emirates Business Class on their Boeing 777. The seat is quite comfortable with plenty of leg room. It can turn into a complete flat bed and becomes one with the ottoman for maximum length.

Storage room is provided between the two screens, underneath the ottoman and the armrest. This is also where the remote control, the USB port and the power plug are located. The seat controls are on top of centre console, which are quite straight-forward. Before take off a welcome drink was offered and the Sky Chef introduced himself and talked me through the menu. I was also asked to fill out my breakfast order which I was happy to do.

Shortly after take off hot towels were given out and the dinner service kicked off. I also liked the fact that slippers were available, which Qatar Airways doesn't do anymore! The cabin was only half full and the seat next to me stayed empty. The crew was efficient and fast but lacked a bit of personality, however, the Sky Chef was great and took huge pride in his job when introducing the food.

The entertainment system featured a few good movies and the sound of the Denon Headphones was spotless. I watched 'The Founder' which is the story of Ray Kroc, the man who turned McDonalds into what it is today. Pretty good movie, I enjoyed it. The second movie I watched was 'Live by night' starring Ben Affleck. The movie was super lame and one of the worst I have seen in recent months. However, the screen was very responsive and scrolling through the movies went smooth as butter.

After dinner service (more details below) I went to sleep. The crew actually attached an extra layer to your bed before the dinner service starts so you can go straight to sleep afterwards. This is just so much more convenient since it's hard to get hold of the crew during the busy periods and to ask them to get your bed prepared. Turkish Airline offers internet onboard for a fee. I was just too tired to try it out since I rather wanted to sleep but there is an option if you wonder.

I had a solid 7 hour sleep and I gotta admit that the seats are extremely comfortable and wide. The one downside to the seating is that there’s very little seat storage, so unless you get up and place something in the forward console there’s really nowhere you can store things.

Turkish Airlines Award Winning Business Class Food

Turkish Airlines food starts to amaze the moment you receive your first tea and nuts. Usually I never touch them but when I tried the pistachios I was totally surprised. They were lovely as well as the tea. I couldn't wait for the starter. A pistachio (again!) Chicken Roll with Prawn. The whole set up needs to be mentioned as well. You get a tray with bread and butter, olive oil and a little bowl of Turkish seasoning. The real highlight was the little fake candle which had 'Candle light dinner in the skies' written on it. Awesome!

I decided to give the 'Catch of the Day' a try since I really love sea food. British Airways took my joy away from being too eager when it comes to fish on board since they served the driest salmon I have ever tried but the Turkish carrier totally restored my faith. The Sea Bass was probably the most delicious food I ever had on a flight. Full of taste, juicy and fresh. I was extremely satisfied.

After the main service, the dessert cart was rolled around with a wide choice of sweet pleasures. It was nicely presented and I gave the Lemon Tart a go and It was just the perfect ending of a delicious candle light dinner in the skies...


Breakfast Service

I woke up 2 hours prior landing and to my surprise everybody else in the cabin was still vast asleep. On my way to the bathroom the SkyChef checked on me and asked whether I was ready for breakfast 'Sure go ahead' was my answer. He took my order shortly after take off so he could just go ahead since he knew what I wanted.

The breakfast consisted of a plater of fresh fruits and was later completed by a cheese omelette with potatoes and a grilled tomato. I had a fresh orange juice and a coffee with it. Shortly we would start our descent into Istanbul, with rain clouds on the horizon.

Turkish Airlines Bottomline:

To sum up my experience in one word? I'd say 'delicious'. The food quality is outstanding and was close to fine dining. It does really leave an impression on you. The seat was extremely comfortable and spacious, however the 2-3-2 configuration is a bit outdated. The entertainment was spot on, WiFi is available and overall the crew is performing well, even though they could have been a bit more engaging. I'd definitely fly Turkish Airlines again on any international flight.
