Turkish Airlines: unbeatable value for business class

Turkish Airlines business class is arguably the best value proposition in premium travel. The airline flies to more countries than any other carrier, offers a genuinely excellent in-flight product, and — crucially — consolidator fares are extremely competitive. On the B787-9 and A350, the business class seat is a 1-2-1 fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

The real standout is the food. Turkish Airlines catering is handled by DO&CO, and the multi-course meals are genuinely restaurant-quality. The Turkish breakfast service is legendary. We rate Turkish Airlines business class 8.9/10.

Istanbul Lounge: the world's largest

The Turkish Airlines Business Lounge at Istanbul Airport (IST) is the largest airline lounge in the world at over 5,900 square metres. It features a patisserie, a movie theatre, a golf simulator, shower suites, sleeping rooms, and multiple dining stations including a grill, Turkish cuisine counter, and international options. The lounge is so large that you could easily spend 4-5 hours without getting bored.

For connecting passengers, Istanbul Airport is an excellent hub with connections to over 300 destinations worldwide.
