Find Deals on Flights from New York John F Kennedy Intl to Istanbul Ataturk & other airports (JFK - IST)

The plane was uncomfortable, the seats looked unsafe, the flight was overcrowded with many crying babies, the food was terrible. Turbulence caused the flight to take an hour longer, which was even more excruciating.

The crew was very helpful Instructions for passengers were given clearly

The plane was very small and tight. Everyone had carry-on luggage but the cabin didn't fit! some people even had carry-on items larger than the cabin dimensions!! Food was cold and not tasty

Flight was on time. The crew was very courteous and helpful. Good selection of movies.

I'm tall, so the seats did not have a lot of leg room in economy.

The crew was nice.

By far the strangest plane I've ever flown on and definitely not what you expect for a long international flight. The seats were so close together and the aisles were really narrow. It was like taking a spirit airlines flight for 10 hours. I later flew domestic on Turkish airlines and that flight was much better.

Not friendly stuarders..

They had a snack even on such a short redeye flight!

No vegetarian snack option though.

old plane, no personal tv

on time

A good flight for the price paid

Timing was not the best. Too early in the morning.

Nothing

Service is nonexistent. Few crew. Everything is for sale, even Terrible tea and coffee!!!

Great crew

Pretty hot in the cabin during boarding until engines start up... Crew was polite but unpleasant .

Great food.

Food and drink was great

Seating could be a little better

Cost, friendly service. Exotic language, but all announcements repeated in English. The flight was on a B737-800, which is fairly new. The airport in Kyev seems to be run by a private corporation. There were not a lot of flights coming and going. It was like being in Toledo, OH, except for the language.

Wish we could have had more time in Kyev. There was no movies or music on the plane.

We got prity much on time and flight was O.K.No specific complains

one huge problem was when one of our back pack didn't arrive at airport in Barcelona and was found later at Kiev airport. We had to buy extra clothing and equipment for out trip in the Pyrenees. It coast as money and time abd offcours - lot of disapointment/ on the way back home, i was forced to give up an expensiv bootle of wisky during the costume chek at keiv. They told me i need a special plastic bag after 3 hours of flight in the same company. no plastic bag was offered or avilable. thry suugested i'll drink it.....?????

Everything went smoothly. No lost bag. Food. Crew spoke English unlike on Aeroflot. Flight didn't change gates without notice(again unlike Aeroflot). Turkish flights left 30 minutes late but arrived on time, so did not feel rushed to catch connecting flights.

Food was mediocre. Ticketing crew were mediocre as well. Reassurance that my checked in bag would make it was half-hearted and non-committal when I asked.

Turkish Delight-ful

Cabin temperature rather warm during transatlantic flight

Flight was delayed over 2 hours. They don't announce anything on the speaker to keep you informed so we almost missed the flight altogether The vouchers they gave us for our wait weren't offered until just before boarding so we spent cash and never used the vouchers.

The boarding area staff were extremely helpful and immediately got me on an SAS flight to Heathrow to connect to a United Airlines flight to SFO. They also rushed my suitcase directly through to United.

That I didn't get a chance to actually fly on AirBerlin!

Excellent TV Screens

Row 30 had very little leg room. It felt like we had 30 inch pitch.

Nothing really!

Nothing to mention!
