I wish to fly by United as long as possible for my accumulated Lifetime Miles.<br /> 2. Those two airports are the worst for me.<br />Therefore, the best choices are MUC, FRA or ZRH but it’s always FRA because of the prices and availability of connecting flights. Turkish Air covers all of above airports but Frankfurt is one of the most frequent connections. That’s because of the demands and higher population of Turkish people in Germany, I guess. In fact, lots of people can not speak English but German.<br /><br />And yes about the passengers’ behaviors in TK aircraft. I saw vast majority of Turkish passengers neither are not frequent flyers nor follow the Westerners’ rules. Surprisingly, Japanese follows Westerners’ rule quite well. Anyhow, the passengers in Lufthansa are less redneck but the carrier’s service and meals are awful. I think Lufthansa never compete with Turkish Air for the foods and hospitality. The difference is just like Japanese carriers and US ones.obaKobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520586031308040420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030843786433538220.post-58204420449159941162018-06-14T21:41:35.156-07:002018-06-14T21:41:35.156-07:00obaKoba-sann,
According to your past articles, I ...obaKoba-sann,<br /><br />According to your past articles, I have generally got good impressions from the TK’s flights containing the C class between SFO and IST. <br />You told me before that you usually pick FRA links to IST since it is much better than CDG or LHR.<br /><br />LH and TK are the competitors for the linking part of FRA/IST, though from your point of view, TK’s meal services are better than LH’s both on C/Y classes in European flights.<br />Still, the LH’s customers are in a little bit excelling Western behavior in comparison with TK’s, aren’t they ?<br />I know esp. in case of setbacks of the flight, Turkish customers at once take the safety straps off and begin rushing forward the way out of the aircraft with bulky luggage.<br /><br />If the inflight meals were on the same level, I’d prefer LH to TK.<br />However, it’d be a difficult question…<br /><br />best denkiYamada denkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208013314781576920noreply@blogger.com
