Turkish Airlines in economy class used to be a good product. In this video, you will learn what it’s like now. From the seat to the food and service, join me on this trip from Abu Dhabi to Switzerland. One area of the Turkish Airlines economy product is perhaps beyond saving.

This video is NOT sponsored. I paid for this trip myself. The airline did not know ahead of time that I was going to make a video, and the views presented are my own. Some product links are affiliate links. If you use them I may receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you.
