My flight from Düsseldorf to Istanbul was simply great and deserves a positive review. The two outstanding positive features of this trip were the comfort and relaxation. The flight was extremely comfortable, from the spacious seats to the friendly and attentive crew. The amenities on board helped to make the journey absolutely relaxing. Even during a long flight, I felt fresh and rested. The flight also provided an opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous views from the windows and appreciate the time in the air. The opportunity to sit back, relax and watch the clouds was truly remarkable. A small drawback was the price of the air ticket, which was a little higher. Nevertheless, the positive aspects of the trip far outweighed this small disadvantage. Overall, my flight from Düsseldorf to Istanbul was extremely pleasant and friendly. The comfort, relaxation and quality of the flight experience make this connection a recommendable option for travellers, even if it is a little more expensive.

I had a direct flight from Düsseldorf to Istanbul with Turkish Airlines and it was really world class. The flight was on time for 3 hours except for 10 minutes. The staff were super friendly. There was food on board and drinks. My luggage arrived and was undamaged. Both airports are really nice and big. The cleanliness on the plane was good to very good and the staff was super friendly. Price-performance ratio was good. The comfort of the seats was also good, as it is in economy on a plane. There were mobile phone charging facilities at the seat.

IconToo many people on the plane
Here I would like to share my experience for the flight from Düsseldorf to Istanbul. When I arrived at the airport in Düsseldorf, there was a very long queue, already at check-in, and it took an hour and a half to even check in. There was also a long wait at the security checkpoints. The flight itself was quite good, but the plane was very cold, i.e. the air conditioning was turned up very high and it was cold in the plane. One toilet was out of order, so there was a traffic jam in front of the toilets. The toilets were clean under the circumstances. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable, the flight was very cheap. However, it was very noisy on the plane and the space was very small.

My flight ticket from Düsseldorf to Istanbul was really great! I was impressed by the comfort on the plane and was able to travel in a relaxed manner. The price-performance ratio was also great, I didn't pay too much. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the aircraft, everything was tidy. But here comes the catch: unfortunately, there were no power sockets. That was a bit annoying, especially if you want to work while travelling. Nevertheless, if comfort, good value for money and cleanliness are important to you and you can do without power sockets, this flight ticket is definitely recommendable. I had a pleasant journey.
