ReviewsReviews for the flight from Hamburg to Istanbul
The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
The cabin crew were attentive and professionalThe aircraft was modern. The seats were quite comfortableDisadvantages
Online check-in was not possible, so we had to arrive earlierThe departure from Hamburg Airport was on time with flight number TK7883. Online check-in was not possible for this flight, so it is advisable to plan in advance.
The cabin crew were attentive and professional and ensured that all passengers were well looked after.
Hamburg Airport is easily accessible. The journey from the city centre takes a maximum of 30 minutes.
Advantages
The flight took off on time and landed on schedule in Istanbul.I had enough legroom and the seats were quite comfortable.The toilet was clean, which is very important to me.Disadvantages
There were no individual screens and the entertainment was very limited.My flight with Condor from Hamburg to Istanbul went well overall. The punctual departure and landing were particularly important for me. The seats were also fine and I had enough legroom. The staff were friendly. The toilet was clean, which is also very important for me. One small point of criticism is the limited entertainment on offer, as there were no individual screens. Overall, however, the price-performance ratio was good.
Advantages
Online check-inLuggageHardly any waiting timeDisadvantages
Duration of changeoverWaiting times in FrankfurtReceives luggage IstanbulAs always, the online check-in worked well. Unfortunately, I was not shown a seat for the onward flight to Istanbul, which I found strange. A note came out of the gate during boarding. In this case, I was allocated a business class seat that I hadn't even booked. This had apparently been possible due to my Star Alliance status. There was more space and a much more extensive service.
Advantages
The flight took off and landed very punctually, which made for a stress-free journeyThe staff on the aircraft were helpful and friendlyThe cleanliness at my seat and in the toilet was goodDisadvantages
The entertainment on the plane was quite limited, which made the flight relatively boring for meThe flight from Hamburg to Istanbul with Condor was a good experience for me overall. The seats were comfortable, which is particularly important for me on a long flight. I also had enough legroom. The friendly staff on the aircraft ensured that the service was pleasant. The punctual arrival was also a plus point, as I arrived in Istanbul without any delays. Unfortunately, I was a little bored during the flight, as there wasn't really any in-flight entertainment on offer. Nevertheless, I think the price-performance ratio is really fair and the cleanliness was also completely fine.
Advantages

Little legroomWifi not availableMy journey from Hamburg to Istanbul was a mixed experience. The flight schedule was on time and check-in went smoothly. My seat was comfortable, but the legroom could be better. Unfortunately, wifi was not available, but the power sockets in the wifi were handy. The cabin crew were friendly and always helpful. The cleanliness of the flight was excellent and the toilets were also clean.
Advantages
Punctual journeyUncomplicated bookingDelicious menu on boardDisadvantages
SeatsMy flight from Hamburg to Istanbul was perfectly organised. The booking went without a hitch and check-in was also completed very quickly. There was a delicious menu on board during the flight, which I enjoyed. The seats on the plane were a bit cramped for me. Finally, I should mention that there were no delays and I reached my destination on time. All in all, a good experience.
Advantages
EmployeesCabinCateringDisadvantages
noneThe staff at the airport in Hamburg were friendly and efficient, so I immediately felt that I was in good hands.
The boarding process was clearly structured and punctual. The crew gave clear instructions, which made everything stress-free and pleasant. I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything was organised, despite the usual crowds and large number of travellers.
The cabin was clean and well maintained. The seats are absolutely fine for a short-haul flight. There were free bottles of water, which I really appreciated.
The service on board was very friendly and attentive. Although the food was not free, the selection of snacks and drinks was quite appealing. I bought a small snack and a drink - both were delicious and fresh.
The flight itself was quiet and on time. We took off and landed exactly on time, which is always a plus.
Advantages
VolumeComfortHygienePersonnelDisadvantages
PriceMy journey from Hamburg to Istanbul was great and fascinating! The volume was appropriate and was well regulated by the staff. I was able to relax and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere on board. The seats were also comfortable, cosy and large. They offered enough seating space and were equipped with blankets and cushions. Good attention was paid to hygiene, as the toilets and seats were well maintained and clean. The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. I therefore felt very well looked after. However, I found the price of the ticket to be expensive. Overall, I am still very happy with the ticket!
Advantages
Pleasant routeNice flightDisadvantages
NoneI love flying to Istanbul. As I did a few days ago.
I flew to Istanbul from Hamburg on 30 October.
I find the flight time pleasant. It's not too long and you can recover relatively well before arrival.
The staff are almost always extremely friendly, as was also the case on my flight this time.
I had the opportunity to buy catering on board, which I found very good.
The journey took about 3 hours.
Anyone who has not yet seen Istanbul should definitely do so.
I highly recommend the flight from Hamburg to Istanbul.
Advantages
Direct flightPrice-performance ratioDisadvantages
Circling before landingI flew with my girlfriend from Hamburg to Istanbul in August. The flight was with Pegasus Airlines PC1046. As we had two separate bookings, we were unfortunately not allocated consecutive seats at online check-in. That's why we asked again at the gate and the employee kindly offered us two seats next to each other at the emergency exit, which are otherwise subject to a charge! Beyond that, it was an uneventful flight in a modern Airbus A321. Snacks and drinks were available to buy and the seats were sufficiently comfortable. Unfortunately, the landing in Istanbul only took place after some circling due to the traffic, but that cannot be blamed on the airline.
