Turkish Airlines 777 Business Class Review – Great Food, Bad Seats?

Welcome back to another trip report. Today we’re flying long-haul in Turkish Airlines Business Class from Istanbul to Chicago O’Hare on the Boeing 777-300ER. This daytime flight clocks in at around 11 hours and showcases some of the highs and lows of the Turkish experience. Turkish Airlines is known for its world-class lounge in Istanbul and outstanding onboard catering, but their 777 Business Class seats are a different story. In this review, I cover everything from the pre-departure lounge experience to the meals and amenities in the air — and I’ll give you my honest take on whether it holds up to the hype. 📍 Route Info Origin: Istanbul (IST) Destination: Chicago (ORD) Flight Number: TK5 Aircraft: Boeing 777-300ER Flight Date: May 4, 2023 Instagram: @TheAircraftKing 📝 Full Flight Review: https://theaircraftking.com/2025/05/1... 📹 Full Takeoff Clip:    • Turkish 777 Business class takeoff: Istanb...   ⏱️ Table of Contents: 00:00–02:12: Introduction 02:12–04:46: Check-in and Security 04:46–06:45: Turkish Airlines Business Class Lounge 06:45–07:20: Boarding 07:20–08:41: Seat Tour 08:41–09:14: Amenities 09:14–10:34: Menu 10:34–11:43: Engine Start and Taxi 11:43–13:04: Takeoff and Climb 13:04–15:37: Lunch Service 15:37–16:47: Amenity Kit and Nap Time 16:47–17:38: Pre-Arrival Meal 17:38–18:06: Wifi 18:06–18:30: Approach and Captain's Welcome 18:30–20:17: My Final Thoughts 20:17–21:35: Landing 21:35–21:50: Finale 🎵 Music in this Video: Track: Your Gentle Touch — Artificial.Music & Syiphorous [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch:    • Your Gentle Touch (feat. Syiphorous) — Art...   Free Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/your-gentle-touch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “KevinMacLeod – Sardana” is under a Free To Use YouTube license / kmmusic Music powered by BreakingCopyright:    • 'Sardana' by Kevin MacLeod | 🇪🇸 Spanish Gu...   Turkish Airlines Boarding Music
