In Flight Entertainment

Currently at 35000 feet and about an hour from Beijing. Turkish Airlines have been really good. We started in the No. 1 lounge at Birmingham airport which offered a range of meals and snacks and was generally quiet and quite relaxed. First flight was to Istanbul very comfortable. Good in flight entertainment nice touchscreen system that came out of the seat. And there was more food, meze followed by lamb. Then we arrived in Istanbul and went to find the Turkish Airlines Lounge. It was amazing, vast. Showers, suites. Multiple food choices, tons of entertainment including Scalextric, golf simulation and a pool table. Dad was particularly impressed with the help yourself bar stocked with a range of high end brands. I had a tiny Henessey cognac (Mandy sized) whilst Dad helped himself to a JD and coke. Only a short stay here and then off to find our next flight. The Beijing business class in some ways hasn't felt as plush as the short haul. That was a new (or recently refurbished) plane. This is a bit more scuffed but it has very friendly staff, an in-flight chef and they make up your bed for you! Yet more food... Different meze followed by chicken. Then a few hours sleep (4ish) and breakfast. Salad, cheese, another warm seeded bagel followed by scrambled egg with mushrooms and tomato. Now we are on the final descent to Beijing.Read more
