Turkish Airlines recently started their 4 days a week flight to Nepal. Anyone who has travelled to Nepal in Turkish flight, can you please share your experience? Thank you.

Particularly the one at Istanbul on your return. I have my travel date coming up and I have not submitted visa application to Turkish consulate.

I had a pretty decent experience flying Turkish about 2 years ago. They didn't have flights to Nepal, so Delhi was the closest I could get (with them). I did have a little bit of difficulty communicating with the airport staff as most of the ones I encountered were not able to understand and respond in English, and I needed to get a boarding pass replacement as I had misplaced mine. I managed to make my way through them to the right person, but they all seemed helpful and concerned (to at least understand the issue)!

The flight to India felt like flying on an Indian aircraft. The in-flight entertainment options, food menu, people, the smell; and the overall atmosphere was very different (more 'Indianish'). Nothing wrong with that, just felt and seemed such!

Since Istanbul is in Europe, make sure you do some research around the duty-free liquid purchase policy (if they still have it enforced). I had a terrible time in Brussels on a different trip. I've been trying to stay away from Europe stops since then..      

There's nothing else remarkable or worth mentioning from what I remember. So, take it easy - and enjoy the travel! 

BTW, Istanbul looked stunning from the sky.. :-)

I traveled to Kathmandu from IAH to KTM on Turkish. Overall, the experience was good. The service was good, seats were ok and food was nice. Istanbul Airport is much more crowded than any airports I had been to. 

The best thing about turkish airlines was the "promotional fare" and that's about it. And enjoy while it lasts. I think it is set to end soon and the flights are being curtailed from US in general.
