Hey...have your flown in comfort class yet? I booked a comfort class seat to Istanbul from NY. I'm hoping it is worth the extra $60. I hate getting there without sleep, maybe this will help me rest.

Came back to let my buddies here know about the amazing deal from IAD-IST from THY. They have a special going on where it is $599 round trip (not incl taxes I think) from the previous cities. The promotion will be going on for a while. Right now the it is about 920 to fly from ATL-IST with THY.

In ATL you will be on UA then route through ORD and then be put on THY metal out of Chicago. The ORD flight doesn't have Comfort Class though. :(

Also, do we have any interviews coming up?

AHHH They don't offer comfort class on Chicago flights. I fly out of atl but always get transferred through ord so unless I get lucky I won't even have that option. Comfort class for $60 is well worth it. I have read a lot of reports from people that have tried it and the food is better and it is less cramped. You got a bargain, they have been offering CC upgrades at some airports for $200 one way. Not to mention the CC cabin is usually quite empty. What airport do you usually fly out of?

Hi Michelle, Bulut and I are chugging along. He is working now and will get here in December. We are planning a little getaway then to finally enjoy being able to be in one place for a long period of time. We have been together a little over 3 years but this will be the first getaway we will do where neither one of us has been to the destination before.

Your interview is finally here! That was the most nerve wracking part for me. The entire thing went along as I had hoped, right down to the timeline so I was worried that we would have a hitch because it was too easy. You hear all of the horror stories so you begin to think that something will happen. Even our rfe wasn't bad. The embassy in Ankara is good. Just don't bring everything because they won't take it all. Only bring the pertinent info. Bulut brought a bunch of stuff and the person told him to pick and choose because the official couldn't look through everything.

I fly out of Atlanta too! I live 40 minutes north of the Atlanta Airport. It normally takes me through JFK. And I guess since I flew last they upgraded those planes to Istanbul. I also have Silver Medallion status with Delta, so that's why the $60 upgrade fee. I didn't know the food was also better. Good selling point!

HAHA the other day I thought you had elite status when you said you went to Turkey 3 times already. I need to do a mileage run, but I hope to get status with a new job I'm about to start. I remembered that someone said that the comfort class cabins were usually empty and that it was because they made it difficult to book online. I did a few dummy searches today and the other day and sure enough, I couldn't book comfort class. The cheapest flights in Dec out of Atl have me on LH so it seems like comfort class keeps missing me. AAAH!!!

Yeah...that's why I was able to buy the CC. They offer it first to medallion members. I did opt for a slightly higher priced ticket to keep my status on Delta this year. And it reduces the cost of comfort class when you're medallion also.

Yes, that's it. I looked on the site and cc is out of LAX and LGA & JFK in the states. I can't get an NYC routing with THY for anything. I always get Chicago. The only time I had an NYC routing was with Delta and flight 72/73 with Delta is horrific in econ. A while ago I found some good bus rates but I can't find those rates anymore. You will def enjoy cc.
