Having lived and worked in Hawaii for decades, daily domestic flights were the way to get to work and home every day of the week. Living in Kona and flying to work in Honolulu was a delight. 20 min flight home in FC with a glass of wine; is there any better life/work style than that? But what made it the ultimate was the family feel of Aloha Airlines.
What’s the name of that hotel you mention in Izmir please , I can’t find it
@@talelwahabi I was speaking about the airlines in Hawaii; Aloha Airlines. They are now defunct as Hawaiian Airlines mostly ran them out of business. They never claimed bankruptcy as a family owned business unlike Hawaiian did a few times.
Hey Dan, nice Video! FYI the IST Domestic Lounge has a Bus Gates for his own. If the economy passengers are finished with boarding, the business class passengers will be boarded. You could easily check the lounge out (but the lounge is nothing special….)
I study in Istanbul and my family lives in Ankara, because of that I've flown between Istanbul and Ankara many times with Turkish Airlines on 787-9, A330-200 and 777-300ER, they were amazing and the flight time is approximataly 40 minutes.
Wow, lucky!
Well I love Turkey and DAN this summer am going to Sweden(a country THAT I love) but am going to Stockholm and visit other cities WHEN I I finish university(currently learning how to be a captain in university) am going to fly Turkish airlines, Qatar airways or Middleast airlines.
And also I will start flying at 19 but am 18(and sorry I love talking since chikdhood😁😁😁😁)
I live in ankara too but my family are in Kuwait so I still need to fly to Istanbul and then Kuwait
@@abbasdabbousithecaptain3599 what class
Shortest flight I've ever taken in Turkey was from Istanbul to Canakkale. You're only in the air for like 25 minutes. I felt bad for the crew as they were passing out the meals like they were on the amazing race. 🤣 Nevertheless, I never had a bad experience with them. The crew is always so kind and considerate.
Thanks Dan for including the love of my life at 00:01 - stunning as ever ❤
Hey Josh! Such a fan of you!
SUCH a stunner, and so touching to see her in Istanbul!
I have NO clue what happened. But my best guess was a green crew who advanced the throttles without completing the prior-to-takeoff checklist. The configuration alarm sounded, the pilots thought they fixed the problem, attempted the takeoff again, problem persisted, and then they triple checked everything before departing successfully.
Take this hypothesis with a pinch of salt so great you'll get sodium poisoning. But yes.
Thanks for sharing this - interesting!
i dont think you are wrong. Turkish has notoriously derp pilots at least in terms of how they fly. Talked to a Danish pilot who worked there, and he said their culture in the cockpit isn't the most sterile. So I doubt they are the best trained too. I flew once with them, where over the middleeast/asia, we literally did a circle, on a nightflight from BKK i think. As in, a full 360, even saw it on the map. as if circling due to congestion or tech issues, and countless dodgy landings as well. I know about the soft landings not being good, so thats not what im talking about. But yea. Weird crews for me. Anyone know what my 360 couldve been ?
yeah happened all the time everybody forgot the fucking flaps its normal ...
they have the check 3 times or more ...........I have seen some pilots checks the list 10 times I thing here happened ;they don't check 10 times !
ARE YOU FUCKING MIND !
3 times check list and forget the flaps !
something different happened
they are not the best pilots but definetly there 3 pilots
I don't think all 3 forget the flaps !
or check the list correctly ...... all 3 pilots can see the flaps middel of the consul .....so YOU ARE VERY WRONG !
I’m staying at an IHG hotel now! Just got the notification for this video.
I’m a flight attendant and I love your content, Nonstop Dan! I have not been across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. Your content gives me hope and a lot of insight. Thanks for this video and all the others you have done!
That's so awesome Tionna! Thank you😊
Hi Dan; Just a quick note; if you use the lounge ; there is a separate bus that takes you directly from the lounge to the plane. Also ; if you are coming to the airport by taxi ; just ask the driver to drop you in CIP lounge which has its separate check-in area and directly leads to the CIP Lounge. You simply dont need to walk around that much :)
I'm totally with you on the hot towel and boarding music. Learned to love them on Cathay Pacific 747 flights to and from Hong Kong and beyond. Great way to wash away the ordinary and start a proper adventure. And I created a YT playlist with about 20 airline boarding themes [Faves: Etihad; Emirates; Cathay Pacific] and play it while I work. My short flight story: Years ago I was flying upstate New York to Orlando on US Airways to visit my parents with my son. Can't remember exactly the circumstances but a delay caused us to miss our connecting flight so we ended up in Atlanta and got rebooked on a Delta L-1011 jumbo...ATL to MCO! Must have been a regularly scheduled flight at the time--we're talking late 1980s or early 1990s--but it was an unexpected treat for an hour or so flight. Great video. Thanks for the share...safe travels!
Dan, your enthusiasm for this flight was very infectious. I found myself getting up and boogying with you, lol! Can't believe you got a meal on such a short fight! You can't even get serious snacks on US flights unless your trip is over 2 hours. You had me giggling all through the video! Thanks, Dan!
Thank you for taking this flight and reviewing it for us! Looks awesome! 👍👍👍
Loving the videos. Keep them coming!!
Hi Dan!
It's been more than 8 years that I haven't been on an airplane, but seeing your videos feels like I was on that flight!
KEEP IT UP 👍👍
Are you the real turkish airlines?
I took a domestic (STN-PIK) with Ryanair about two decades ago. The intended airframe had gone tech, so we boarded…a chartered BAC 1-11! Absolutely gorgeous plane to fly. Old-Skool comfortable seats, knotted cord mesh magazine holders (remember those?!) and ridiculous legroom. Even better, because the elderly engines struggled, we cruised at 25,000ft on a gloriously clear day. It was like looking at a scrolling map! Because we were low and slow, it took about 20 mins longer than scheduled. I’d have settled for two more hours! Truly a flight experience from when aviation was a treat. We’ll not see its like again.
WOW that sounds so cool!
So nice you've been to my hometown of Izmir! Flown many times with TK between IST and ADB (both eco and business) and I always try to go for the 777's when I can :D Thanks for the trip report! (the 777's are used commonly as many people fly for short daily round trips or visit family and friends).
Oh Dan! Your excitement was felt in this video. Nice one
Thanks for sharing very nice video,and useful comments 🙏
just the turkish airlines boarding music hits different 😭 its just soo divine and amazing i really wanna travel with them again 😣 keep up the work dan!! lots of love. 💕
Good video. Nicely narrated
I really enjoyed that video ,thx ☺️
Yes, I am so excited that I found you. What's left in me is to have a wishful thinking of traveling the world. I love you videos. So entertaining and informative.
Okay I’m totally jealous of you Dan. This looked like such a special experience to have an empty wide body on such a short route. That is, of the course except for the multiple rejected takeoffs. (No flaps?! Yikes!!) Everything else looked great, especially that tarmac footage of the 777 from the bottom of that stairs! Nice work bud!
Had a pretty enjoyable experience on ANA's Haneda-Sapporo pre-COVID. It was a 550-seat domestic config 773 operated flight at 8am on a Saturday. I was in Econ class but the flight was literally empty. I figure there was less than 50 pax on that plane. So the fantastic part of the flight is that I have 3 rows of 30 seats in total just for myself, not that I can use them all, but it feels really strange. There is no meal service but I got the iconic Japanese cream of corn soup for "drink". They don't advertise the soup but it's available on all domestic flights at the drink cart. The icing on the cake is that wi-fi internet is free on ANA's (and JAL's) domestic flights.
Yes the boarding music do make memories. It's my ringtone now.
Great experience.
Very good video.
Keep it up,Dan.
Ahaha this is one the most epic commentary on nonstopdan 🔥👌
Keep hitting us with such fabulous content!
Another great video, nice one Dan!
Awesome video! I have done this route over a dozen times in all of Turkish Airlines wides body’s. From the A330, A350, B787 and of course the B777. All business class!
Great review !!!!!!
I'll be flying Turkish Airlines for my first time in March from IST to NEV. I'm excited!
This is my home route
Just love your channel! 👏
Thank you so much for the the tip about this route i wil do this flight soon😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you for this RUclips. Fly safe. Ciao.
Great video keep it up!✈💯
loved flying with you i enjoyed it
Great video Dan love youre videos
Wow Dan, that’s amazing! If I got to go on a 777 in business class even for an hour that would be so much fun I would do it all the time. Since the pandemic, domestic carriers have been using more 777s and 787s on some of their domestic routes. I always try to seek those out❤️👍✈️
Such a great video!
Omg, Dan! I had such a crazy shock (in a good way) when I flew from the Philippines to Varna, Bulgaria with a stop over in Istanbul. The shock came when I departed Istanbul but had a (somewhat stopover) in Constanta Romania! The passengers going to Varna did not disembark and stayed on the plane while additional passengers from Constanta boarded! It was the most bizarre (in a good way) experience for me. Oh and Turkish still served food! The flight between the two was less than an hour. 😂
My favorite internal flight (pre covid, I havent been there since the pandemic started) is Koh Samui to Bangkok, with Bangkok Airways. I love the open-air little lounge for all pax, with free popcorn, drinks and snacks at USM. The security video is fun, and on this short 40 minutes flight, you get a small and tasty meal.
Awesome job dan.
you are so lucky :-) Thnx my friend 🙂
Between Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, Qantas sometimes runs this route with their A330s, which are also used on flights to Asia. They have Qantas' lie-flat business suites and it is waaaay better than the recliners on their 737s!
Really depends, it would generally be 1 service a day either at 6AM or 7AM and out of Melbourne. You might have the odd afternoon 787 service maybe once every 2 weeks. The best value is defiantly on the 3-4 hour flights trans continental and trans Tasman in the A330.
Yes!! You could get a Qantas 747 from Brisbane to Sydney quite often and for a few years. I last flew it in 2014. I think it would come in from LAX and then head to Sydney for the Sydney -> SFO route
Wow amazing u flew on the exact plane i flew from washington to istanbul the other day and got diverted to dalaman because of the snow
The thought of a full 777 on a 45 min flight with meal service gives me anxiety as a flight attendant
Lol same. I can’t imagine having to serve meals on a 45 minute flight. The first 10 and the last 10 are spent in the jumpseat/preparing for landing so how can you do a meal service in 25 minutes?!
I prefer TK for business class flights from the U.S. west coast to Europe, even when non-stops are available. The great catering, onboard chef, menu options, and entertainment make for a wonderful flight experience. Then there's the TK lounge at IST, just wow. And, if one is careful in selecting flights, the shorter connecting flight from IST to Europe will be on a wide body with true business class seating and amenities. Thanks for another great video, Dan.
Wow ultra short distance flights Yaay for the climate
Just had this flight yesterday at 7A from ADB-IST. It was a slightly renovated 777. It had bigger screens, full touch-screen IFE controls were mounted at shoulder level at seat enclosing(?) thus giving a bit more privacy. Above the IFE control, there is a fixed reading lamp. Privacy divider was put between seats, so you don't have to lift your armrest. Also, the ottoman under the screen was more like box, it had a lid, so you could put your belongings and then close it. Since it's a short flight, crew was working at a high pace to serve breakfast and was very helpful. In addition to cheese plate, there were croissants and rosinenschnecken, as well as hot bread selection. 2-3-2 business layout on the TK's 777 is not the most desirable but I like the open concept business design at the window seat. TK's 787 and 350 business layout is blocking the window on most seats. I also had the IST-ADB flight about a month back on a new MAX-9 with its new short-haul business design, and it was really comfortable and pleasant as well. Greetings from Izmir.
For the first aborted takeoff, I think it was most likely ATC or Ground Control revoking takeoff clearance due to a plane slow to exit the runway on the far end, or, a landing aircraft getting closer to the threshold than intended and it was easier to get your plane off the runway then have that plane go around. If it was anything maintenance or warning light related, I bet you would have gone back to the gate. The 2nd attempt without flaps was probably due to a sloppy run-through of the pre-takeoff checklist, probably due to the distraction of the 1st aborted takeoff. Luckily, a modern aircraft like the 777 would probably sound a bunch of automated alarms when the throttles were advanced, telling the pilots that their plane wasn't properly configured. On another note, been watching your videos for a long time and absolutely love them and you! Love your passion which is evident in every video you make.
Thanks for your insights and kind words James!
I have flown from Istanbul to Ankara with Turkish airlines a few times before. Even though I was in economy the food the service the staff and most important the seats were very good. It took 1hr 10m but that was the best flight I ever had. I am 100% satisfied and hope I will fly Turkish soon.
Two or three times, I have done a LAX-SFO trip where United swapped out the usual narrow-body with a 777-300 (Polaris configuration). No change in service, but still a lot of fun.
That's an awesome one too!
Brilliant video Dan! I'm baffled about the flaps incident, very curious to know why it occurred.
Love Turkish Airlines - Use them every time from Copenhagen, when going down to our holiday appartment in Alanya.
The first time I ever flew on a 787 was on a domestic flight between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. These Thai Airways aircraft were doing domestic runs when first introduced. That was also in business and there was just enough time to enjoy a hot light meal and to take a short nap in lie flat position. At the time the price was quite reasonable too.
This is probably a little late but the domestic CIP lounge in Istanbul (also) has its own entrance next to the main building. There's only one security check, lots of counters to help you for baggage and they give you a ride to the airplane.
Thats an amazing way to fly a 777 on a domestic flight. In Brazil, you can take a 777 from São Paulo (GRU) to Manaus (MAO) with LATAM Airlines. I took that flight once and it was great!
Great video, thanks so much Dan! Interesting departure there- I would imagine maybe the flap item on the checklist could have been missed due to the aborted takeoff before it. Thankfully that’s what we got configuration warnings for haha! The 777s have so much tech, it wouldn’t get you takeoff without proper flap config. Look forward to the next video :)
Domestic in IST has Bus straight from the lounge to all flights, Dan. Always worth going to the lounge, as you board from there.
Could be that they didn't configure the aircraft for a light load. Taxied off raised the flaps and forgot and got a caution and tried with 15 or 20 degrees of flaps. Or that they were told to test the caution system because they knew they could make up time in the air.
Interesting. We had the same pilots on the way down and they performed a regular takeoff from Istanbul - just the return that was strange despite the full flight😅
Maybe you misunderstood Dan in the video: Every seat in economy was taken. So, no light load on this flight.
Well the max zero fuel weight might be up there but i don't think the fuel amount for that flight is alot. I just think the pilots needed to test something or that it wasn't configured correctly. My last theory is that the pilots were close to their 14 hour duty day.
@@andersanden3221 , I've done this route with TK 77Ws and from experience not a chance that it is a 14 hour duty day. Most of these flights are performed IST-ADB-IST, 2 legs and the crew is done for the day.
What a great deal for business class for such a short flight and such a phenomenal price!!!👌🏾
Back in 2017 I’ve experienced a 30 minute flight in business class on a 777 between Geneva and Zurich. Surreal.
Reminds me of Nur Sultan to Almaty with Air Astana on a wide body. Full meal service with flat-screen TV for a one hour domestic!
Hey Dan. Ik heb weer genoten van je trip.
Ik vlieg graag met Turkish Airline
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯🎊🎊🎊
Coby vouched for you. So I have subscribed.
I remembered it was back in 2007, when I flew a 747 from Bangkok up to Chiang Mai for a vacation, and flew an A330 on the flight back to Bangkok.
On a different context, I have flown this exact route before on my visit to Turkey back in 2019, missed the initial flight so we got rebooked onto an A321
Beautifull!
Wow you made it out 2 days before everything shut down! I was stuck at the airport for 2 nights!
Dan skin looking flawless in the IHG intro haha!
OMG, you went to my hometown 😍
I flew a A300-200 out to Izmir and a B737-800 back. From the old Attaturk airport. We went from a bus gate too. In economy class we got a snack and a drink in avery shot flight.
Awesome video of Turkish Airlines. I would love to fly and experience Turkish Airlines when I can go to Singapore after this pandemic goes away.
THY will always be my favorite airline🥺
I love and live for you're enthusiasm and emphatic emotions towards the experience and overall feel for traveling on Turkish Airlines Wide Body Aircraft 😌🤪 #AviationGeeksAndLovers4Life 😁
Your review about Deltas soggy sandwich took me to the ground😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thai used to fly a 747 between BKK and HKT. I booked a business class ticket a few years ago (for about $100) and got a seat in First. That was very neat.
Great hotel choice! My late husband worked for them for years!
I flew that route last year from the other airport SAW on AnadoluJet. No fancy widebody on that flight.
Hey Dan, a tip for you
If you are taking a domestic flight from Istanbul to any domestic flight in Turkey
You don't have to walk to the door
Istanbul's domestic lounge already has several gates for business and miles n smiles members and there will be buses to take you directly from the gate to the plane.
keep it in mind next time
Air Canada offers wide bodies (A330,B777 and 787) on flight from Toronto to Montreal vice versa flight is block at 1 hour but usually less once airborne. They offer a pretty decent product in business class. Hope you get to try them soon !
So international travellers don't know this (Serb living in Turkey here) but there is a separate Terminal for Business Class passengers on domestic routes, also known as the CIP terminal. You check in there, go through security and immediately enter the lounge. Furthermore, you do not board the aircraft through the gate, buses take you from the lounge straight to your aircraft, so you can't miss your life, since once you check into the lounge, they know you're there.
The pilots were having a blast I’m sure!
💡Route suggestion: Albeit not a domestic route - you should totally try Singapore airlines Changi to Kuala Lumpur (approx 1hr 4 mins). The service is truly divine.
Hi Dan, back in March 2019, I went on TK IST-ADB-IST on the 777-300ER and in economy, and I must say for a 40 minute flight they gave a massive simit with cheese and tomato and juice, which is pretty decent considering most Europeans airlines don't even give you a glass of water on European flights...BA rings a bell here!!!!!
The shortest most epic domestic flight I've taken is the amazing 30 minute flight from Srinagar to Leh in India. You navigate around towering mountains throughout the flight and the approach into Leh is spectacular
yes sir
must give it a try😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I take this flight weekly. During the entire summer I flew with the 787. Now they switched back to 777s. They also use MAX8 and 321s as well.
This is a great route to try out business class for the first time (since it is so short, the prices are pretty inexpensive).
for domestic flights turkish has a private entrance with direct entrance and private security to the lounge :)
Garuda runs domestic 777 and A330 repositioning flights from Bali to Jakarta complete with full business class service! A 1 hour 30 minute flight that's both epic and goes to two destinations great for vacationing!
Great video, congrats. There is another European domestic route in which you sometimes get to fly a wide body plane....Madrid to Canary Islands (Tenerife or Las Palmas).
Hello Dan , what’s the name of the hotel in Izmir ? I can’t find it
I live in Detroit, Michigan, USA. On August 16, 1987, Flight NW 255 (NorthWest Airlines) crashed on take-off from Detroit. Killing 154 people. All passengers and crew were killed, except for a beautiful little girl. She survived sitting on her mother's lap. Today, she is a grown woman.However, she was raised by extended family because her parents were killed in the crash.
I watched in horror when you pointed out the flaps were not in the proper take-off mode. This, along with pilot error is what caused the crash of NW255. Apparently, during the pre-flight checklist the pilot and first officer became distracted. When they resumed the checklist, they overlooked the flap adjustment.. They never adjusted the flaps and slats. Therefore, the flaps were in the incorrect position. Which is what brought this flight down during take-off.
Since then, I always watch the wing for the position of the flaps on take-off and landing.
I don't think there is anything that I could do if the flaps were in an incorrect position but I like to think I could.
Just like you.
Thai Airways 747 First Class on BKK-HKT was quite nice (you only needed a Business ticket for First Class seats)
Amazing 👏 video 📹
Love it
Dan flaps behind the wing slats in front of the wing
3-4 years ago, I'd ride on the ANA 777 between Tokyo-Narita and Osaka-Itami on occasion. You could sit in the business class seats for economy price but there was no business class service.
What was the name of the hotel in Izmir you mentioned in the video?
Once i had to travel for university research from Tehran to Kerman, i didn’t know when i booked tickets from Mahan Airlines and to my suprize, the plane for a one hour domestic flight was… The last classic 747 still on servis the 747-300 EP-MNE it was an extremely exciting experience for me both from plane itself and wonderful service during flight.
Not domestic but a 45 minute flight from Colombo to Chennai in BC on Sri Lankan airlines. Pretty good!
Hello Dan!! Lots of love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳!!!
