The flight from Cologne to Istanbul offers a fast connection between the cities and a wide range of flight options. Travellers have the opportunity to explore the fascinating city. However, the cost of air tickets could be high, there is a risk of flight delays and one should consider the environmental impact of flying. In the end, I am relatively satisfied with the flight and would recommend it to anyone.

My flight from Cologne to Istanbul offered a mixed experience, with various pros and cons. On the positive side, I would like to highlight the exceptional punctuality of the flight. This contributed to my journey running smoothly and I was able to keep to my schedule without any problems. Likewise, the seats on board were extremely comfortable and offered enough space to enjoy the flight in pleasant comfort. Another plus point was the food, which was tastefully prepared. Unfortunately, there was an unfortunate delay at baggage claim when landing in Istanbul. Furthermore, there was no wifi on the plane. Finally, the flight was marred by the behaviour of some staff, who were not particularly friendly. Overall, I am happy with the flight and would recommend it to anyone.

The flight was relatively pleasant. Unfortunately, there was no free wifi or power sockets. The seats were very comfortable. The food was also very good, but unfortunately the flight was noisy, the staff was very friendly and always gave us the information in time and there was even a bag with a sandwich, juice packets and a small cake. The toilets were clean and the plane was hygienic too. We didn't have to change planes and our flight was also relatively on time. It was very value for money and I would fly the same flight again. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I took the flight from Cologne to Istanbul with my wife. It was our first flight with Turkish Airline. I must say that even at the beginning, the ground staff at the airport were very friendly. Check-in went smoothly. The aircraft fleet makes a very good, well-maintained and, above all, safe impression. Everything went smoothly. The flight was very quiet. The staff during the flight also always tried to make the flight as pleasant as possible for us. I will continue to fly with Turkish Airlines.

We flew with Turkish Airlines from Cologne, Bonn to Istanbul. On our trip to Egypt, we had to make a stopover there. The flight time is about three hours. The flights are usually not so turbulent because the weather is always nice in Turkey. There was plenty of food to buy on board. Water was free. The price-performance ratio was very good.
