Flight was great, I was able to sit down, price performance was infinitely good, one of the best prices I've ever had. The punctuality of the flight was also very good and the toilet hygiene was actually very good. The wifi was a bit expensive, but you can overlook that anyway 5 out of 5 stars on the flight

In my opinion, my journey from Madrid to Istanbul was okay. The hygiene conditions on board were initially excellent. The toilets and seats were neat and clean. The seats were also comfortable and the noise level was reasonable. However, I did not arrive in Istanbul on time and the wifi connection was not stable. The connection was constantly interrupted. Therefore, the journey was good, but aspects such as punctuality or the wifi connection are important to me.

My journey from Madrid to Istanbul was excellent. The price was reasonable and within budget. Good attention was paid to hygiene, as the toilets and seats were well maintained and clean. The seats were also extremely comfortable and were equipped with blankets and cushions. However, it was very loud on board and the volume was unfortunately not optimised. Overall, I am still very happy with the journey!
