Turkish Airlines unveils new business class, free fleetwide Wi-Fi
Turkish Airlines is making some big upgrades to the passenger experience.
It starts with an all-new flagship business-class product that will debut onboard the Boeing 777-300ER next year. The new product was unveiled on Monday at the Farnborough International Airshow in Hampshire, U.K.
Turkish's new product will be arranged in an industry-standard 1-2-1 configuration with direct aisle access for all passengers. Each suite will also feature sliding doors, a first for Turkish Airlines. Seats measure 23 inches wide and offer increased footwell space.
Other high-end touches include marble-style side tables with a rose gold finish and lighter and warmer colors throughout the cabin.
In terms of connectivity, each suite will boast universal AC outlets, USB-C charging ports, a Qi wireless charging pad, noise-canceling headphones and a high-definition 22-inch entertainment screen.
When to go: These are the best times to buy an international flight
Aviation enthusiasts will love that all window seats will offer full visibility out the windows. This is something that's unfortunately missing on the airline's Boeing 787 Dreamliners, where some of the window seats don't actually have views from the window.
The airline developed the seats internally with its TCI Aircraft Interiors subsidiary to fully customize the product rather than simply ordering an off-the-shelf seat that many other airlines use.
Turkish will first install these new seats on its Boeing 777-300ER fleet. These jets currently feature an outdated forward-facing 2-3-2 configuration in business class, so travelers will likely be thrilled by this retrofit project, which is scheduled to start next year.
All of the airline's upcoming Airbus A350 deliveries will also feature this new product as they roll off the production line.
The new Turkish product looks like it'll offer an industry-leading experience. With Turkish's stellar catering, massive lounge in Istanbul and thoughtful amenities, this will be a great way to fly, especially for those looking to redeem Star Alliance miles.
In addition to the new business-class product, Turkish announced on Monday that it will offer free fleetwide Wi-Fi beginning late next year. The airline hasn't announced more details beyond this, but it said it's still looking for a company to provide the internet and connectivity service across its fleet.
Turkish said that Wi-Fi will be "free, unlimited, uninterrupted and offer fast connectivity." Perhaps the airline will team up with Starlink or Viasat to make good on this promise, as those are two of the most reliable and speediest providers in the market right now.
Turkish will become one of a handful of airlines offering free fleetwide Wi-Fi. In the U.S., Delta and JetBlue offer this amenity, and internationally, Turkish will be among the first to offer unlimited internet to every passenger.
