Comfort class service, located between economy and business class, offers the convenience of business class and the affordability of economy. A personal entertainment system, USB ports, and reclining seats with footrests makes comfort class a relaxing but economical way to enjoy your flight.

Economy class offers its guests in-flight entertainment and fine dining. Even though you are in economy, your flight is still top-notch, as Turkish Airlines has been voted the World’s Best Economy Class Onboard Service 2010 from Skytrax World Airline Awards.
