Turkish Airlines Review

Planes I boarded:  1997, 0623, 0624 & 1982 

Watch my journey!

I would like to start by saying, I am petrified of flying and I am a massive food snob! So when I had to fly to Africa this summer I was dreading it because I would have to spend at least 16 hours in the air (there and back) and at some point, I would get hungry and have to eat the food on the plane.

As you can imagine, when boarding my flight to Istanbul my expectations were at an all time low. Yet to my pleasant surprise, I could not flaw my whole entire journey (apart from the fact that they put too much salt in the rice). The cabin crew were friendly, polite, approachable and professional on all 4 flights that I boarded this summer with Turkish Airlines. As soon as we were full airborne the cabin crew came round and gave us all Turkish Delight which I thought was a nice touch, seen as we were flying with Turkish Airlines. Then they came out with menus and soon after that brought us our 3 course meal.

On previous flights (not with Turkish Airlines), the food was repulsive and cardboard like, but on Turkish Airlines it was exceptional, honestly, if I could order the same again in a restaurant on land, I totally would. Even just thinking about it now, makes my mouth water. After food (which came with alcoholic and non-alcohol beverages), we were offered more drinks. Even on the longer flights, they gave us a sandwich to take away with us! All of this is included in the price of this ticket.

To fly from London to Abuja at the time, Turkish Airlines was the cheapest option and although I have never flown with them before, I will be doing so again.  When I checked in, the woman said that they usually only give large men the exit door seat as it has the most room, but seen as I was so polite, she gave me the seat and I had so much leg group (which was a lovely blessing because my legs are so long).

For entertainment, each person had a screen which had games, up to date films, audios, a map to see where we were, etc. It was fab!

I can see why Turkish Airlines were voted Europe's Best Airline (2015). My biggest fear is when I can really feel the airplane shaking as it goes through clouds and different weather conditions (turbulence), but I could barely feel it, I felt safe.. unlike the time when I flew with Ryanair.

Overall, I would highly recommend Turkish Airlines!

Today I want to talk about my new favourite book; I love it that much that I have read it four times within the space of a month. If I could only pick one novel that was compulsory for all of mankind to read, it would be this book. Every time I read this book, I learn something more - it challenges another aspect of my life.

If every girl read this book, the world would be a different place, if every guy read this book, the world could be an incredible place.

I am not going to say much more than that about this book, simply because I do not want to give anything at all away. I am such a literature snob and critic but I promise you this book will change your life if you would let it!

This book is not age or gender specific, but I must warn you that people have broken up with their partner because of this book; because they do not want to settle for less than complete happiness - they are looking for something more, something real.

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting the author of this book and filmed our discussion about her book so do check it out!

Call it arrogant but I love myself.

When people ask me: “Do you love yourself?” I’ve stopped saying: “Of course not. I’m not arrogant”, because I do love myself, I’ve learnt to love myself.
The amount of times I here people say “why don’t they love me” is uncountable. We expect people to love us when we don’t love ourselves. If you can’t see a reason to love yourself then why should you expect someone to see reasons to love you.
Learn to love yourself because, 1. You’ll be happier 2. You’ll stop letting people treat you like crap because you do deserve better and 3. You are worth loving.
