Turkish Airlines has been my go to for the past year given their vast network, great award rates,<\/a> and onboard food<\/a>. Even if they have some technical shortfalls when it comes to booking<\/a>, I still find myself going back to it.<\/p>

I’ve flown multiple times mainly on long haul routes including from Newark to Istanbul,<\/a> Nevsehir to Istanbul,<\/a> and many more. Turkish Airlines is also apart of the Star Alliance Network<\/a>, extending benefits to members or when you are flying on a partner like Lufthansa from Istanbul to Frankfurt<\/a>.<\/p>

This was one of the few times I flew a short haul flight from Istanbul to Bodrum.<\/p>

I booked this flight a few months in advance and I noticed the business class price was not much more than economy. Given it was prime summer season and it was only a 45 minute flight I decided to still spring to see what business class is like on a smaller plane to Bodrum.<\/p>

Turkish operates a number of flights each day to Bodrum, even a 777 with lie flat beds, but the majority are on a A321 that appears recently retrofitted.<\/p>

Even though it’s a short domestic flight I still got access to the Turkish Business Lounge at IST airport<\/a>, which is always a great way to start a trip.<\/p>
