Turkish Airlines Economy Food

I’ve flown Turkish Airlines in Economy many times, and it still has some of the best Economy meals around. On a flight from London Heathrow to Istanbul in February 2026 there were three mains to choose from (chicken, lasagne or beef kofta), and Turkish has recently added hot towels in Economy too. From Paris to Istanbul, a 2 hour 35 minute flight, I had beef kofte with rice and vegetables, peas in yoghurt sauce and the signature chocolate mousse, and on the long flight on to Singapore, chicken with potato mash, hummus and a fresh salad, then scrambled eggs, cheese and olives for breakfast before landing.

On a 2024 trip from Melbourne to Singapore, dinner was excellent, with pre-cut chicken, lovely hummus, coleslaw and chocolate cake, but the second service was cold calzones that should have been heated, and galley snacks were limited. Even the 1 hour 10 minute hop from Istanbul to Athens came with a chicken salad, a cheese and tomato roll and chocolate mousse, a great meal for such a short flight. Real cutlery on most flights is a bonus.

Business Class

In Business, meals vary with flight length and departure time, from a light breakfast on short flights to multi-course dining on long-haul routes, with menus that change regularly. On select long-haul flights, Flying Chefs prepare and serve meals on board, and intercontinental Business passengers may be offered The Oldest Bread, made from Einkorn and Emmer wheat, two of Anatolia’s oldest grains. Before you fly, you can browse your Business menu on turkishairlines.com.

Special Meals

Turkish Airlines offers special meals for babies and children and for health and religious needs on international flights. Request one at least 24 hours before your flight on the website, in the app or through the call centre. Since all meals are already prepared in line with Islamic dietary laws, you don’t need to order a separate Muslim meal.
