The last time I flew on a Turkish airline it caught on fire out over the Mediterranean. The Muslims all prostrated themselves on the floor in prayer which probably saved some of them from asphyxiation but also prevented the stewards from serving cocktails to those of us more interested in getting real drunk real fast. The crew couldn't lower the oxygen mask with the cabin on fire.

Other than that, it was a good flight and I would recommend the airline to anyone seeking adventure.

I flew Turkish Air one-way from Istanbul to Heathrow in the 80's - the first and only time I have flown on an L-1011. My flight was uneventful - it was so empty alot of people had a row to themselves. My flight could have used some excitement.
