We’re in Istanbul Airport waiting for connecting flight to Dubai.

Group consensus seems to be the all night flight went extremely smooth for such a thing.

Flight takeoff was delayed about an hour late because  computers were down at Turkish Airlines at JFK.

One of our party, Sue D., says American airlines could learn a lot from the way  Turkish Airlines ran the flight. Air attendants friendly, little gift bags, dinner and breakfast well prepared. Free drinks, including wine and mixed drinks.
