We flew LATAM, an old acquaintance of ours, and luckily we had bought our tickets before the new ANAC resolution on baggage and fares, otherwise we would have been screwed...lol Don't forget this new detail if you're like me.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6332\" src=\"http:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Como-\u00e9-voar-com-a-Turkish-Airlines-Cris-Pelo-Mundo-voo-com-crian\u00e7a-Kit-infantil-de-voo-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"What it&#039;s like to fly with Turkish Airlines - Cris Pelo Mundo flight with child Children&#039;s flight kit (3)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/p>\n<p>We arrived in S\u00e3o Paulo at 10:40 p.m. and our flight was scheduled to take off at 3 a.m.! We took our time and as soon as check-in opened we rushed to the line to find a good seat on the plane. Even though we had booked seats, one thing I learned is that this changes at the last minute and seats aren't always held until check-in.<\/p>\n<p>At the counter, the airline representative was very attentive and immediately directed us to the priority line. We checked our bags and went to the departure lounge, everything was very quick and practical, no stress.<\/p>\n<p>I was about to find out what it was like to fly with Turkish and the first impression had already exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">The adventure has begun and children are very welcome<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>They called our flight! Now it's for real, we stepped onto the huge Boeing 777 and were VERY warmly welcomed with big smiles. As soon as we were settled in, the flight attendant brought us a beautiful teddy bear for Emmanuel. Wow!<\/p>\n<p>- Look how cool! A new friend to fly with you<\/p>\n<p>I was impressed right from the start, as normally he doesn't even get a magazine, let alone a themed stuffed animal.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6327\" src=\"http:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Como-\u00e9-voar-com-a-Turkish-Airlines-Cris-Pelo-Mundo-voo-com-crian\u00e7a-Kit-infantil-de-voo-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"What it&#039;s like to fly with Turkish Airlines - Cris Pelo Mundo flight with child Children&#039;s flight kit (14)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/p>\n<p>We finished getting ready and when I went to put the headphones on the little one to watch TV, tcharam! There was another surprise: a whole bag with children's headphones, toothbrushes, shoes, socks and a little magazine. It's very good for the little ones to feel loved, the flight certainly flows much better and we've started off on the right foot.<\/p>\n<p>The surprises were just beginning, and we still had a lot to discover about flying with Turkish. There were 4 flights in total, S\u00e3o Paulo - Istanbul and Istanbul x Bangkok and the reverse on the way back. On each flight Emmanuel received a different surprise, which was the joy of the trip. He loves airplanes and was very happy with his new toys.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6328\" src=\"http:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Como-\u00e9-voar-com-a-Turkish-Airlines-Cris-Pelo-Mundo-voo-com-crian\u00e7a-Kit-infantil-de-voo-10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"What it&#039;s like to fly with Turkish Airlines - Cris Pelo Mundo flight with child Children&#039;s flight kit (14)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/p>\n<p>I loved having new things to entertain him and he loved the presents! It would be so nice if all airlines welcomed children like this. To give you an idea, the flights were so enjoyable that on the way back, after 35 hours between flights and airports, Emmanuel turned to me and asked happily if we were going to get on another plane.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6329\" src=\"http:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Como-\u00e9-voar-com-a-Turkish-Airlines-Cris-Pelo-Mundo-voo-com-crian\u00e7a-Kit-infantil-de-voo-7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"What it&#039;s like to fly with Turkish Airlines - Cris Pelo Mundo flight with child Children&#039;s flight kit (14)\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/p>\n<p>Of course, some tips for traveling with children by plane have helped and you can read them all here. <a href=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/10-dicas-para-voar-aviao-com-crianca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Breakfast<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>I was impressed by the quality of the products served on board, even though I was in economy class, there were no aluminum plates or plastic cutlery. All meals came with bread and water.<br \/>\nAt breakfast we had the opportunity to try the scrambled eggs with toast and tomatoes, along with cheese and salad. We also tasted a Turkish sweet, which was very tasty and looked like porridge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6326\" src=\"http:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Como-\u00e9-voar-com-a-Turkish-Airlines-Cris-Pelo-Mundo-voo-com-crian\u00e7a-Kit-infantil-de-voo-19-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"What it&#039;s like to fly with Turkish Airlines - Cris Pelo Mundo flight with child Children&#039;s flight kit (14)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><br \/>\nAs for the little one, special children's meals were requested at the time of booking and at the first breakfast he was given an omelette with chips and fruit salad, it was delicious, I ended up swapping it with him, big eye mom...lol<br \/>\nIt also came with a Turkish sweet that was tasty but different from his.<br \/>\nAhhh, he also got a chocolate drink with a pet face and everything, I thought it was super cute. All in plates that imitate porcelain and metal cutlery.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Lunch and dinner<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>For the rest of the meals, there were always three options with a very elaborate menu.<br \/>\nI loved every dish I tried, from the meat to the noodles.<br \/>\nA delight, I even felt like I was in a category above economy.<br \/>\nAll accompanied by butter, pepper and salt, along with bread.<br \/>\nSalad was also present at every meal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6325\" src=\"http:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Como-\u00e9-voar-com-a-Turkish-Airlines-Cris-Pelo-Mundo-voo-com-crian\u00e7a-Kit-infantil-de-voo-20-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"What it&#039;s like to fly with Turkish Airlines - Cris Pelo Mundo flight with child Children&#039;s flight kit (14)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/p>\n<p>We also tried wine and raki, a traditional Turkish drink.<br \/>\nOur little one was always surprised by the kids' menu and his favorite dish of all the flights was the pasta bolognese.<\/p>\n<p>He ate his ass off!<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Snacks<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>At any time you can go to the back of the aircraft and ask for a snack.<br \/>\nThere are delicious sandwiches and drinks that can be enjoyed throughout the flight.<br \/>\nWe love this treat! Sometimes you get hungry and have to wait until your next meal.<br \/>\nThis makes it much easier, especially on flights of a little over 12 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6324\" src=\"http:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Como-\u00e9-voar-com-a-Turkish-Airlines-Cris-Pelo-Mundo-voo-com-crian\u00e7a-Kit-infantil-de-voo-1.jpg\" alt=\"- Cris Around the World\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><br \/>\nAhhh, I found the Turkish white wine option delicious, it accompanied most of my meals.<br \/>\nAs for the Raki, I thought it was too strong!

We had no choice but to fly with a stranger next to us. Igor was squeezed in during the 10-hour flight between Istanbul and Bangkok on both legs. Emmanuel and I didn't lack space, as he's tiny and I'm not the biggest...lol<\/p>\n<p>Even so, I found it much more uncomfortable and the flight seemed much longer!<\/p>\n<p>Our little one managed to stay calm and comfortable on all the journeys, we put him in the middle seat with his head on one and his feet on the other.<br \/>\nI slept soundly throughout the flight.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Entertainment<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>I found a good variety of movies, series and children's content.<br \/>\nI also liked the fact that there were games to keep the children entertained!
