Advantages: Helpful, smiley aircrew

Disadvantages: Small, uncomfortable seats on the Guzelyurt

You will be delighted to hear after the 2004 review that KTHY have improved somewhat. The flight out of Glasgow in early September might have been on time if the Glasgow T2 baggage conveyor worked!

The plane out, the Girne (737-800) was fine, clean and the cabin crew smiley, polite and well turned out. The food was odd but edible, the layover in Antalya as expected and bearable especially with the doors open, possibly not otherwise.

Erjan left Glasgow in the shade in regard to efficiency - I am a disabled person - I could have walked off the flight but got the full treatment in the shape of the "air lift thing", a chair with escort to push and whizzed through passport control - with a smile!

The flight back was a bit worse though - avoid the 737 called Guzelyurt like the plague - smallest seats I've ever sat in in my life: I couldn't get comfortable and I am not a large person; the previously complained issue about the bar in the back of the seat and a bit too warm.

Again though, and despite the fact it ws the middle of the night, the cabin crew were nice (almost too chirpy!) and helpful if you needed drinks etc.

It would be good if there were competition to up the ante but I can't see it happening. Perhaps the lure of tourist dosh is helping to get the improvement wagon rolling.

Summary: Par for the course these days
