After spending nearly two weeks traveling around Ukraine, my trip was nearly at an end. Come with me as I travel from Odessa to Istanbul and eat Turkish food for 24 hours in Turkish Airlines Business Class as I make my way back home to Miami!
My travel journey began at the IST Airport in Istanbul. It had been a wild couple of weeks. I had started my two-week trip in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv and then moved on to Lviv, followed by the gorgeous Transcarpathia region. From there, I flew to Odessa on the Black Sea, and after a one-hour flight, I was in Istanbul, Turkey!

While I was at the Business Class lounge in IST, I enjoyed some delicious kofta (Turkish meatballs) and pide (a Turkish flatbread that’s somewhat similar to pizza). They were delicious!
Then, I had some manti, which is similar to ravioli. It had a yogurt sauce on top, and I topped it with lots of chili powder and chili oil.
Thankfully, Turkish Airways had upgraded me to Business Class, which is always the best. I travel with them a lot, and they’re actually one of the carriers I fly with the most.
After finishing my manti, I headed to my flight to Miami after three different security checkpoints. Everyone onboard was really friendly. I was riding in a 787-900, and it would be a roughly 13-hour flight. It had a 1-2-1 configuration.
Luckily, my seat (6G) was a flat-lay bed with a charging station, a mirror, and a remote control. You can stretch out and just watch movies!
I ordered some Turkish-style meatballs. I started with some appetizers, which included a seafood assortment. It included smoked salmon, shrimp, and white fish. The smoked salmon was delicious, as was the cocktail shrimp on a tomato.
The white fish was either cod of haddock, and was fantastic. I also had some parmesan cheese, a small salad with eggplant, and multigrain bread.
Then, my entrée arrived. The kofta was so flavorful and spicy. It tasted different from the kofta you get in the Balkans due to the Ottoman influence. Then, for dessert, I had a doughy, chocolate-covered dessert called a profiterole.
For the next six or seven hours, I relaxed and slept. For dinner, we had more Turkish food, including dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), bulgur pilaf, cheese, Kuru Fasulye (white beans in tomato sauce), and a cucumber salad.
The best thing about Turkish Airways’ Business Class is that it gets you to your destination refreshed. It’s so easy to kick back and relax. Turkish Airways travels to roughly 300 destinations in 120 countries, so I highly recommend them!
