Turkish Airlines: flies well in class 'business'

Less than a month ago I returned from Japan. It was, quite intense but very short trip, visiting the best of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and I am preparing a post with directions that I liked. But before that, and because of the interest raised by some publications in my social networks, I would like to tell you about my experience in a long-haul flight of Turkish Airlines flying into your busines s class. Thank airline to test the upgrade enjoy and fall in love with its luxurious proposal when flying (although tiny task now when you have to return to the harsh reality of the economy class on long-haul flights).
I flew on routes two different models of aircraft, an Airbus A321 in flight Barcelona-Istanbul and A330 sections in Istanbul-Tokyo, Osaka and Istanbul surprisingly, also in Istanbul-Barcelona. If you have flown with this airline, you know that one of its strengths is its catering, Turkish DO & CO, and this is extended to the economy class, which have also flown in it and we must recognize that eat well.
I love to be greeted with fresh orange juice and some Turkish specialties as pica pica, and yes, this also happens in both classes. And I love it even more, the figure of the chef on board (its renowned 'Flying Chef') offered in the business; a completely uniformed notes you cook the dishes you want lunch or dinner-and the kind of cooking-as the gastronomic for that flight. It's like having dinner at a nice restaurant on the ground, but at 30,000 feet (and to put you "candles" that accompany the menu). A success in the differentiation strategy of the airline.
Here some pictures of my experience. Curious configuration of the A330 business because despite being the same model airplane, I tried three different. The best? The first Istanbul-Tokyo, which was not the most modern, but the one that gave me feeling of space. For most passengers more often you like the design of the third (Istanbul-Barcelona), because it provides more sense of privacy and is like a small room -saving the distance, of course. To highlight the excellent service (which costs little smile and how much is appreciated) and the cuisine. The Turks love the cheese and serve you a selection at every meal, though it be in heaven! Also their selection of wines and champagne, of course, and extensive offer in-flight entertainment, in a 12-hour flight is appreciated, but honestly, with a folding bed 180 saw few movies. Still, everything is always great toquetearlo.
On the amenities in the first leg of the vanity was Ferrari (mono, but very masculine) with all kinds of products, from the usual as comb or toothbrush to perfume, towels, socks, mask ... And around the corner, one of Cerruti, more petite and feminine.
