It's a bit late now, I've already booked and paid for it. I'll be sure to post a little report about my experience.
There are only 2 things I require from an airline. a) it gets me to the right destination, hopefully at the same time as my luggage; and b) they're not mean with the red wine. I'm not a very demanding customer.

Turkish Airlines are the only one who have ever offered me a free upgrade to business class - so I think they're wonderful!
I flew from Istanbul to Newark New Jersey non stop with Turkish.....no complaints.

I guess that as with most airlines, it's down to circumstances on the day. They get reasonable reviews on airlinequality. As I said before, it's not the actual flights I'm concerned about, but the transit time in Istanbul. Having spoken to the airline, I'm somewhat reassured. Jeez. I wish I could stop worrying about this stuff.
