Again onboard TCJVO, even with the repaired engine cowling on the right side I saw after mistakenly sitting in 4F back in August. And I am really pissed off. Another disappointing Video from the 737800, but with a weird, very heavily vibrating taxiing and takeoff as well as a very slow ascent.

As you know and I wrote in my channel info, I was expecting to fly a 737 MAX 8 but Turkish Airlines disappointed us again. I also made sure to get it during booking and until 3 hours before the flight, THY appeared to finally send me back to Austria on a MAX. Before the flight at around 5am, they even projected the exact aircraft we would be flying on to Salzburg as TCLCU but soon after checking in, after receiving a message from the THY App on my iPhone that I had to board the Aircraft at Gate A1F, amid being Gate A5B according to the IGA App where I also traced TCLCU by Flightradar24 in its recent flight, I knew they are going to haul the MAX 8 again to somewhere in Africa. Though this one went to Copenhagen, the chain of reassignments of the aircraft led to most of the 737 MAX 8 being in Africa, as usual.

They also did this in August '23 when I had to swap this beauty for a rubbish A320 Business Class, so I changed it to August 5 to the A321neo, registered as TCLTG.
