Video: Special Valentine Delivery on Turkish Cargo A330F

I traveled on a Turkish Cargo A330-200 cargo flight from Istanbul to London Stansted and back. Inside the cargo plane were 64,000 kgs of fresh flowers for Valentine's Day delivery. The flower came from Kenya via Istanbul to the UK. The flight provided some great insight on how to transport perishable cargo and how the cargo operation work. On the flight deck, captain Ferihan took charge of a low visibility takeoff as the weather was extremely foggy. We have some turbulence during the climb out of bad weather. I had a tour inside the Turkish A330F with crew rest and galley. It is very different when compared to a passenger plane. Breakfast was served during the flight.
