Re: Turkmenistan Airlines
Might be a bit late but anyway - flown on them a few times, DME-ASB, ASB-AUH and LHR-ASB, mostly C class. Relatively new aircraft but getting a bit tatty. Fairly basic service, meal was edible but nothing special, crew going through the motions but no real enthusiasm. My main memory is that the IFE is Russian MTV pop videos, but no headphones - it is played directly in the cabin, so you have to listen to it!
Good luck.
