GBCRIMINAL! My girlfriend was refused boarding at the airport in Phuket because "she did not have a return ticket with Turkish Airlines". This was certainly not a reason to refuse boarding but we decided to book a return anyway just to avoid ruining our travel plans. Just prior to completing the transaction we were told that our seat had been given to another passenger. This was at the airport 1hr 10 mins before flight departure. They had no right to refuse boarding and when we did as they said they moved the goal posts yet again. I suspect the flight was over booked and they were looking for reasons to reject passengers. To make matters worse they are standing behind there story and have not refunded the ticket - despite the ground staff saying that we could get a refund by contacting customer service. At best this is just awful customer service and worst it is a criminal offence. I personally will not be flying Turkish Airlines again and strongly urge other would be clients to look elsewhere. What a shame since I used to enjoy flying with this airline.

GBMy entires families baggage was lost… My entire family’s baggage was lost during a transfer and Turkish Airlines cheated on my compensation claim! We were left in Malaga with zero luggage and the weather conditions were terrible. Nobody contacted us to tell us when cases would arrive. We Called their customer service who told us to go and replace essential items and that there was no limit on compensation - just to be sensible. We did exactly that and then filled out arduous claim process/form. They then paid only 30% of claim stating I agreed to a lower figure. Nonsense. Disgraceful and unfair treatment by an airline who claim they are high quality. Absolutely terrible experience for whole family, I have not used airline since and travelled further and longer to use other airlines! I have written to CEO and no reply yet, which says everything!!! I will start legal process soon.

GBDon't waste your money with this… Don't waste your money with this Airline! I have now had two consecutive trips from Riyadh to Milan Bergamo (via Turkey) cancelled at short notice. I will NEVER waste my money with this company again. On both occasions (9th Feb and then 5th April 2024) I have had to spend significant amounts of money to fly with other airlines at the last minute. The only option for compensation is a refund of the original ticket and if you ate something in the airport this might be covered. I have spent literally hours on the phone to their customer services and inputting evidence of my out of pocket expenses caused by Turkish Airlines "Operational difficulties" onto their web platform - only to be told time and again by the same standard email response that my claim cannot be refunded. @Turkish Airlines. DONT OFFER FLIGHTS YOU CANNOT RUN! SIMPLE. Utterly useless company and awful customer service.

GBThis company seems to like lying to… This company seems to like lying to avoid accountability. It's shameful and the fact that few days ago they were saying one thing, and now to avoid refunds they're saying another
