AVOID THIS AIRLINE AVOID THIS AIRLINE! Me and my partner have been waiting to receive our compensation which we're owed under EU 261 law (now UK 261) after we missed our connecting flight (due to 'technical errors' on our first Turkish Airlines flight) and were subsequently put on two additional flights with a different airline and arrived at our destination 8 and a half hours late. This took place 3 MONTHS AGO and Turkish Airlines have still not paid us the money that they (eventually) acknowledged that they owe us and are now completely ignoring our feedback messages regarding this. This is clearly not an acceptable way for an airline to act and I would strongly advise anyone from ever flying with Turkish Airlines. We are now looking into taking Turkish Airlines to court with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) - I advise anyone else experiencing the same thing to also do this as they should not be allowed to get away with this!

The worst airlines in the world ever The worst airlines in the world ever, they are always late and when you travel transient with them, most of the time you will miss your next flight, and they don't execuse. Also they will give you another ticket for the next flight which will be after your missed one by at least 12 hours. Unresponsible conpany and I do not recommend it for anyone.

CRIMINAL! 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.

This is a big no This is a big no! We flew with them to Thailand. 10hr flight and space in seat like in ryanair. Today I have flight back. Yesterday I've made sure we seat at the window and aisle. Today I've checked in to discover I do not have those seats!!! I seat in the middle!!! Joke, joke. Never again. Emirates or Qatar are much better and they do same routes. For sure have more space too. Before booking imagine seating in ryanair for your long flight as that's exactly turkish airline.

Rip-offs and cheats - do not book with them This company is a complete disgrace - do not travel with them under any circumstances! I paid £256 for seats for my family to be together over 4 flights. The day before my flight when I came to check-in they had all been removed. Their call centre are useless and could do nothing - and I spent £40 on a premium phone line for the pleasure of no service at all! They are now passing me from pillar to post and refusing to refund my money. They've offered me 55 euros if I drive 35 miles to get it! I saw people losing their upgrade and being refused boarding as the plane was overbooked at Istanbul also, so if you have a flight already booked with them ensure you get to the gate early! And don't pay for an upgrade at the airport as they were refusing them and moving people back into standard at the gate. If you don't have a flight booked with them then please don't, it's not worth it, even if they are cheap. They are a monstrous organisation that doesn't care about customers at all. I will be complaining to the CAA and ATOL and would suggest others do too
