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.

Took money for seats but failed to book seats. Booked long haul.flight and selected seats. Full amount deducted from credit card. But email confirmation and booking details in app claim no seats booked and only basic fare paid. Now I will have to spend ages with their call centre helping Turkish airlines to domtheir job..checkmyour booking carefully. Ryanair can do this without a problem. Clearly Turkish couldn't be bother as long as they can take.your money. Disrespectful shamnles. Check your booking carefully.

Our check-in suitcase was severely… Our check-in suitcase was severely damaged when we got it back. Turkish Airlines makes it next to impossible to file a complaint. This is not okay – big suitcases are expensive and we can't use it anymore now - basically lost 120€...

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.

Avoid - Avoid - horrendous and dishonest customer service Avoid - horrendous and dishonest customer service. Before booking my flights, a Turkish Airlines customer service representative provided crucial information that was incorrect. Based on the information we were provided, we booked flights worth £1300 that aren't suitable. I've contacted their customer service multiple times via phone and email in an attempt to resolve this situation and they've been useless, seemingly incapable of understanding the situation and replying with stock responses that show they haven't read or understood my emails. I've provided a straightforward solution for them to resolve this situation many times now but they have never addressed this directly. Turkish Airlines certainly have some cheap connecting flights but with such poor and misleading customer service you have to ask yourself if it's worth it? My advice is that it isn't - book with a reuptable airline that will provide accurate and honest information prior to commiting to expensive and non-refundable flights.
