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.

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.

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!

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€...

The worst airlines ever The worst airlines ever - total scam, and phishing They said business calss is refundable - when I tried to refund, they refused to give the money back Their customer support is useless, they keep transferring me from one agent to another - and each agent said different things - all they were lies, and no help provided
