ATOur 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€...

GBThis 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.

GBTook 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.

GBWorst airlines ever. Bought tickets from them back in March from London to Antalya, 5 days later they changed both flights to different times/dates which made me waste more money on buses and trains.. I contacted the agency (on top of that costed me around 5£ for a 5 minute call) to ask for a refund since the times were very inconvenient for me ( I was given the option to change the time but it would only lead me to Istanbul) , they reassured that it was going to be issued by the airlines, which would take up to 10-15 business days. I waited for over a month a half and no response. I sent them an email, explained the whole situation again. 2 days later I got told I wasn’t getting any refund! I spent over 200+£ for nothing! I had to rearrange my entire travel itinerary and incur additional expenses due to their incompetence. This is outrageous. I will make sure to avoid booking with them in the future.

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.
