Extra charge for luggage
Belgrade - IstanbulEurope
I bought my Turkish airlines tickets on Booking.com with luggage included but at the registration they said I don’t have any paid bag. I called to Booking.com support and they had to cancel my luggage and refund 22 euros. I had to pay for luggage $100 instead 22 euros in Airport. So this is how Turkish Airlines charges more price to their customers. If you have a choice never use Turkish Airlines.

Handluggage could be checked in WITHOUT no reason!
Hamburg - NicosiaEurope
We had to check our hand luggage because the Hamburg employees of Turkish Airlines forced us to do so! The hand luggage met the dimensions 100%! And the passengers after us had two or three pieces of hand luggage that they were allowed to take on board!! The hand luggage arrived completely scratched, and we had to carry the contents of our hand luggage by hand for over seven hours!! And the other passengers had up to three!!! pieces of hand luggage. It's outrageous. That was the last flight with Turkish Airlines!!

Cancellation time 👎🏻
Washington DC - AlexandriaInternational
They wait until last minute and then sent you message saying your flight was cancelled for operational reasons. This is not the first time that they canceled the flight, I paid extra money for short layover and then they canceled the trip. 2/10 👎🏻👎🏻

Nope. Never again
Istanbul - MunichEurope
I have no idea what's happened to this airline. I'd had positive experiences before. This time, they delayed my flight twice, for over 24 hours, and get this: ABSOLUTELY NO COMPENSATION. because "it wasn't their fault". What?! Who gets to decide whose fault it was for the delay? They do lol What a joke. I had to book an extra hotel night, pay for food for the lost time (not even a food voucher), I missed 2 business meetings. They didn't care even after spending hours on the phone, and filling out "feedback forms". I even went to 2 Turkish airlines offices and they kicked me out saying I have to use the "feed back form". This was an exhausting experience and I will not be flying Turkish airlines in the foreseeable future.

Just don’t use this airline. You’re saving on the ticket but paying with your time and peace of mind.
