I Paid Extra Due to Turkish Airlines Misinformation
On 30.09.2023 at 20:35, I contacted Turkish Airlines regarding my flight booked through 'Obilet.com' with PNR: SGBXMK. The customer service representative informed me that my ticket was on hold due to a price increase and that I needed to pay an additional ₺1248 to avoid cancellation at the airport. After making the payment, the representative completed the online check-in for me and recorded the service fee in the system. However, I was told that the fee was due to a price increase, and intermediary companies were not taking responsibility, causing inconvenience to customers. The system recorded it as a paid service request. To avoid issues at the airport with my children, I paid the amount due to the incorrect and incomplete information provided to me. The flight was canceled, and the ₺1248 was not refunded as it was considered a paid service. I filed a complaint with the company and requested an investigation of the call recordings. I was told it would be reviewed within 72 hours, but I received no follow-up. When I called again, I was informed that the company was justified and that the service was chargeable. I request a refund of the ₺1248 paid to Turkish Airlines due to the incorrect information provided and an investigation of the call recordings.
No resolution was reached, no callback or any calls were made to me, and the fee charged was not refunded.
Thank you for acknowledging the mistake and for valuing the customer. We hope not to experience the same issues again.
