Hello,
When I went to the baggage drop/check-in point in Brussels with my spouse, I showed my bags and asked if I could take them with me. They said I could. I asked them to weigh my bags to avoid any issues, and I put one on the scale. (The bag I put on the scale is the one that the ticket control officer at the boarding point said exceeded 8 kg and for which I was charged ₺130.) Despite my bag being weighed and our other bags being seen at the check-in/baggage drop point, I was told I could enter the plane this way. I asked for a hand baggage tag for my suitcase and bags, but they said it wasn't necessary and that the tag from my previous trip would suffice. When I got to the boarding gate, they weighed my suitcase again and said it exceeded the allowable limit. At the boarding gate, they charged me ₺130, and instead of allowing my suitcase in the cabin, they sent it to the plane's baggage hold. Meanwhile, I have a 33 kg baggage allowance that I did not use. If my bag's weight was not suitable, why was I told I could take it with me? If I had been told my bag was not suitable for the cabin, I would have handed it over to the officer as checked baggage, which was my intention when I went to the baggage drop/check-in point. Here, I am facing a violation of my rights by not using my 33 kg baggage allowance and paying extra. At this point, I was victimized by the boarding gate team. Despite the issue not being my fault, ₺130 was charged to me, which is not fair. You are both sending my suitcase to the baggage hold and not allowing me to use my 33 kg baggage allowance while charging ₺130.
I wanted to check in my luggage for a THY flight from Istanbul to Trabzon with 30 minutes left before departure. They refused to let me board, claiming the plane was closed. I didn't carry my hand luggage because I have a 98% health disability and couldn't carry it. I put everything in my suitcase, ...
I encountered a baffling situation with Turkish Airlines during my father's trip from Antalya to Bishkek. Our journey involved two separate flights: the first from Antalya to Istanbul, and the second from Istanbul to Bishkek. These flights were not connected and were booked at different times. Th...
I purchased 54 kg of baggage through the app and paid £141. At the airport, they told me I only had 20 kg. I called customer service to explain the situation. I stated that everything was recorded and that £141 would not be charged for just 20 kg of baggage. They told me that the price was quoted fo...
Last August, I purchased a ticket from Turkish Airlines that included a 23 kg baggage allowance. When I arrived at the airport, they claimed my ticket only included cabin baggage and charged me an additional 105€ for the baggage fee. After numerous complaint emails and phone calls, it was acknowledg...
On August 13, 2023, between 11:00 and 12:30, I encountered poor customer service at the ticket section, specifically in section E, at Istanbul's new airport. The staff's working manner was very unsatisfactory. They were unhelpful and had poor communication skills. Firstly, we had a baggage allowanc...
