At the time we were supposed to board the plane, we were kept waiting. After a while, some passengers were asked to disembark. Eventually, boarding began. During takeoff, we experienced a 30-minute delay. There was only one flight attendant serving the front section of the plane (this was the first time I saw a single attendant trying to serve so many passengers), and she was struggling to attend to all the passengers on the fully booked flight. The pilot managed to reduce the 30-minute delay to 10 minutes during the flight. However, after landing at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, we spent an additional 40 minutes taxiing on the ground. Passengers, including myself, who were worried about missing their connecting flights, were quite stressed. Later, we found out that our connecting flight was also delayed.
I have been flying for years and have flown with different airlines. I used to think that Turkish Airlines was of a different quality, but I no longer believe so.
It was a stressful and exhausting journey.
I recently had a frustrating experience on a Turkish Airlines flight from Diyarbakir to Istanbul. The flight was delayed for 35 minutes, which was aggravating enough, but what happened next was even worse. We ended up waiting inside the plane for another 50 minutes before takeoff. This unanticipated...
I purchased a flight ticket from Turkish Airlines, which was canceled at the last minute due to a plane malfunction. We were kept waiting until 11:00 PM for the 8:50 PM flight. We were informed that we would be transferred to another plane and waited until midnight, but we were not allowed to board ...
I missed my Istanbul to Amsterdam flight, booked with PNR code saıp2c, on Friday because the flight was rescheduled without notice, and the gate closed 30 minutes before departure with no announcements or warnings. I arrived at the gate exactly at 10:10 for my 10:40 flight and found it empty. A tota...
Today, November 11, 2023, my flight from Kastamonu to Istanbul Airport was scheduled for 13:15. The flight started 10-15 minutes late even before it began. While we were waiting, the staff member said the delay was normal due to the late arrival of the plane, which I found to be an unreasonable expl...
Today, we embarked on a journey with Turkish Airlines, transferring from Antalya to Samsun via Istanbul. Turkish Airlines left us in a lurch and turned our day into a disaster. They arbitrarily canceled my connecting flight and rescheduled it for the next morning. My wife and I went through quite an...
