I frequently fly with Turkish Airlines... I will never forget the night of 22.06.2024! Turkish Airlines support, which is supposed to provide support, was anything but supportive! After an incident in Mardin, I received a notification from the Turkish Airlines mobile app... My flight was delayed by 35 minutes, and I had already been waiting at Istanbul Airport for 6 hours. When I saw the delay, I went to the restroom, which was not far from gate F6... When I returned, the gate was closed! 20 minutes earlier. A lady at the Turkish Airlines support area greeted me and blamed me without listening.

I was already upset and my flight was missed. On top of that, she yelled and spoke loudly, saying I should have been there 20 minutes earlier. I was there at 19:00, and no one was around. People started gathering later. I received a notification at 20:09 that boarding time was 21:05, so I went and came back, but the gate closed at 20:53... 20 minutes earlier... Turkish Airlines was delayed by 35 minutes, so how was this my fault?

The lady at Turkish Airlines support told me I could never fly with Turkish Airlines again and then told me to wait there while she checked the cameras. I waited for 10 minutes, but I didn't want to see her face anymore! I went to the other side, where a gentleman listened to me and said they would help. Later, he came back and said his colleagues checked the cameras and accused me of lying!

They told me to buy another ticket! Just as the lady had said, because they claimed I was lying! I've never seen such disrespect. In the end, my flight was missed, and I had to buy another ticket. First of all, you don't talk to people like that! Turkish Airlines was delayed, not me! If the flight had departed at 20:30, I would have been home sleeping peacefully. I'm asthmatic and was crying constantly, alone, with no one to help, and they only blamed me.

The lady even threw a paper at me, saying I could complain wherever I wanted. I reached out to the global Turkey number, where a kind lady named i** calmed me down a bit. I was left stranded and realized once again that humanity is lost! People only care about money... I've been flying with Turkish Airlines for many years and have never encountered such a situation.

Hello, Part 2. THY (Turkish Airlines) is constantly delayed, and we wait patiently. Previously, we would receive notifications 6 hours and 2 hours in advance, but on that day, 22.06.2024, no announcement was made. The last call used to be 45 minutes before, and passport control would be done. When I arrived there around 19:00, no one was there. I kept checking the board and then sat down to watch a match on my phone. At 20:09, I received a notification that it was delayed by another 35 minutes. I had already been sitting at the airport for 6 hours, and naturally, one gets tired. When I heard about the delay, I went to the WC Terrace, which is not far from F6a. When I came back, the gate was closed at 20:53. Your notification came at the wrong time, causing confusion. I understood the boarding time to be 21:05... That lady told me that I should have come 20 minutes earlier, as if it was my first time flying. I had been sitting there for an hour at the gate! If THY hadn't been delayed, I would have been home by 19:30 with the boarding time at 20:30 and the gate closing. I wanted to stay at the Yotel. When I arrived, the lady misunderstood me because when I said I missed my flight, she directed me to the hotel desk. The ladies there checked the cameras and unfortunately said there was no room for me at the hotel. Then I went to F44 and explained the situation and everything. A gentleman listened to me while I was crying and apologized on behalf of those ladies, but he couldn't find a solution either. I was left stranded until 13:30 the next day. I have asthma and had to use my medication constantly. I always travel with connections, and I come to Turkey to visit. People are always hospitable, helpful, and kind, but I will never forget the injustice done to me on that day...
