If anyone is interested.. I was fighting it out with them to just give me a lounge pass so I'd have something to do on the layover they made for me, but they wouldn't do it. I guess they don't mind giving me back $400 per seat because they can resell it for so much more. Anyway, my wife's family paid for new tickets on United, so I requested the refund from Turkish to give to them.
I'm sure you checked this but just making sure. They have a section on their site with passenger rights. Don't know if your situation qualifies but it's worth looking into:http://www.turkishairlines.com/en-us/travel-information/legal-notice/legal-notice-passenger-rights/regulation-on-air-passenger-rights
a compensation of the Turkish Lira equivalent of 250 Euros for all the flights of 1500 kilometers or shorter
How do you feel about flying through Istanbul these days for a single frum girl? Esp. through airport SAW and getting there on one ticket and continue to TLV on a different ticket.
SAW airport is a regular modern European airport, I had a stopover there with Pegasus & saw a bunch of chasssidim making a minyan in the middle of the terminal,nothing to be worried about IMHO
Thank you!
But having a girl transfer from IST to SAW is not so
Anyone flown with them lately? My family doesnt want to fly with them due to the situation
I booked my father and mother on two separate Turkish tickets using united miles. For some reason my fathers reservation says he gets checked bags for free but my mothers says only one.i can't figure out why its free. Is there any reason to be concerned they won't honor it?
Did you use Elite account to book?
Really? I guess the question is then why my mother only got one.Maybe it is because she is on a round trip ticket flying to the us on air canada while my father is on a one way.Anyway thanks for the reply!
I believe it was left behind in IST
They ended up giving me $100 compensation
Flying AC or TK?
tlv yyz ord on air canada and jfk ist tlv on Turkish.My father has the same itinerary but it's two one way tickets.
