On 3 February 2012, I took a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Baku and lost my luggage. One of two missing items was found after a week. The second one was missed, and I returned to Istanbul. Because I could not find anyone at THY Luggage Department by phone, I had to go to the airport twice to get info on my luggage. Two weeks later I filled a number of papers and provided THY officer with a list of lost things to get indemnity. I still wait, and nothing happens. Nobody answers my calls to Insurance Department at Turkish Airlines, and my emails go unanswered too. And this is so-called best airline in Europe?!

To : Turkish Airlines – Celebi Ground Handling Hungary

Dear Sir/Madam
Hereby I, Ms. Shabnam Esmaeili Dehkordi would like to inform you on 4th
Jan 2016
I came to Budapest from Tehran ( Imam Khomeini airport) by Turkish
Airlines TK 875 / TK 1035 04 Jan 2016 .
Unfortunately, I had a carrier with me from Tehran in this flight but
Turkish stuff did not let me to carry with myself to the cabin. So, they
collected it upon my boarding to the aircraft on flight ( TK 875 ) and gave
me a tag receipt . ( it is enclosed to this e-mail)
When I arrived to Budapest that day this bag ( which I enclosed a photo to
this e-mail ) did not come so I filled a lost bag repot at Budapest airport
but no news of this bag so far.
I appreciate if you follow up and find my bag .
My Home address in Hungary : 3/36 Honvéd street 1 debrecen 4026
My Mobile Phone : [protected]

Truly yours,
Shabnam Esmaeili

Turkish Airlines lost my luggage while traveling domestically then i had to catch a flight internationally with Aeroflot to my country. Turkish Airlines representative promised to have my luggage delivered to my home address. They claimed, told my friend in Turkey, my luggage was on board my flight, they have rushed it, later they called my friend and told him, they sent the wrong luggage. In Moscow, I had to return the wrong luggage and catch the flight to my home town. Again, Turkish airlines representative promised to have my luggage delivered in few days, and they gave me a phone number. Phone number no one ever answered.
You probably guessed it. Yes, Turkish airlines never delivered my luggage. They claimed it was in Moscow, i had to go get it. I had to fly 2000 km and pay from my pocket to get it. I refused. I reminded their promises. My friend in Turkey was coming, so finally they delivered the luggage to his address in Turkey, He paid $150 for second luggage and so far Turkish airlines have not compensated me for the mistake. I had my cell phone, special glasses and few other items stolen from the luggage as well. I complained too many places, finally Turkish claims they will give me $300, but, I have to collect it from Moscow. Again a game. Why cannot send to me, mail me, send to my bank account, etc. They have shown no remorse. We have boycotted Turkish Airlines. I was invited for a training in Turkey, and the organizers knowing my dislike, and problems with Turkish Airlines arranged not only my but all 30 attendee’s flights with other air carriers. Glad they lost clients. Keep it up, and Some day you will see "Globally yours". Maybe have an UP added.

I agree with you, I have called them millions of times and no answer and even if they answer they pretend they do not understand english. Lets organize and file a joint law suite against this unbelievable customer service of turkish airline. I lost my luggage on dec 2011 and they are not even replying me or anything. it's time to bring TURKISH AIRLINE to JUSTICE. thanks

I totally agree. At least you've got your bag back. As for mine, the Hostess professionally stole my handbag, from inside the airplane, can you believe it ? She gave me an irregular number tag to me in the airplane. I didn't know that was irregular, until the Turkish airlines employee in Istanbul told me so. It happened on my way back from ( Greece to Istanbul and then Syria ). I had to stay in Istanbul more than 24 hours and i needed my money and ll stuff from my Handbag.And i didn't get back, I had work documents in it, , , , very important things. They never answer the phones, they pretend they don't know English. They ignore and not help you. They just don't care. I don't understand how they have had rewards for their service is - [protected] below 0. They are all liars. Even here in my country when i tryto contact Turkish Airlines. They just don't answer, don't have an idea about my issue, so everytime i call i have to tell them my story all over again...I am very upset, I don't know what to do. But I'm ready to file a court on them if we can gather and be a good number of people and do it all together.
