Turkish Airlines Poor customer service

I booked 2 flights from Atlanta to South Africa (Turkish Airlines). The first agent (Amos) fumbled the phone when he answered (like I woke him up). He was rude when he answered the phone. He said he didn't understand the problem and hung up on me. Called back (Kbon?) said he couldn't find my ticket info, put me on hold and hung up. I called back he answered again, I asked for a mgr, he blew air into the phone and hung up. I called back again (4th time) and was kindly assisted by Simone. She was able to find my tickets and assist me. She is a good employee and was diligent about resolving my problem.

The other two guys did not want to work nor assist my call. Shameful ... they both preferred to disconnect the call rudely.

Horrible experience for me. First time on this airlines and trying to get help was a nightmare.

Desired outcome: Finally, resolved by Simone. She was very kind and helpful. She was able to assist me to select and pay for my husband's seats.

Turkish Airlines Connecting flight and lost item

I was travelling from Dubai to Dublin having Istanbul as the layover for 1 hour 25 minutes on 8th January morning. My flight landed at 6:45 am at Istanbul airport and I was in security check-in queue at 7:12 am. I asked so many people to let me go first as my boarding already started (few were good and few being adamant I had to wait for my turn). I lost my smart watch at security check-in which I realized when I reached gate for my flight. I told the lady at Turkish airline counter to submit my 1 bag so it will be ease in mobility and I will check with people on security transfers for my smart watch. She refused to help. I tried running from gate to security transfer people none of the person there helped me. I rushed back to gate and I missed my flight too. I had to pay $730 for my new flight and no traces of my lost item.

Contact - ca. [protected]@gmail.com

Claimed loss: I incurred a loss of approximate 35000 Turkish Lira ($730 for the new flight ticket and $438 for my smart watch)

Desired outcome: Please I would request to refund

Turkish Airlines Baggage claim

I flew with Turkish Airlines and they offered the absolute worst customer service.

They are extremely unprofessional, rude and simple don't care about their clients. Customer service representatives are not knowledgeable, refuse to assist and simply transfer you to another department where you have to explain your problem. After spending more than 2 hours on the phone, they say that there is nothing they can do.

After flying from IST to ORD in August, they damaged 2 of the suitcases. I filed a claim on their website and after submitting the required documents several times, and waiting almost 3 months, my claim was rejected for not submitting my credit card statement. Their requests are unreasonable, and they simply are looking for ways to deny payment and avoid accountability.

Do NOT fly with Turkish unless you have nerves of steel and are ready to be treated with absolutely NO respect.

Turkish Airlines customer service of Turkish Airlines

We booked a flight with Turkish Airlines to travel to Jordan for 1 week, which would start on October 13th, unfortunately 1 week before a serious military conflict in neighbored country Israel started. As we reached out to Airline to cancel the trip due to safety reasons or at least to change the destination, both our suggestions were declined and absolutely no solution was offered. Even changing the destination to Istanbul, which was our middle stop on the way to Amman, would have cost us 1.000 EUR (on top to initial 2 tickets price of 1100). Just to compare, our hotel chain immediately and without any questions cancelled all reservations free of charge.

Hence we are deeply disappointed that Turkish Airlines has absolutely no interest in customers´ safety, but only thinks about it´s own profit. Definitely will not consider flying with Turkish Airlines again.

Desired outcome: voucher/refund for the lost tickets

Turkish Airlines Lost luggage

Hi, I had my trip with TK on the route Sao Paulo - Istambul - Cluj Napoca.

It started Saturday 30th of September (TK0194) with a delay of 2 hours, by this point I would have lost my connection from Istambul to Cluj Napoca but that flight also got delayed by 5 hours (TK1347), we where supposed to arrive at 9pm and we arrive almost at 2am!

But the main problem is that when I arrived to Cluj Napoca I didn't received my two luggage, I presented the complain at the Office of lost&found and they gave me the File Reference and told me that the next flight from Istambul was Monday morning.

I waited to hear something on Monday, but no news.

I called twice to TK and they keep saying to call back the next day and that they don't have new info, they don't even know if my luggage is in Istambul or in Sao Paulo!

I sincerely don't know what to do, I'm a foreign student in Cluj, all my belongings are in those bags, I cannot afford to buy new stuff.

Desired outcome: I want the luggage to be located and sender to me as fast as possible
