Flight got cancelled for good (apparently due to jet fuel concerns), and we had to re-book to Hannover, Germany instead.
Food wasn’t good but not their fault as I should have pre selected
The prices and many to choose from: Very unfriendly unprofessional and difficult staff and lacked English skills. Had the pleasure to go to Istanbul in 2022 but went on Jordan Airlines and found Turkey a wonderful place with kind people. The experience as a first time flyer on Turkish Airlines was so disappointing that received not to go into Turkey was so upset about this cruel treatment
Their weakness is in boarding. Business class rarely boards first and there are no announcements explaining delays, so customers are always left waiting and wondering why boarding has paused.
My experience was amazing. Very friendly hosts and impeccable service.
Everything was great except the meat served was tough and overcooked!
Lost long time boarding because of a system anticipation done and they took to long to rectify when travel avant told them .
Friendly cabin crew and the flight was on time. Would recommend toanyone
There was a Turkish Airlines employee sat in 16A in the row in front of us. We understood that she was a Turkish Airlines employee from her interaction with the cabin crew and the fact that she boarded business but was sitting in economy with us. What annoyed us was the extremely loud conversation she had for the majority of the 12 hour flight with two men, one of which was leaning over the chair in front of her. This was annoying as they were so loud that my wife and I could still hear them despite wearing our noise cancelling earphones. No intervention was taken by the cabin crew. Secondly, she ordered some extra meals from the crew, which we believe to have come from business class, for her male friends. Seeing this in economy is very disheartening. Lastly, one of her male friends pulled out an e-cigarette and was only mildly reprimanded by the cabin crew. Overall, we consider this behaviour completely inappropriate of a Turkish Airlines employee. Next time we will book with Emirites, I don’t think that their employees would be allowed to behave in this manner.
I requested a special meal (kosher) several months ahead of the flight . It was listed on the Turkish air website that I had a kosher meal. In-flight, there was no kosher meal. I was not able to eat during the nearly 8-hour flight. There also was no kosher meal on the second leg of the trip. The flight attendants said there was nothing they could do. They had no idea why the kosher meal was not provided. Very bad meal service.
The aircraft was full with passengers and overflowing with luggages in the cabin area.
Boarding was a little chaotic. United checkin staff was truly excellent and saved the day for me. Food was great. Comfort so so. Flight was good
I had paid for an emergency exit on my flight from Tel Aviv to Frankfurt. After arriving at the desk to drop off my bag, I was told by the Lufthansa employee how my seats were so great. Then asked me if I was ok sitting by the emergency exit. And I replied "of course, that is why I paid the extra fee for the seat". After going through security I received a text message stating that my seat had been changed to 38A which is at the back of the plane. For no reason, I had lost my seat, and the money I paid for it. As I arrived at the gate, just a few minutes after receiving the text, I approached the airline personnel and was told there was nothing she can do because my seat had already been assigned to someone else and to write a complaint to the airline and ask for a refund. I told her this was unfair and did not solve the problem. I am a tall guy and the other seat was very uncomfortable, I had made sure to book on time, reserve the seat I wanted and pay on time. This was unacceptable.
The flight and staff were perfect. No notes. Amazing experience overall.
Relatively good experience from the polite professionalism of ground and cabin crew to the efficient service on board. The quality of the food served was really good and the portions just right for the flight time.
Frankfurt airport customs for terminal Z is ridiculous. We've been through there twice. Each time we have stood in line too long, had a photos taken a total of 4 times, finger prints innumerable times. This was all suppose to make things faster. And having to do this even though our first flight was from an EU country was a waste of time and a great deal of frustration. It was better before.
There was stewardes who was walking up and down the alley and keep spraying room refresher on people heads. It was terrible. Not only was it keep filling on my face plus I smelled like a room refresher after all my all clothes.
Excellent once on board. Security staff at Johannesburg rude and aggressive.
Efficient boarding process. Staff are nice. Food should be better.
Our entertainment/movie and audio did not work during our flight. Two of our bags did not make it to our final home destination. No personal assistant. Everything is via email/web with no assistance.
