Very good in general but we were assigned seats in different rows.
On plane great. Everything else needs improvement. Missed both connecting flights because of flight delays. The directions to go to the hotel desk were terrible. On the flight here I mistakenly went to wrong “hotel” both and got hoodwinked into paying for transportation and stayed in lesser hotel. The staff at airport were not helpful and signage is not clear. Next time I will fly different airline. Not sure how they got such a high rating with how they manage flights at Istanbul. Also the flight temp is hotter than any other carrier I have flown.
First Flight got delayed had to get rebook for another plane ride to connect the next day the process was not helpful at all had to figure the whole processs myself poor service plane was small and customer service was horrible will not fly this airline again
Boarding took long and there was a long queue. The seat didn't recline. The crew didn't have access to any medicine.
Excellent overall. Boarding was a mess. Queue up too early, takes too long for them to start boarding but they want everyone to queue up and wait and wait.
The boarding process was a disaster. I was comfortably seated in the lounge at Athens when I got a notice the flight was boarding so I rushed to the gate. When I arrived, it was NOT boarding and we waited an additional 10 minutes before boarding started. There were no announcements regarding the order in which passengers should board and it was a bums’ rush. A total mess.
Turkish Airlines changed our business class seats at the last minute and said it was a computer glitch. No other airlines has had this glitch. The steak was like leather and nobody could eat it. The boarding process was extremely slow and we had to stand and wait in line for over an hour in EWR and almost as long in IST. Again while coming back our seats were changed from row 3 to row 6 for no reason. The food was a lot better from IST to EWR. The service was poor from EWR to IST and good coming back.
Boardings in Newark and Istanbul were kind of chaos. Dedicated lines for assigned seats seems to be a smart idea, but most of the people were getting confused and were going back and forth. The agents were yelling where to go. The food was limited. Whatever we asked, they were out of it. For example, I would imagine that most of the people would prefer chicken over pasta. By the time they reached us, only pasta was available. For a long flight, in our case almost 11 hours, it’s very uncomfortable to remain put in the seat where not enough space to stretch the legs. But this is the another story about economy and upgraded flights.
PLEASE GIVRE US PERMISSION TO BOOK SEAT NUMBER EVEN WITH FEES
The seat did not recline and we called the stewardess, he forced it to recline, but when we landed, it did not come forward because the seat was broken. The stewardess came, He tried to do it but couldn't do it, the flight commander came and spoke to us in a bad tone, telling us to get out of here, she waited at the head and acted as if there was a child and we couldn't get up, it was very shameful, I don't even know if it's true, but she said if you don't get up, the plane will not land and will keep turning around. Then a passenger pushed the seat from behind and it worked. Then we wanted to talk to the supervisor again, but she did not come next to us. We fly so much and this is the first time we encountered such a style.
It is great airline if your final destination is Izmir or surrounding cities. Just don’t expect Emirates experience and you will be fine.
Flight departed on time, all went well, crew, flight, plane, we landed on time, exceeded our expectations,
It’s not good airline is very cheap and not organized and everything expensive inside the aircraft
Horrible experience, no one has any answers especially if you are just using the airline for connection. The planes are old, the crew did not understand English and made no attempt to explain.
Checkin with agent-no eye contact, no words. No smile. Agents late to open checkin counter. Flight was full. Child in back of my seat pushing with legs and feet, thus moving the backrest of my chair. No attendants during the flight, only before takeoff and at landing. Plane ride itself was smooth and quick. Good pilot landing at airport.
The WiFi didn’t work throughout the whole flight. So we couldn’t access the entertainment and we couldn’t even access the English food menu since the QR code only works if you’re on the plane’s WiFi.
Crew was helpful; food was horrible AND expensive; they had us wait on the tarmac on a bus for nearly 30 minutes; the flight departed more than 90 minutes late and weather was NOT an issue. Miserable really, but at least my luggage arrived and we didn’t die - could have been worse I guess.
The staff is super nice and happily works with everyone in need of something. Prepare to have cash in Euro on you to buy drinks and food.
Wasn’t able to check in online and checkin line at airport took over an hour
Here’s the truth / I paid $29 for a flight that lasted 45 minutes - so the experience was short on the plane and the expectations I had, given the price tag, were humble. However the airline was comprised of professional and courteous people. Long on smiles, short on legroom on the Boeing 737-800 - but what else would one expect? Nicely done to the folks at SunExpress.
They only checked us in 30 mins before the flight leaving us a very short time to go through security and getting to the gate And last but not least - My luggage has not arrived to my destination
I arrived at the airport and the flight did not exist
They find a way to Nickel and dime you in all creative ways. The boarding crew seems to have target collection amount. If you are flying internationally, avoid them at all costs.
