I have flown over 2million miles. Great flight but bizarre boarding process. They must have paged half the passengers to the desk for documentation check before boarding anyone. Overall great value.

I have flown over 2million miles. Great flight but bizarre boarding process. They must have paged half the passengers to the desk for documentation check before boarding anyone. Overall great value.

Good in general, but i think the chair is not comfortable for traveling more than 2 hours ..

Crew was excellent. Business class was poor on the short flight and mediocre at best on the international flight.

During the flight, the fleas biting me in the plane.

Bags lost no more to say, bad communication and no urgency to get it back to the hotel by the airline properly the worst airline I have used.

bus ride to the plane was very crowded and had to wait a long time to get to the plane. The flight itself was great.

Together with my family, we all agreed that the LOT crew provided the most wonderful service that could be. We are grateful for such a great experience they provided to us! We will return and share our experience with all our friends and family.! Keep up the good work!

The flight was delayed by an hour which caused me to lose my car rental in Vilnius

The worst experience ever! They never told me I had to transfer my ticket at the ticket transfer counter. They moved me to a flight leaving the next day, which was also heavily delayed. The staff at the airport were rude and not helpfull. I'll never travel with this airline again and will not recommend it

The boarding was delayed several times. The take off was two hours late.

Have to offer water. Leg room and space is non existent

The boarding was terrible. Confusing, long and with multiple checks.

One of our suitcases was missing at arrival. No news from the lost and found desk so far. As for 3 or 4 other passengers, they said it probably was missent at Orly airport. Hope it arrives. Not sure whether a compensation will occur if not found.

Stuck on the hot overcrowded bus on the tarmac without ac

Bonjour, J'ai été très très fortement déçue et en colère par mon dernier vol avec Transavia. Voici ce qui s'est passé : J'avais acheté un billet avec 50 kg en soute (dont uniquement 36kg utilisés). Au moment du dépôt des valises en soute, l'hôtesse m'a demandé si je voulais également mettre mon bagage cabine en soute. J'ai dit que je préfère le garder avec moi. Arrivée à la porte d'embarquement, un responsable vérifie les dimensions du bagage cabine des passagers. Un tiers était non conforme à la réglementation (dimensions non conformes), dont moi. J'avais déjà voyagé plusieurs fois avec transavia sans jamais avoir de problème avec cette même valise en cabine, mais c'est la première fois que je suis confrontée à ce problème. La conséquence est de payer 60 €. Le nombre de passagers non conformes étant trop grand et les réclamations devant grandissantes, le responsable a détourné sciemment l'attention pour que des disaines de personnes traversent, pour n'en garder que 4-5, qui n'auront pas trop de voix et sont obligés de payer. Je ne remets pas en cause la réglementation. Mes reproches sont les suivants : 1- Pourquoi au moment de mettre le bagage en soute l'hôtesse n'a t-elle pas prévenu sur ce sujet ? Il aurait suffit d'une seule phrase. Tout ceci pour nous laisser arriver jusqu'à l'embarquement avec l'expérience que les bagages sont en général non conformes car vos dimensions sont ridiculement plus petites que la norme internationale, et nous mettre sous pression avant la fin de l'embarquement sans pouvoir parler à un responsable et n'avoir plus le choix que de payer. 2- l'attitude du responsable et sa methode corrompue de faire taire les réclamations en permettant à certains de passer 3- le fait que j'avais encore droit à 14kg en plus des 10kg de la valise cabine et j'ai du payer 60€ pour que finalement ma valise aille en soute. Tout ceci est une manière de soutirer de l'argement indignement, sous forme de réglementation. Je vous conseille d'assumer d'augmenter vos prix au lieu de les répercuter par des escroqueries pareils, au moins nous serions prévenus. Ceci est une honte et vous semblez en être fiers. Merci et bravo.

Transit through Cairo was abysmal and I will never repeat this journey !!!

There was delay of 2 hours and all related announcements at the gate were done in French. It is not acceptable on international flight! The sandwich that I paid €6 for, was dry, hard and impossible to eat it. This is really a shame for French airline serving such sandwich.

Cancelled while we were waiting at the airport and the flight ready for boarding because of only one Stewart missing! Unacceptable! We were proposed another flight: 5 days later! Unacceptable! We had to pay other tickets of course very expensive the same day!

La personne en charge de l’enregistrement était très impolie pas professionnelle vous devriez la renvoyer car c’est une très mauvaise image de marque pour votre société

too hot and too tight, no even small cup of water.

4 flights booked with specific seats together and a bassinet. All 4 flights were seated separately without a bassinet

We flew business class and it was impressive. So comfortable with delicious food and very attentive and polite staff. Will definitely fly Turkish airlines again.

I paid for the seat and found out that the seat doesn't recline. The staff didn't help in arranging an alternative.

Turkish airline does not care if the business class senior person has to go from one terminal to another. no guidance, no trolley, I would not travel on this airline again and also tell my friends.

Amazing! One of the best kept secrets in air travel!

We fly Bussines class and we didn’t feel like it is. Out luggage didn’t arrive and we have to return again next day from our hotel to airport to get them. Still waiting. No information from Turkish airlines Very poor customer service I think booking through kayak it was wrong decision

Three screaming and crying children in business class made it very difficult to rest. The crew made no attempt to address the situation. I might as well have saved the money and flown economy. The parents were oblivious to the discomfort their children were causing. The lounge in Istanbul is wonderful, but did not make up for the misery on the flight. My business class seat power outlet was broken and I have a cpap. The crew couldn't fix it or move me to better seat. Fortunately , the passenger in front of me allowed me to plug into his power outlet.

My seat/bed broke. Flight was delayed. Most of the cabin crew were very pleasant. Amenity kit was nice. Chairs and cabin was worn. Food was mostly quite nice.

I like Turkish Airlines Business Class to go to Europe, but it would be nice to avoid the back and forth to Istambul, and the very long layover. Regarding the 10 hrs. layover I have to say Turkish Airline lounges are superior and offer really good quality sustainable food… for ultimate comfort they also have great showers and suites to rest!

Vol Paris Istanbul en retard. Baggage en soute mis sur autre vol car seulement 15 pour attraper le vol. Baggage livré en soirée le jour d'arrivée.

Flight changed and cancelled several times over the months in advance that I booked it. However, actual flight went well, no delays, spacious seats. Had some landing issues but otherwise, fine. Also loved that they don’t check weight of luggage!

Seats are disaster, not comfortable at all. With my height 183 cm there were no space for my legs... The airplane was Turkish airlines and no entertainment on board.

Bad. Cancelled and delayed flight. Payed 25£ for seat but got just normal one. No one refunded the money.

Great flight and great crew. Many thanks to them for their hard work making our trip so relaxing.

The plane was too hot inside. There was no entertainment and we had to sit on the plane for one hour before takeoff. There was no free wifi.

Online check-in was unavailable for my flight. So I waited 40 min in the queue at the check-in counter. Then, unlike any other airline in the world (and I am a very frequent international flyer) Pegasus was adamant that my CPAP was just another carry on and that I had to pay extra for it. Then, after I had paid in advance for a seat, they insisted I could not sit in an exit row because I was over 60 years old (I'm clearly in good shape and buy exit row seats more or less weekly). We pushed back harder and harder and insisted on talking to the station chief, who spoke with the counter staff by phone (not to me) and eventually relented. Experience on boarf was ok-- for a budget airline.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGVSRsasQcG/?igsh=dmkxa2s1eHNlbHZs

The airport staff were some of the worst I've ever flown, and I fly at least 50x every year. From the staff at the gate, to the check in staff, to the ticketing sales staff. My experience in Instanbul was so bad Ill.never fly Pegasus again. They were incredibly rude, dismissive and not helpful whatsoever. This is the worst of the worst if you want to fly a budget airline I'd go elsewhere. The airplane seats are really uncomfortable and don't recline at all, you get charged for every single thing so in the end you will pay more flying with them. The crew on the plane were the only kind people we encountered with Pegasus.

The crew were outstandingly kind and cheerful. We carried our cat and they offered help.

Late departure. No announcements. Boarding was a disaster. Some kind of technical issue scanning boarding passes.

It was like moving cattle around. Very abrupt, uncomfortable and not much hospitality

All good but air not give the pasing er any food even glase of water

Flight delayed by 1hr when we already boarded because someone had to get off. Leg room is terrible for 6ft people like me.
