A very helpful web-site1 I hope I am travelling in Turkey this summer & I intend to do lots with Turkish Airlines. Last year I had a truly dreadful experience with British Airways losing my luggage, failing to assist me when I was stranded without necessary medications, failing to reimburse me (though they say they will do this -when? In a couple of years perhaps?) and not even offering an apology. Nothing can be worse than British Airlines for sheer rudeness and arrogance.
Penelope, I hope you have great vacation in Turkey. I’m confident that you’ll be much more satisfied with Turkish airlines.
Turkish Airlines is really one of the best, especially if you are flying overseas. Not only are they good at handling luggages, their meals and behavior of the flight attendants are also one of the best amongst the biggest airlines.
I strongly recommend their utilization to everyone.
