I just deleted a post by a mistake. Please re-post :) Sorry :)

Coincidentally we just missed our connection too! And we got a “free” night stay. Your video was very useful. Thanks again.

This happened to me 3 years ago in Istanbul when i missed my connecting flight, coming from Budapest and going to Durban, because of a big storm in Budapest. Next available flight was in 5 days, so after overcoming the initial shock, we enjoyed a wonderful vacation by the sea, in a lovely hotel with all you can eat Turkish food!
Still, i would very much prefer to catch my flight this time.
Justin, thank you very much for your videos, I've been watching them all day, as I'm fast approaching my next trip to South Africa, and I'll be running for my connection flight in scary Istanbul.

Thank you for this video! I was about to purchase this flight but I saw I had 1hr layover as well and I travel with a toddler. I don’t think I will be able to make it with a kid. I’ll look into another airline for sure 😅

Ho trovato questo canale estremamente utile. Sto pianificando un volo con cambio aereo a Istambul, verso Bangkok. Hai spiegato tutto estremamente bene, con numerosi dettagli. Ti ho scritto direttamente in italiano, perché so che potrai tradurlo facilmente. Grazie.

I will never book again with Turkish Airlines!

I personally booked and paid for the flights from BSL to CAI (via IST) and the same return flights of my younger brother recently.

He returned from vacation in Egypt 8.5 later than initially planned to BSL Switzerland, due to bad time management of two flights, both operated by them:

He was denied boarding for the connection flight (TK1923 departing at 07:30 from IST and planned to land at 09:55 in BSL), as the previous flight (TK693 from CAI to IST) arrived about one hour too late in IST. He was not offered any other compensation by your airline, except for a ticket for the flight which brought him home 8.5 later in the evening on Monday, May 8 2023 (TK1925 from IST to BSL) at 18:25 at BSL.

He was too exhausted for work on the consequent day, and would have deserved a good rest before taking up work again at home after returning from his vacation in Egypt.

I first informed our local Turkish Airlines office in BSL by e-mail. They simply gave me the link for feedbacks about the airline. There I described the case and gave them all the documents regarding the flights, supporting my claim in the compensation process.

The airline insisted first that my brother opens a feedback case on his own. Which he then did on my instruction.

Then he received a lame response by e-mail, listing the various causes of the delay of the first flight by minutes and not feeling obliged to any compensation, but appreciate the feedback in order "to improve their processes... bla bla". Each time we could not simply answer the e-mail but write again (via the feedback ticket number on their web site) whether they are serious and said he would complain elsewhere, but they sticked to their version.

So here I am shaming this trashy customer service and the actual service of the airline whenever and wherever I can. Never going to fly again with them! Ever!

Nice to yo see you again making trip reports :)

[milosavbjelica]

Thanks 👍 Justin, ,
Very good explanation $$$

[rebeccafridaylover]

I got the same hotel lol. 😂 Thank you for the video!

[tommymag]

Helpful video ! I have a short connection, 65 minutes, so I’m getting myself ready to the prospect of getting the ‘free hotel’. As a US passport holder, I believe you do need a visa though to exit the airside area ? Best I prepare that in advance in case I do miss my connection

[sushi]

Happened to me once in Atlanta where Delta gave me a hotel room and once in Heathrow where British Airways refused to do so even though my connection was cancelled and I would have had the right to one. Damn British Airways lost me as a customer that day

[mrjisan]

Hi Justin, thank you for your nice video. I book a flight from Turkish airlines (BCN-IST-DHK) which include 65 min layover at Istanbul. If I miss the connecting flight, should I get free ticket from Turkish airline for the next available flight?

[zachbrown]

What is the difference between Fast Check, Short Connection, and Meet & Greet? How do you sign up for these ahead of time?

[originalname]

Thank you so much for your video! I will travel with Turkish Airlines in a month and I was wondering if I have a transit flight in Istanbul will I need a new boarding pass? Or at the first check in they will give me the 2 boarding passes? Thank you so much! My anxiety is through the roof as its my first time flying alone haha, your videos have been so helpful for transit information.

[stephaniekosger]

0:17 thank you so much for your videos! But now I’m more worried than ever. TK booked us LAX-IST-GTW with a one hour layover BIZ class. I watched the first video with the screaming lady then the follow up video of your missed connection. So, would you recommend following the screaming lady then? 😅. Our flights is in just a few days. Thanks for all the help!

[matiassebastian]

Hello, I have a conection in Istanbul and I need to print my ticket to pass to security control? in that case where I can print it because Im going with a another Airline.
My boarding pass in cellphone isn't enough to pass to security control?
Thanks

[phester]

i cant find turkish airlines policy on this. Sounds like they follow eu261 but on our return leg eu261 does not apply (from a non eu country via Istanbul. Good info none the less as it can be a frustrating time

[Decasper]

I flew with them in October 2023.. from lax to Istanbul with 90 min layover.. Turkish was delayed 60 min… had 20-30 min to get off and to the next gate to go to Athens.., didn’t happen., they automatically rebooked our flight to Athens at 2am… 6 hours later all they did was give a voucher for a meal .. equivalent to $5 usd .. the kicker was they never made any announcements.. I didn’t realize until almost to Istanbul that we were late!!! How do I get refunded for this

[spoondippinggoodrecipes]

Sir I had a question if a party of 2 was traveling and missed their connection in Turkish airlines in Istanbul does the airline book you right the next flight ?

[mariamdoukkali]

Hi, very informative video, but I still have some questions: Do I need any insurance for this? So if I have just an economy ticket is it also aright then?, also: Do I have to follow the same steps if I have booked my flight via booking? And last question, is 1h 25 enough time to make it? (is it actually 1h05 min time that I have to transfer bcs on the website it says that we have to be there 20 min before departure?so the gate close earlier?)
