Having previously flown with TA, I decided to book withthem for my September holiday. I was beyond disappointed. On arrival at Ataturk Airport, we were literally abandoned and given no information about getting to the domestic terminal. The airport was so run down compared to our earlier visits. The layover was hellish. It was badoutbound but worse inbound. Unless you at present travelling frkm London, you will still fly intothe old Ataturk Airport. The airline itself and the actual flight were greatbut the ground services, which TA oversee was shocking because of lack of information and a shabby dirty airport.i went mention the toilets !!!!!!! Lady Year the return flight from Edinburgh was £257, this year it’s approximately £360. I won’t use them again.
Couldn't disagree more! But then we all differ. I use Turkish airline maybe 3-4 time per year, and when compared with Queasyjet and their ilk, often work out cheaper. better seat, Food on Flight, Free 23Kg bag allowance per ticket, Entertainment on flight. Yes you get the stop over, but NEVER in 4 years of doing the travelling to our place in Turkey have i ever waited more than 3 hours. Take this June for Example (2019) Cost of budget airline cheapest, including luggage allowance, £565. TA = £469!!
Agree Ataturk is run down, but hey the have a new Airport now. May i ask what exactly where you expecting after landing in Istanbul, a personal guide to your dalaman flight? not asking nasterly but just enquiring. Signs clearly show Domestic Transfer and Passport Control??
Like i said, not everyone is the same thank goodness, but IMHO the choice tween TA and Budget for service and COST is a no brainer!
