I don't think it's up to the airline to inform travellers. If you're travelling anywhere it's up to you to know what's required. It's not as if there's a lack of information available these days.

Apparently 30 people on an EasyJet flight to Dalaman yesterday were refused boarding.

As I said we always carry our Visas with us but I do wonder if the 4 unfortunate people who were not allowed to board were notified by their airline.

We have NOT been advised by our airline.

Not looked but my guess is it will say somewhere. I’ll check my easyJet details.

Important information about your flights:
Liverpool - Dalaman

Apply for your Turkish Visa before you travel. Things you need to know before applying:
• Nationals of 94 countries are able to apply and buy a Turkish Visa online
• You must have a minimum of 6 months validity on your passport
• You must have made a flight booking
• You must have a valid Visa or MasterCard credit card
• To apply, please go to the Republic of Turkey’s Electronic Visa Application System website.


No mention of needing to show it at the airport in hard copy form though.

Just found this under easyJet latest travel info:

From 29 October 2018, self service e-Visa kiosks and Wi-Fi areas where visitors can apply for an e-Visa on arrival will no longer be available in Turkish airports - you must apply for your e-Visa before you travel.

Came back to Dalaman yesterday from Luton and Easyjet staff were checking all E-visas in the Boarding Gate queue. Saw 3 people refused boarding for no visa.

We were refused boarding LGW 31/3/19 and when we flew via Stansted the following day, weren’t asked for visa etc.  To make matters worse, on arrival on Dalaman, the visa application office was open and manned. So annoying!

Your proof is your passport,not a bit of paper done on a home printer that could e been tampered with.
I would suggest this is cost cutting in that it prevents people turning up at the other end being refused entry and having to fly home.You do not need a visa until you enter the country.
That said it’s no great difficulty to print a copy and take it.
