Turkish airlines is not a customer friendly airline! On 14 June I flew from Dubai to Istanbul with Turkish and 250 people were kept on the ground at Dubai airport as the captain waited for a letter which had to be taken ti Turkey. WHY should 250 people be kept waiting for a letter?Many other people on this plane lost their onward flight due to this madness. Thought I love Turkey and always support Turkey I will only fly Turkish airline when I have to in future(and I am a gold card holder)
