Turkish Airlines Flight Cancellation — Complete Action Guide

Types of cancellation and your rights

Airline-Initiated Cancellation — Immediate Steps

1. 1 Understand your options — the airline will offer three:
   (a) Free rebooking on the next available Turkish Airlines flight
   (b) Rebooking on an alternative route (connecting flights or different routing)
   (c) A full refund to the original payment method
2. 2 Before you decide, ask: When is the next available flight? Are seats available? What is the routing?
3. 3 If you want a refund: Say clearly at the counter: "I want a full refund." Do not accept a voucher or travel credit if it is a cash refund you want.
4. 4 Get written confirmation: Ask for written proof of the cancellation and of the option you chose (email or printed).
5. 5 Document your expenses: Keep every receipt caused by the cancellation — hotel, food, transport. They can be claimed.
6. 6 Call goFLY: 01713-289179 — we will help you process the rebooking or refund.
