I actually had to deal with Turkish Airlines’ cancellation policy just a few months ago when my Istanbul trip got rescheduled last minute. Honestly, I was a little nervous because I’d heard international carriers can be strict, but it turned out smoother than I expected. My ticket was booked on a semi-flexible fare, which meant I could change the flight date with a small fee, but a full cancellation would’ve cost me more.
The online portal did show the options, but when I tried to finalize, it kept looping me back to the payment screen. That’s when I decided to just call their support line. After a bit of waiting, I found that the fastest way to get things done was through (877)-764-3622. The rep I spoke with was super helpful—he walked me through whether it made more sense to cancel outright or just push the travel dates forward. In my case, changing the ticket was cheaper, and he confirmed it right away.
So my advice? Turkish Airlines is pretty fair about changes and cancellations, but the rules depend a lot on your fare type. If you want it sorted instantly, just call that number—it saved me a headache.
