Came to #Pakistan to spend time with my sick father and be with family during one of hardest periods of our life

Instead dealing with SAME nightmare from @TurkishAirlines

My 2 YEAR OLD was put onto separate reservation from his parents after airport staff changed our booking

@zoobiachaudhry @TK_HelpDesk I wish we had booked Qatar instead.

Because of the situation in the Middle East we chose Turkish thinking it was safer.

At this point I would rather be grounded in Qatar than ever deal with the mental torture of this airline again

I am going to warn everyone about this

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

@TurkishAirlines now denying responsibility & refusing to correct mistake

Separating a toddler from parents is a passenger safety issue

Last year their errors forced me to cancel entire trip after months trying to fix THEIR mistake

Now this again

@GurbetKartali @tkresponse_ @TurkishAirlines @fantaugur Thank you so much for sharing 💙 You’re 💯 right. We tried business class for my disabled dad once (deaf, Parkinson’s, dementia) but they still made him walk without his wheelchair even when he kept saying he couldn’t. The seat was nicer, the treatment was the same if not worse!

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

@AngryBilli @Expedia @TurkishAirlines @ExpediaHelp @thepointsguy @TD_Canada @garyleff Both. 😔 The agency issued it wrong, the airline won’t fix it. Classic pass-the-blame between agency and carrier while I’m stuck in the middle paying the price!

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

@Expedia took my $8,200 and left my 1 yr old with no valid ticket
@TurkishAirlines confirmed Expedias error IN WRITING. Expedia refuses to help. Been trying to fix this for 2 mths
We fly Dec 4. Please help my family!

@TK_HelpDesk @TK_HelpDesk I’ve been fighting this for 2 months. The last 72 hours I’ve barely seen my baby because of this.
Each of you blames the other. I’m caught in the middle.
No more calls. Email only.

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

I have the privilege to walk away. To pay another $3K to fix their mistake.
But what about people who dont? For whom this is their one trip? Who dont have 20+ hours for hold music?
They just lose. The corporation wins.
Thats why Im still fighting.

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

I moved to Canada believing the systems worked differently. That accountability existed.
But powerlessness tastes the same everywhere.
When you’re alone against a corporation, proof means nothing.

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

I’ve already filed a formal complaint with the Canadian Transportation Agency (@CTA_GC). I’m also preparing to raise this with the Turkish Consulate (@TC_TorontoBK) here in Toronto if this continues unresolved. I’m hoping @TurkishAirlines can address this quickly.

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

@TurkishAirlines I’ve been trying to select seats for our Dec 4 YYZ–IST–ISB flight (PNR: S6NBJG) for over a month. Your agents confirmed a ticketing error, promised callbacks, and I still can’t even pay for seats for my toddler. CTA complaint filed. Need escalation.

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

@TK_HelpDesk This issue is not with the agency. I’ve already confirmed this directly with Turkish Airlines multiple times. Your own staff in Istanbul told me the error is on your side and prevents seat assignment and payment. Expedia cannot fix a Turkish Airlines system failure.

[Shehrezade Mian @ShezzyNM]

For over five weeks, the seat map has been completely unavailable due to a technical failure on your end. Your own staff told me this is “totally unacceptable” and “rarely ever happens,” yet nothing has been fixed.
