“I will never fly with them again,” wrote one frustrated mother after her experience with Turkish Airlines bringing her baby on his first international flight.
The grueling 18-hour trip was supposed to be made easier by purchasing a bassinet seat. Priced at 76 euros ($85), the seat promised comfort for both the mother, who goes by Areana on TikTok, and her baby. However, her hopes quickly vanished when she wasn’t assigned the spot she paid for on the flight from Istanbul.
“I told the flight attendant I had paid for a bassinet seat, but they kept me standing with my baby until everyone was seated,” she recalled.
