Surely TK's Conditions of Carriage addresses the luggage issue? So at the time of taking the passenger's money, the passenger agreed to those. If you then pitch up with too much baggage, not the airline's fault.
Jump to postBefore the movie (Batman v Superman) started, there was an advertisement (IMAX) for Turkish Airlines on how they now fly Metropolis. What an awesome marketing strategy for Turkish Airlines. In a movie where I didn't recognise any other brand, Wonder Woman clearly boards a Turkish Airline flight. It ...

Jump to postI can't remember reading about this on the the forum and I don't find any topics using the search. On the 7th of January 2016 an Etihad A330 deviated from its path from Ho Chi Minh City to Abu Dhabi. What is interesting is that a portion of its route closely resembles the path MH370 took. Etihad att...
Jump to postI'm very happy if an airline actually just heats up the bread. All the flights I had with SA (economy) in the last couple of years serves the bread cold, not room termperature, cold!
Jump to postI think some of the passengers thought the bag should inflate when oxygen is flowing.

Jump to postIf your fear is that they will go under after you purchased your tickets, I don't think you need to worry. They may be in trouble but they will be around. It's a political hot potato and letting SAA go down will look bad for the government and they won't have that - at any cost. As for them not list...
