    Advantages Advantages Flies from a variety of airports to the beautiful North Cyprus.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Just about everything you would expect from a modern airline is missing.

    INTRODUCTION As a family we've flown with KTHY every summer for the last 9 years, over which they've gradually been getting worse and worse. As you'll begin to understand from my review, this is not out of choice but of necessity as quite simply its the only way to get to the beautiful North Cyprus without incredible amounts of hassle. That is, if you consider 'without incredible amounts of hassle' to be flying with one of the worst scheduled airlines in the world... Firstly, I would like to state that North Cyprus is one of the most beautiful, unspoilt, non-touristified holiday destinations ... more

    Advantages Advantages Support the strangled TRNC economy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ...but pay through the nose in order to do so

    Cyprus Turkish Airlines is quite an anomaly of an airline; flying, as it does, between northern European countries and increasingly popular holiday destinations, they are clearly targeting the tourism market. However, they are doing so with outdated planes and customer service that leaves a lot to be desired and so they seem to be doing as much as they can to put people off travelling to the beautiful TRNC. We have been travelling to the TRNC for the past three years and it does have to be said that much has changed, mostly for the better, in this time. But there are three main problems with ... more

    Advantages Advantages Ercan airport, Duty Free, shorter transfer time.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages old planes. stopover in Turkey

    I have never written a review but find that my recent experience deserves one, To cut to the chase we have flown with KTHY on at least 15 occassions since 1999 and have first hand experience of the service going from bad to worse, but surprise surprise this is a good review. We have a villa near Kyrenia and normally visit at least twice a year, flying in to Larnaca and taxi to the north, checking prices from our closest airports came as a bit of a shock (maybe fuel costs etc) so i checked out KTHY website found the dates and duly booked oin their new e/ticket system, arrived at Heathrow no ... more

    Advantages Advantages planes a bit cramped for space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nearly always fully booked

    After searching through the usual pile of places to visit,I suddenly thought of North Cyprus,but how does one get there? I asked myself, after looking it up on the web I soon came up with some ideas and suggestions, 1.On the the official website www.trnc.net I was pointed towards Cyprus Turkish Airlines,they fly to North Cyprus (Ercan Airport,Nicosia)locally pronounced erjan. What a suprise I got,My flight was direct from Stansted to Ercan with a stop at Izmir on the Turkish mainland due to the fact that following the 1974 conflict in Cyprus between the Greeks and Turks the airport is not ... more

    Advantages Advantages Flight on time, meal was good, staff ok

    Disadvantages Disadvantages old plane, no inflight entertainment, one toilet had no water on way out

    I flew Heathrow to Izmir in Oct 07. Crew were ok, not as miserable as expected based on the reviews I had read. No in flight entertainment but meal on way out was very good. On arrival in Izmir one of my suitcases had been ripped on 2 sides. I filled in a damage report and was told to ring the airline.I got a Turkish friend to call on my behalf and was told by KTHY that I had to bring my suitcase to Izmir, which was 2 hours away and they would try and repair it. I explained I could not get there with a suitcase and a baby but they were not interested and did not offer alternative or any help ... more
