What happens if you miss a connecting flight Turkish Airlines?

If you miss a connecting flight Turkish Airlines, the airline will rebook you on the next available flight to your destination, free of charge, if the missed connection was due to a reason that is within their control, such as a flight delay or cancellation. This is known as a protected connection.

If the missed connection was due to a reason outside of their control, such as bad weather or a security delay, Turkish Airlines will still try to help you get to your destination as quickly as possible, but they may not be able to rebook you on the next available flight at no charge.

Here are the steps to take if you miss a connecting flight on Turkish Airlines:

1. Go to the Turkish Airlines transfer desk at the airport and inform them that you have missed your connecting flight.
2. They will check to see if there are any seats available on the next flight to your destination.
3. If there are seats available, they will rebook you on the next flight and provide you with a new boarding pass.
4. If there are no seats available on the next flight, they will try to rebook you on the next available flight, even if it is on a different airline.
5. If you have to wait for several hours or overnight for the next flight, Turkish Airlines may provide you with a hotel room and meals.

You should also be aware of the following:

• If you have booked your flights separately, Turkish Airlines is not responsible for rebooking you on the next available flight if you miss your connecting flight.
• If you have checked in for your connecting flight but have not yet boarded the plane, you should still go to the transfer desk to inform them that you have missed your flight. They may be able to rebook you on the next flight, even if the gate has already closed.
• If you are traveling with a checked bag, Turkish Airlines will transfer your bag to your new flight.
