If possible i wouldn’t give Sun Express one star! We just were scammed out of £160 (£80 per person) on a random bag check at the departure gate at Antalya airport. The woman on the gate obviously had a target to increase the airline revenue by randomly selecting passengers and charging them a disproportionate amount for “excess luggage”. Are Sun Express struggling for revenue so much that they have to resort to scamming their customers now. Beware! We will never get on one of there planes again now!

Me and my family was flying from Antalya to Beirut

Me and my family was flying from Antalya to Beirut plane was at 7:45 AM. we spent 2 hours and a half on the check-in Line number 530 Antalya Airport. The guy on the check-in line was over slow, maybe his 1st day in that job. 6:53 we arrived at the check-in guy. they didn't accept to check in telling me that i am late 8 minutes. It was their fault. we missed the plane because of them. so we spent me and my family 18 hours at the airport and booked another flight to Istanbul and then from Istanbul to Beirut and arrived to Beirut at 12 AM and paid 1200$ for the new flight, i tried to contact Sun express and open a complaint but they didn't do anything. Never use Sun Express, bunch of liars and unprofessional.

Was due to board the flight having been checked in and having bags checked onto the airplane, and been processed through the airport security. As we were about to board the airplane, 1 staff member (in disagreement with another) would not allow my 5 year old grandson to board the plane stating the passport was not valid. We missed our Holiday, flight and hotel as a result with severe mental health disruption to a 5 year old child.

Despite checking-in online in advance, reaching the airport counter on time, having the valid passport and documents, even after my last effort of reaching the aircraft boarding gate after immigration check, I was refused by the airline staff to board the aircraft and boarding was denied to me. In addition, the airline staff refused to compensate me or give me a new booking for my destination. With regard to the above, I would highlight that this caused me a great mental and physical stress as well inconvenience in a foreign land and forced me to book an unwanted new itinerary to reach my final destination. It was a financial burden imposed indirectly on me by the act of the irresponsible staff who did not bother to do their required job correctly.

My family's flight was canceled due to the strike and the airport offered several alternatives. We picked the flight the next day to be able to use the same airports. We couldn't able to arrive at our friend's wedding party.
