Plane door not shut properly and opened in flight. Very frightening. How did the pilots not see the warning lights before. Emergency diversion to vienna.

My flight was delayed leaving Edinburgh this was our first family holiday with my 4 year old the reason I booked the flight times was because it was practical for arrival of early evening with our delay this resulted in us arriving at our Hotel at 2.30am which caused my family a very stressful start to our holiday.

Less then 14 days notice give to a Significant flight change. Original flight time and date LGW 18th July 01:20- arrive DLM 07:25 New flight LGW 18th July 19:35 -arrive DLM 01:40 19th July ! Inbound flight has also changed Original flight time and date DLM 1st August 22:00-arrive LGW 00:20 2nd August New flight August 1st DLM 16:20-arrive LGW 18:40 We planned the flights around a special needs child and other children and respite We now have a 2 day loss, 12days Instead of 14 days . If the airline cancels your flight altogether (or presents a change of flight as a schedule change), you have even more rights. First, you must be offered a choice between a refund for cancelled flight or an alternate flight. Then, you may also be entitled to a flight cancellation compensation. For that, the airline must have warned you about the cancellation less than 14 days prior to the flight.

Denied boarding

Very inexperienced staff. Staff shortage. Unhappy staff. Careless. Unhelpful. Uknowledgeable and very rude staff. How the Air line passed to carry passengers. Long ques. Spend 30 min minimum with per passenger. No manager to handle issues and resolve them. Worst company in every ways.

Flight delay

Additional comment I would also like to express how disappointed I am with the overall handling of this delay. For such a significant delay, passengers could at least have been provided with refreshments and better assistance and information. Instead, the whole experience was extremely exhausting and frustrating. To make matters worse, after finally arriving in Antalya, we had to wait approximately another hour for our baggage. After already being delayed for more than three hours, an additional one-hour wait for luggage was simply unacceptable. I was also disappointed to see third-party services offering to handle compensation claims while charging passengers very high fees and taking a substantial percentage of the compensation. After such a poor travel experience, having to lose a large part of the compensation just to get assistance with a claim makes the situation even more frustrating. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience with SunExpress, and I sincerely hope passenger care during significant delays will be handled much better in the future.

Flight delay

Zero communication delayed flight by 4 hours and zero help given. Waited in baggage for 2 hours too as it took ridiculously long to get moving!

Very disappointed with SunExpress a...

Very disappointed with SunExpress and their complete lack of professionalism and customer care. My mother was supposed to fly from Izmir to London Stansted on 30 April (booking reference U7ARKA). She arrived at the check-in desk around 18:15 for a 19:20 flight, which should have been enough time. However, staff refused to check her in and kept calling each other because they could not decide what to do. Instead of helping, they wasted even more time themselves by sending her between desks and refusing to take responsibility. The flight did not even depart until around 20:00, so there was clearly still enough time to assist her if they genuinely wanted to help. My mother was left extremely distressed, crying, anxious, and unsupported at the airport. I also tried contacting them from London during the incident, but nobody showed any willingness to help or find a solution. This situation happened after SunExpress had already cancelled her flights twice previously, causing days of stress and rearrangements. On top of that, their online check-in system was not working properly beforehand, and I had to contact customer service multiple times regarding technical issues. As a result of the staff’s poor handling of the situation, I had to purchase a completely new ticket with Pegasus Airlines for the following morning at additional cost, while my mother had to spend many stressful hours overnight at the airport feeling unwell. The most frustrating part is that after submitting a formal complaint, SunExpress still refused to offer a refund or take any responsibility. Their response was dismissive, unhelpful, and lacked any empathy or professionalism. My family has travelled with SunExpress for many years, but after this experience, we are extremely disappointed by the unfair treatment and poor customer service we received. I will continue escalating this matter through CIMER, Google Reviews, Trustpilot, social media platforms, and all available consumer complaint channels so other passengers are aware of how this situation was handled. I would not recommend SunExpress based on this experience.
