Tickets, Refunds, and Check-in in Turkey: what actually matters to know

From real experience

caseRefunds for Turkish Airlines tickets, even those labeled as 'fully refundable', often incur significant commission fees.
Users report that refunds can sometimes be issued to a 'Turkish Wallet' instead of the original payment method, which may yield a higher recovered amount. Segments are sometimes valued disproportionately (e.g., 80% for the first leg, 20% for the return), which drastically reduces refund amounts.

ruleOnline check-in for international flights, particularly with Turkish Airlines departing from Istanbul, may involve charges for seat selection.
Even after automatic seat assignment during online registration, changing the seat typically incurs a fee. This contrasts with practices of some Russian airlines where seat changes during online check-in are often free.
