A Turkish Airlines Denver to Istanbul flight was canceled after a reported mechanical problem, and two passengers paid $512 for a hotel themselves.
Turkish Airlines canceled an evening Denver to Istanbul flight on May 30 after a mechanical problem, according to a passenger account [1]. The passengers paid $512 for an airport hotel after being told no vouchers were available [1].
The flight was delayed several hours because of what passengers were told was a mechanical problem. They boarded at around 11:30 p.m., taxied to the runway and returned to the gate, and the flight was canceled at around 1 a.m. [1]
Gate agents advised that no hotel vouchers were available and that passengers should find hotels and submit receipts to the airline. The passenger and his wife stayed at the airport Westin, paying $512, including taxes and breakfast, and flew out the next day [1].
The passenger wrote that he had read in The Denver Post that an overflowing lavatory caused the cancellation, while the airline sent a message citing force majeure. He said he submitted receipts online twice and received no response [1]. Another report describes the same sequence of events [3].
The article states that Turkish Airlines' customer service plan says the carrier pays for hotels only if the cause of the cancellation was under its control [1]. A further headline also reports that the airline denied hotel costs [2].
