Return Flight's Cancelled

- What happens if your return flight's cancelled? It can be a stressful thing to here at any airport when they announce your return flight from your holiday is cancelled! What happens then? Our flight to Bristol with Easyjet was recently cancelled at Dalaman airport in Turkey (Türkiye) so we thought it would be interesting to record what happened next and how the company dealt with this situation.
6:35 Benim için bizim kadar Türksün, ülkemizi iyisi ile kötüsü ile tanıttığın ve bu topraklarda bizimle yaşadığın için mutluyum. Atatürk'ün söylediği gibi kendini Türk hisseden herkes bizden birisidir. :)
Another issue, Mike, is stray dogs here in Fethiye. It’s been said that some foreigners have left their dogs behind them. We see nice breeds at the streets. People say at holiday regions in Turkey it’s a habit now that people who used to live in Turkey leave their pets behind. If it’s even slightly true it’s very bad. We have a stray dog issue going on for a long time anyway. I saw very nice dogs roaming at the streets the other day.
@@Earlybird159 there is a new law in Turkey To round up dogs keep them for a month and if no one claims them to put them down pretty similar to what we do in the UK and the rest of Europe some people are against this but the dogs in packs can be very dangerous
I'm staying at The Riverside Hotel Dalyan in September,I've stayed there before and I love it. So it was nice to see it on your video even though it wasn't in great circumstances for yourself. I hope you are relaxing now after your nightmare journey.
@@AmandaMole-q1l I really liked the staff that’s why I put the young guy on the video
I am very sorry to hear about your problems, I hope this will be one of those stories with a bad beginning but a very happy ending.
Happened to us 2 years ago also with Easyjet! We actually got on the tarmac, metres away from the plane, crammed in the airport bus. The captain of the plane finally came to tell us he couldn't take us as he was short of crew, and he had to fly back to Gatwick EMPTY due to regulations. We were taken back to baggage reclaim and left wondering what the hell was going on! No EJ staff to be seen. No updates apart from through the app, and we had no data, a nightmare! We got trundled off to a hotel in Dalyan, too. Thankfully there was one member of staff who spoke fluent English as no others did, and my Turkish is limited to basics. We had been awake for almost 24 hrs at this point. We had to rebook our own flights as we'd booked the package holiday through On The Beach. We finally made it home and the first thing I did was make a claim with Easyjet, which they eventually paid! Awful experience 😵💫
I travelled back to the Uk for the first time in 16 years spent living abroad and I had the same nightmare experience with easy jet. Honest to God I can see that countries like Portugal and Spain are better managed and have got better infrastructures than the UK. I’m so glad that I don’t live there anymore especially post Brexit
I'm in several Facebook Turkiye groups and constantly, the absolute worse airline for cancellations and delays is EJ. I use Jet2. The cost maybe more, but I'm willing to pay.
We only fly Jet2 for the same reason, never been let down yet 🫰
I feel your pain !!
The worst thing we found is the lack of information
We had a flight booked from izmir to Manchester one way on Saturday booked in June. On the 25th July they emailed to say it was cancelled and we were offered a flight on the 8th, we said no and they then offered the 13th which still wasn't good for us. They said we could fly via Antalya on the 11th at 7.20am, we said yes and so we stayed at the Hilton next to the airport. When we got to the gate the flight was delayed 30 mins which ment we'd miss our connection in Antalya. This was with Sun Express. There were 15 people with connections and there was staff in Antalya soon as we departed to take us to International terminal and threw passport control and security so we could get our flight which was delayed for us. It was stressful but can't fault the process. Thank goodness we are now home although very tired. Sorry to hear your misfortune with easyjet.
Just few days earlier I was on transit through Dalaman airport, so I went to the only cafateria outside the airport to have some cheap snacks, however when I looked the prices of sandwiches and drinks it astonish me. The cost of small bottle water was 200 lira and to buy a bottle of coke or sandwich will cost you 500 lira and beyond.
I wonder why the government haven't done anything about it. This"s absolutely unacceptable
Made it to Fethiye based on your videos. Could not be happier with this amazing place. Thank you!
Very sorry to heard about this debacle that you and Trudy, as well as your fellow passengers had to endure. Unfortunately, it appears that these so called low-fare airlines fail to run efficiently. Hopefully you’ll be on your way and get to your destination.
Mike.. I admire your ability in Turkish. You've already learnt "zaten".. 😊 You said "Yabancıyım zaten".
You two are so lovely. I love both of you.
Thank you! 😃
There is something weird going on with travel for more than a month now. My sister had return flights Turkish Airlines CPT-IST-JFK with 4.5+5.5+2+2 hours delays. My daughter had flight cancelled (Westjet strike) then bumped off new flight (United). My friend had a booking with Lufthansa, at check-in was told the flight was not paid, then rescheduled and nearly bumped off that flight. As well, we had incidents with taxis, hotels, roads and baggage. Your experience more proof of this tendency. Stay safe, stay home!😊
Iv notice a lot of airline are having flight delayed cancel, my sister how flew with ba to dubia eas cancelled by a day
I like the fella who said "we thought you were a foreigner"
So sorry to hear you had a very terrible flight with easyJet the notorious for letting down passengers with problems I would never fly with easyJet they are one of the worst airlines. Hope you have a great time in Bristol❤
We spend a couple of nights every year at Riverside hotel. We love it.
I've decided to stay in England this summer for the first time. We've been having a great summer over here so you won't miss a thing. I'm already tanned. 😅
Just got back to Stockholm from Bodrum, through Kos as the price was much cheaper. The flight was pleasant altough we had to wait for the plane to take off since there was alot of traffic.
Sorry to hear about your experience, airports and flights always make me feel like cattle, endless waiting in lines and cramped.
But as always , great content from mick and trudie!
EasyJet doesn't look that easy, but the hotel was not bad.
Same situation different flight. 3 weeks ago our flight from dalaman to dublin was cancelled with aer Lingus after waiting at the airport for 4-5 hours and boarding the plane! Best of luck with your situation 🙏
The Turkey flights are always a bit dodgy, either very late night flights or quite a few delays , so I try my best to pay the extra and get the early flights to and from and in all honesty only ever been delayed about 1 hr at most. We are recent converts to holidaying in Turkey ( Mick & Trudy were instrumental in this ) and really kicking ourselves we never went there years ago. We love it there. But, the is not enough wild horses on the planet that could drag us onto a Easy-Jet flight or book with them.
I think at 1:50, when the personnel said you'll get going "after the duty free refunds", it was when you were supposed to give back the stuff you bought, too.
@@BuyrukA yes that’s right 🙈🤣
I hope you are safely back in Bristol 🤲❤ The most important is to be healthy 😊 Life goes on 👍🏻😉 Greetings from Balıkesir Türkiye 😘😘😘
Thanks for sharing your experience
EasyJet, as Mick's name goes, has already found an easy way to do everything 😀😀👌
It is always wonderful to see you both..! ❤❤
It’s good that you remained cool during the ordeal
So sorry for you both and all other passengers. Would never travel with eassyjet.
Love Turkey, your bligs are great.
Traveled with the hundreds of times and only had 1 cancellation
Mick Emmi, first of all , ı am sorry to hear and see what happened during your journey. well as it happens in UK it happens such delays in Türkiye too ı have waited almost 5 hours in a plane as ı remember almost 10 years ago. ı can understand your feeling %1000 percent :) you and your wife such a lovely person hope any delay never becomes again 😉
I'm sorry about what happened to you! All my love from Tunisia❤
Oh dear what a caffufule 😅, never a dull moment, extra night at a lovely location on a positive, still enjoyed watching your vlog. 🤗🙏🤠👱👏
Ohh sorry to hear that,my husband had similar problem with easy(not easy)jet,take care❤
The Riverside hotel is lovely as is Dalyan.
My goodness what a carry on with easyjet glad you guys are ok and managed to get everything sorted, another great video from mick & trudie as always love you guys 😊
So many delays between Glasgow and Stansted lately, dunno what's happening, but I hope they fix it
Thanks for sharing this video with us
you don't mind if things are delayed are cancelled if you can get information and speak to someone from the airline, its like everything in life you get what you pay for nice video
Sizin videolarınızı herzamanki gibi beğenerek izliyorum harika insanlarsınız Edirne'den hayırlı yolculuklar size😊👋🙋💐
2% of all EasyJet flights are cancelled within 24-hours of departure.
Thousands more are cancelled with days, weeks or months notice.
I hope You both can reach Bristol Dear English Uncle Mick and Dear Trudie.🥰😍🤗
Geçmiş olsun selametle gidin iyi yolculuklar.🧿
It happened to us at Antalya also with easy jet. Similar time to you. They also put us up in an awful hotel we then flew out again at 3.00am the next day.
This year there a lot of problems with flight companies it seems like they dont care anymore about people. In Türkiye there is also Ajet becareful dont fly woth them. Last just with two babies our glgiht from Bournemouth to Antalya took 9 hours return was nearly 7 hrs direct flight. I wouldn't bother flying at high season anymore.
Mick amca Eline Emeğine Sağlık Bu Güzel Vlog ve Video İçin Kolay Gelsin Hayırlı İşler Bol Bereketli Kazançların Olsun 👍👍👍👍
A lot of capacity in hotels in Türkiye even in high season. A problem this year because of prices.
Did same to me in June, utter chaos
Oh how i love Trudie ❤ looking at chocolates was very original 😂😂😂
You are most amazing and sweet couple , wish you best hoiday❤
Phew, don’t know how you all stayed so good natured about it. I love Turkey and the Turkish people but Dalaman airport is one of the worst!
Wow, we feel so sorry for you both. love your videos. do you actually still have a place in Bristol? as we thought you lived in Turkyie,. we would love to meet you guys. We are out again in Olu, area for 3 weeks in October. Sorry if that sounds a little weird...lol. We're out in Turkyie 3/4 times a year, traveling around the southwest coast. Keep up the great work you do. All the best. Enjoy Bristol.
This is exactly what happened to me in June, it was Easy again and they cancelled their flights 2 days consecutive days from Dalaman to Gatwick. I’m not contacted by Easy for any compensation as such since then. I’m sure that they really don’t care their customers/passengers. Never again Easy as it’s not really Easy.
Hope you recuperated Mick and Trudie! We had the same- sent all our food and taxi receipts and have heard nothing since mud June! Please update us if you get a refund- our taxi alone was £80 we also sat on the plane for hour and half with nothing offered not even £3 and limited food aboard 😮x
Fun is always guaranteed 🙂
Fly Turkish Airlines (or similar) next time guys - some might say 'all part of the adventure ' but it is frustrating. Thanks for sharing- take care. 😢❤🇦🇺
My sister's experience with Turkish Airlines this month was terrible! Flight delay of 5.5 hours Cape Town - IST, 2 hours IST-JFK, then 2 hours delay JFK-IST, and 4.5 hours IST to Cape Town
@@susan2043Those delays normal nowadays. Skies are crowded.
Hi Guys, hope you guys have recovered well after that traumatic experience! We were on the same flight and just wondered if you guys managed to get any compensation back as we've tried and were told we aren't entitled to anything due to reasons out of the airlines control!
Your inconvenience is fascinating
I always take my own food on board these days. On a recent EasyJet flight we were told that the incoming passengers had eaten everything, so they didn’t have anything available for us. If it wasn’t so pathetic, it would be funny. 😩
A hotel and not tents on the beach?
Oh God what airline easy jet
First delayed for 8 hours I lost my second flight to Toronto Canada still I didn’t get any pay my ticket to Toronto and stayed in airport all night I couldn’t find any hotels around airport two years ago
Last year bought tickets from dalama to Toronto they cancelled my ticket still I waiting money back almost a year
Never even fly easy jet again
I’m sorry for these people working what nice teams
I’m surprise there is not any organization as control and discipline aviation
Filling me with dread as we fly home late Wednesday
@@chrisstephens6194 sorry I didn’t mean to worry you
Arrrh...what a lovely company...ive made up my mind who not to fly with..
@@waynekerrr9027 🤣🤠
Hello ( oh no) same thing happened to us 2 years back 😮. Have a great stay in UK.
EasyJet gave me difficult flight too from Birmingham to Ireland once. 😂
Mick amca başınıza gelenlere çok üzüldüm.Tüm bu olanlar rezalet
Please visit Alton Tower and water rides sir when u reached to the Uk.
We flew to and from Bristol last month with easyjet. Only issue was outbound Sat on tbr tarmac for 2 hours before we took off.
We also stayed at three Riverside Hotel I'm dalyam through choice though. We had a newly refurbished family room it was massive really nice, 2 bathrooms. And was lovely having breakfast by the river with the turtles
And that’s why i don’t use easy jet.
just go and see if they say anything drink the bottle of whisky then go in lol
What was the reason for the cancellation? It seems to be happening more and more with all the airlines now. Travel is not what it used to be😩
@@clarebear321 we never found out
@@mickandtrudie must be costing the airlines a fortune putting people up in hotels. Glad you eventually got to UK safely😁
Legends what a journey what is excepable standards now no communication is lacking needs a over hauled mick
Geçmiş olsun
She still checks the chocolates😃
Happened to me , thought the hotel was near the airport , got to hotel at 21.30 ,restaurant closed at 21.00 . Flight next morning at 4 , next time I stay in airport
Easy Jet, easy come and easy go...
it's a nice adventure guys if you ask me. You've also been in Dalyan which you haven't been there before. Why you guys coming back to the UK this time a year anyway? :)
Thanks for the video
Absolutely disgusting behaviour by easyJet. They can be a mickey mouse airline at times.
omg, this is terrible. The fact that they don't even have a rep to show up and apologize for the inconvenience, is beyond the norm. Maybe they're going bankrupt.
İyi tatiler 🌸
Sorry to hear mate. Stiff upper lip i say.
Sorry, if i missed something, what was the reason for it all being cancelled etc?
Oh the joys of travelling with squezyjet….!,,,😂 😂😂
sh*t happens Mick. but what we Turks say for this kind of situations is, there is always something good for you, behind the bad thing. for instance; a man missed the flight because he went to drink a cup of coffee. he was very upset sitting at the coffee shop. what he didn't know is he was about to meet with his true love sitting behind him.
Yes, that’s a good way of thinking of it 🤣🤠
Easy Jet is the main reason of my plane fobia.
Love your videos
you should try jet2 next time
What a nightmare
Hey guys! Good luck with your flight
I’ve got a question. Currently I’m at Fethiye. Something very much weird got my attention. There’s no single British in here. A gossip is being talked among Turks that The British government called all the Brits to UK
It sounds so cloudy. Did you move back home too?
I’m a Turkish person who lives at the capital. Whatever the reason behind this I’m happy because now foreigners being away from here makes the shopkeepers here very much needy to us, Turks. They didn’t use to be nice to domestic tourists as they did with foreigners. Now with empty stores they greet us with smiling and desperate faces. Well, I guess it’s karma shit
Note: I’m not even talking about super expensive goods, food and accommodation.
Now vacant hotels, rental houses, empty restaurants and stores, they are, unfortunately, paying back underestimating us as domestic tourists. The only thing they have left is “gurbetçiler”.
No, we’ve not moved back. We’re just visiting family, but there has been a move by expats to go back to the UK because the residency has become more difficult for foreigners all foreigners not just Brits, and prices have all gone up as you know, similar prices in the UK now 🤠
@@mickandtrudieyes, it makes sense, Turkey is a very expensive country after all.
My neighbours flight was cancelled last month. Same route same airline due to lack of passengers
They put you up in a hotel and under rules your entitled to a cancellation charge cant remember but works out if your delayed for a few hours your entitled to a payment
🇹🇷👍👍
I,'d never fly Easyjest or Ryanair it would be my worst nightmare
Oh, the joys of travelling on low cost carriers, Mick 😂 Next time, fly with Turkish Airlines for a far superior travel experience ! 👍
Easyjet arent really a low cost airline anymore though, by the time you have added on your baggage fees and chosen a decent seat, there can be little difference in the ticket prices.
İf only it was that simple, which it is not.
Flying generally has become much more chaotic and unpredictable and unpleasant - especially since the COVID panic.
Re Turkish Airlines. From my experience they are not better.
Yesterday I had a flight booked with Turkish from Istanbul to Dalaman. I checked in 90 Minutes before scheduled departure, to find I was on standby. When I arrived at the departure gate there were 10-12 people on standby. İn other words, Turkish Airlines sold 10-12 more tickets for this flight than available seats. This is clearly ridiculous. Myself and one other lucky passenger on standby got a seat, the remainder were stranded in Istanbul until....
Case two. My flight previous flight with Turkish in May from Australia to Istanbul to Dalaman was equally poorly organised.
I won't list all the problems here, except to say we were told there was a scheduled 50min stop over in Singapore. All passengers - some hundreds - had to get off the plane, line up, go through Singapore security screening and passport check, then held in a large glass holding pen with no toilets. The flight departed over 2 hours late, the pilot made no attempt to make up for the late departure (as most airlines do try to make up time after late departures on long haul international flights) so we arrived over 2 hours late in Istanbul and I missed the connecting flight.
I was annoyed since I consider it dishonest to have a scheduled stopover of 50 min that was clearly going to be much, much longer.
So from my experience Turkish Airlines is not better than other airlines, unfortunately.
@@stevegulseren1078 That's true ! Their ridiculously low fares are usually misleading and by the time all the "add ons" are included often there is little difference to a "full fare" scheduled air-line ticket ! 👍🤣
@@sjr8449 Unfortunately, ALL airlines sell MORE tickets than there are seats in the anticipation that some passengers do not show up, hence the importance of checking in early for the flight. When over-booking does occur the airline will usually ask for volunteers to take the next flight in return for a cash payment or upgrade etc. This is common airline practice 🤣
@@sjr8449 Was your connecting flight in Istanbul with Turkish Airlines and with the same reservation number ? If so, then THEY were responsible and should have taken care of you by arranging food / Hotel etc in Istanbul until the next available flight to your final destination 🤔
Why was your flight cancelled?
@@stewarthunter8793 the staff didn’t know and no one told us 🤠
Easyjet are doing this all the time with flights to and from Greece. I understood they are short of pilots because they sacked them when covid came along. I have no trouble with Ryanair - they kept their staff on the payroll.

(Probably)
@@Pyjamarama11 that’s an unusual comment
@@mickandtrudie I'd rather train or car if possible
The pleasure was squeezed out of flying after 9-11 and has gotten worse ever since
And....................Thats EasyJet Airlines in a Nutshell. OK, when it works but Diabolical when it does not. They should be ashamed of the service offered to you and the rest of the stranded pax, but they are not, as they just don't care. Oh Staveros, come back!!
Normally I am quite polite with my comments, not this time though.
1. Why do you not take Turkish airlines
2. Why do you take holidays to the UK (family, being decease or even death?)
3.Good that you have enough cash to travel
4.Good that you have energy (same for your wife)
5. Do not complain, small issues emerge.
6. What people think they are entititled to cheap holidays (I have never any problems, apart from one or two business trips (if business class))
7. ...
For us it’s not a holiday and we have lots of family still in the UK that we visit my dad for instance is 98 years old still alive and sometimes I go to see him, our grown-up children also live in the UK! Turkish airlines don’t fly to where we want to go Without flying 1st to Istanbul, and by the way this is not a complaint it’s just showing what happens actually if you watch the full film, it’s sort of advertising Dalyan 🤠
@@mickandtrudie even business or 1st Turkish is affordable for most
You're lucky you got a seat.😂
