Visas et transports de Syrie en Égypte English translation pending
Je sais bien que les reponses viennent les unes apres les autres en voyage, je sais aussi que je pourrai trouver toutes mes reponses en dechiffrant tous les messages mais voila si vous pouvez me repondre direct - que de temps gagne...
Alors j'ai quitte la France voila 6 mois tout doucement et je suis en Bulgarie avec mon sac. Je desire continuer d'avancer cet hiver mais vers le Sud. Peut-on avoir les visas Syrie-Liban-Jordanie (je crois qu'on peut avoir ce visa a la frontiere)-Egypte a Ankara (ou Istanbul) ? excusez mon ignorance-premiers visas. Existe-t-il un passage a Agapa pour l'Egypte ? ou sinon un bateau Berouth-Alexandrie ? Puis un bateau Egypte-Crete ou grece ?
et enfin tant que j'y suis, quelqu'un connait-il une petite adresse sympa et evidement prix cheaper a Istanbul, c'est grand et avec 20 kilos sur le dos, c'est chiant de chercher.
Evidement je n'ai pas de routard ni autre guide...trop de pays, trop de circonstances. Je prefere etre guide par les gens...
merci d'avance et bien content d'apprendre a voyager aujourd'hui!
Voyage en Turquie English translation pending
Bijour tous le monde,
Voilà nous partons avec mon copain en Turquie dans 15 jours et nous y restons 2 semaines 1/2. nous avons décidé de voyager en bus.
J'avoue que ces derniers jours j'avè un peu la trouille de partir du fait des attentats car je suis allé sur le site du ministère et ils disent qu'il y a encore eu des attentats mais bon g lu vos discussions sur le forum et ça m'a un peu rassuré.
on envisage de faire un le "tour" c'est-à-dire Istanbul, Cappadoce, le sud et l'ouest (efes, Priene, une presqu'île en face de celle de Bodrum) et j'aimerais savoir dans quel sens il faut qu'on le face sachant qu'on arrive et qu'on repard d'Istanbul.
ensuite est-ce qu'il vaut mieux longer la côte dans le sud ou bifurquer dans le centre vers Konya ? Est-ce que ça vaut le coup de faire un détour sur Pamukale ??
A Istanbul parait-il que ça vaut le coup de voir Istanbul du Bosphore mais par quel organisme ou autre peut-on s'adresser là-bas ?
Merci désolé pour ces nombreuses questions. c déjà bien si vous répondé au moins à une.

Uzak primé à Cannes! English translation pending
Hier soir je suis allé au cinéma avec ma copine pour voir uzak. En plus c'est en VO et ma copine apprend le turc!!
Je trouve qu'on se lasse assez vite, meme si l'intrigue est bonne, mais à la fin on se langui que cela se termine, dommage... La chute n'est pas terrible car on cogite sur la fin et sur les fins des personnages. Je ne me suis pas ennuyé mais je ne me suis pas regalé non plus.
Qui a vu le film???

Turquie en avril (séjour organisé ou billet sec) English translation pending
Bonsoir à tous
Nous aimerons découvrir la Turquie la dernière semaine d'avril et nous sommes dans le début de nos recherches. Nous nous demandions s'il est préférable de partir en voyage organisé ou uniquement de prendre le billet d'avion et de faire son circuit soi-meme. Nous sommes interessés de tous les conseils que vous pouvez nous donner.

Trajet en Turquie English translation pending
Bonjour tout le monde,
je souhaiterais partir en Turquie du 24 avril au 6 juin cette année avec un cousin. Nous cherchons des idées de trajet sachant que nous ferions l'aller-retour de Paris en avion pour profiter des 6 semaines entières. Si notre trajet ne fait pas une boucle, savez-vous d'où nous pouvons reprendre l'avion à l'Est de la Turquie pour le retour ?
D'autre part, nous voudrions voir Istanbul, la côte Sud-Ouest et les montagnes du Nord-Est. Y a-t-il d'autres lieux incontournables ?
Quel est le moyen le plus économique et sympa de se déplacer en Turquie ?
Nous souhaiterions aussi passer 8-10 jours dans un village pour vivre un peu au rythme des habitants. Où trouver les villages les plus accueillants ?
J'ai entendu parler d'habitats troglodytes exceptionnels. Savez-vous où je peux les trouver ?
Merci pour tout !
Guillaume

Pistes cyclables d'Europe English translation pending
Salut la cyber-compagnie,
Je débarque à Paris vers la mi-août. Mon billet d'avion est un aller-simple et j'ai un peu d'argent de côté, alors bonjour l'aventure. J'entretiens le rêve de me rendre jusqu'en Asie, mais je ne me fais pas d'illusions car je suis un cycliste de promenade plutôt qu'un athlète. Je me suis donc donné pour premier objectif de faire Paris-Prague-Budapest-Istanbul. Je préconise un mode de voyage très économique, c'est pourquoi j'aurai tout le nécessaire pour le camping.
Voici les questions que j'adresse aujourd'hui:
1. Est-il raisonnable de penser à pédaler dès mon arrivée à l'aéroport Charles-de-Gaules? C'est-à-dire, est-ce que je tomberai rapidement sur des paysages hospitaliers et propices à dresser une tente, ou alors est-ce que je rêve en couleur et que je devrais plutôt prendre un train pour un petit bout de chemin?
2. Comment puis-je m'informer sur le réseau de pistes cyclable d'europe?
Je suis ouvert à faire un bout de chemin avec d'autres s'il y a des intéressés. Mon itinéraire est loin d'être coulé dans le béton. J'ai toute la vie devant moi, mes seules limites son budgétaires!
Au Plaisir!😏

Kyrgyzstan: Practical Information 2026
Recent information about this country is scarce, so I’m starting this post in addition to my travel journal to help fill the gap.
- Which airline from Europe?
Turkish Airlines seems like an excellent option. The price is very reasonable (just over 500 €), the layover isn’t too long, the in-flight comfort is decent (great movie selection), and the planes are modern. Plus, the price automatically includes 30 kilos of luggage, which is perfect for campers.
The downside: the outrageous prices at Istanbul Airport.
- Bishkek Airport
The airport is under full reconstruction. It’s chaotic. There are SIM card vendors upon arrival, but no currency exchange or ATMs in the baggage claim area. You’ll find those in the departures section, which means you have to exit and re-enter under the current setup.
Personally, I pre-booked a VTC with my hotel for the transfer to the city. (Prices vary depending on the hotel’s standard—1200 soms for mine.)
There are taxis and a bus available.
- Entry Requirements
No visa is required for French citizens for stays of up to 30 days.
- Currency
The currency is the som, and the conversion is easy—just divide by 100...
You can get soms by exchanging euros (dollars are useless) or by withdrawing from an ATM. Some ATMs charge fees. Those from Mbank and Optimabank are fee-free.
The maximum withdrawal is usually 20,000 soms.
Bills come in 5000, 1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, and 20 soms.
Coins: 10, 5, 3, and 1 som.
- Paying
Card payments are accepted in supermarkets like Globus, some restaurants, gas stations of major chains (Bishkek Petroleum, Partner Neft, Red Petroleum), some hotels, national park entrances, tolls, etc.
But it doesn’t always work.
So always carry cash with you!
If the card works, great—otherwise, it’s back to the old days of wads of bills.
- Cost of Living
It’s really cheap (gas, affordable restaurants even at a decent standard, hotels, souvenirs, fruits, vegetables, water, bread...). For example, a lagman costs only 3.20 €, fixing a flat tire is 3.5 €, a full hour-long wash for a filthy 4x4 is 6 €, washing a big bag of laundry is 3 €, and a liter of 95-octane gas is 0.86 €...
On the pricier side: guesthouses and meals in guesthouses. The value for money is poor. I paid 40 € for a mediocre room with a very basic shared bathroom, while a double with AC, private bathroom, and fridge in a non-touristy hotel cost 20 €... Meals in guesthouses are the worst I’ve eaten and often the most expensive. Plus, they’re very light—don’t expect to fill up after a long day of hiking!
Car rentals are also quite expensive (70 $ per day for a RAV4 in my case).
In short, for two people, excluding accommodation and car rental, we spent an average of 45 € per day (groceries, restaurants, guesthouse dinners, souvenirs, paid activities, gas).
The trip cost us 2200 € per person all-inclusive for 3 weeks on the ground. Roughly 1/4 for the flight, 1/4 for the car, 1/4 for accommodation, and 1/4 for everything else.
- Getting Around
I’ve met cyclists, motorcyclists, people renting cars, those who drove their own vehicles from Europe, and others using public transport and taxis.
Personally, I chose to rent a car.
If you’re not planning long hikes or multi-day horse treks, it’s a great option for exploring the country.
Each car rental company has its own list of forbidden tracks. Make sure your planned route is allowed! Don’t think about ignoring this—vehicles are equipped with GPS trackers...
An international driver’s permit is required.
Police and speed cameras are everywhere, so it’s best to respect the signs (daytime running lights, seatbelts, 40-60 km/h in populated areas, 90 km/h on roads, zero tolerance for alcohol).
Locals have a unique driving style, and it can be dangerous on main roads (they overtake recklessly...). Like in Greece, South Africa, or Malta, a two-lane road is treated as a three-lane one. You pull over to let others pass or to let oncoming traffic overtake.
Without a car (at least a pseudo-4x4), you won’t be able to go everywhere. This country is a nature destination, but nature isn’t always accessible by public transport.
If a spot is near a road, great—the bus will get you almost to the door. Otherwise, you’ll need to hire an agency or take a taxi.
Cyclists will face steep climbs and dust. I’d advise avoiding main roads as much as possible—traffic isn’t on your side...
Motorcyclists will also eat a lot of dust and should research gas stations along their route (this advice also applies to vehicles running on 95-octane).
There’s a 95-octane pump in Kazarman and Gulcha.
Bikes and motorcycles have an advantage over cars, even 4x4s, as they can access some very remote tracks that other vehicles can’t (hikers and horses can obviously take them too!).
Be careful: some areas require a permit (border zones). Research this well in advance—the formalities don’t take an hour or even a day!
Be warned: Google Maps is completely unreliable (it shows roads that don’t exist, routes you through difficult tracks instead of paved roads, etc.). It’s essential to download Maps.me in advance. This app is much more reliable for this country, works offline, and is handy for hiking navigation.
A reminder: horseback riding is like cycling... If you’re not used to it or naturally padded in the right places, your backside will suffer in no time!
Think carefully before embarking on a multi-day trek!
Finally, this country is a kingdom of construction... The Chinese have taken over the market to improve truck circulation and are paving everywhere. (Good news: the Kazarman-Osh section via the tunnel is finally open in summer, even if the road isn’t quite finished.)
- Eating
I had prejudices about Kyrgyz food.
I was both wrong and right.
Supermarkets don’t offer much that’s appealing for picnics. It’s cheap, filling food, full of junk, and not gourmet. If you follow Yuka, I think you’ll be on a diet the whole trip. Bringing some pâté, sausages, or freeze-dried meals for certain nights is a good idea...
Guesthouse dinners consist of the eternal cucumber-tomato salad, a soup, and a light noodle or rice dish where you’ll be searching for the meat... Usually tough and unidentifiable. Beef? The bread is stale, and there’s no dessert or fruit.
Breakfasts always revolve around eggs or porridge... The homemade jam is usually good.
Tea is the number one drink, followed by kompot (a fruit-based drink), Coke, and Fanta.
If you want real coffee, bring your own—it’s very rare.
On the other hand, you eat well in restaurants. Lagman (homemade noodles, vegetables, spices, and usually beef), crispy eggplant, kuurdak (a kind of lamb stew with potatoes), kebabs, plov (pilaf rice with onions, carrots, and meat), and rainbow trout... For dessert? Nada!
And alcohol?
It’s available in all Globus stores: beer, wine, spirits, and you can consume your purchases in some guesthouses (depending on the owner’s religious tolerance). It’s also available in some restaurants (Bishkek, Karakol, Osh...).
The deadly specialty?
White fermented milk balls called kurut. If you think a raw-milk camembert is strong, steer clear! This is more like an old, dry, spicy goat cheese.
- Accommodation
In remote areas, it’s better to check availability on Booking a few days in advance rather than showing up last minute with high hopes.
Booking and Airbnb only offer a small portion of what’s available.
Not necessarily guesthouses, but mostly accommodations aimed at locals (business or leisure travel).
These places are generally more comfortable. There’s even some upscale options.
So it’s necessary to scour Google Maps or Yandex Maps... These accommodations are usually found on Instagram, and WhatsApp is handy for booking!
Prices are a bit of a lottery. So is the comfort. From 20 to 80 € for a double, usually with a private bathroom. (Average around 40 €). These rates are for mid-range options.
Otherwise, this country is a paradise for wild camping. In a camper van, rooftop tent, or ground tent... There are beautiful spots everywhere!
- Climate
I thought it would be quite cool/cold at altitude.
I packed too many warm clothes...
If you’re not doing high-altitude treks or sleeping in a tent, there’s no need to overload yourself with winter gear.
A good fleece, a windproof rain jacket, and technical base layers will be enough.
It only got really cold in the evenings at Song Kul Lake and Tash Rabat, and the yurts are equipped with thick blankets and a stove.
Elsewhere, temperatures ranged from 15 to 30 °C.
In short, I used the AC more than the heater! (It’s hard to drive with the windows open unless you want to be covered in dust in no time...)
- Communication
I bought an eSIM before the trip with a data plan for Kyrgyzstan (Beeline network). Perfect for communicating via WhatsApp right after landing, but this network isn’t the best in Kyrgyzstan.
We then got a physical SIM card with an unlimited one-month plan (less than 4 € including the SIM) at a Mega store downtown. This network is much better, and you get coverage in all cities and most villages. Usually in the mountain passes too.
To make yourself understood, it’s essential to download Google Translate with French, Kyrgyz, Russian, and English options.
Very useful for translating menus, signs, and communicating with locals.
Hosts and other tourism professionals will even pull out their phones to communicate with non-Russian speakers.
The police too...
- Religion
There’s a noticeable difference between the north and the southwest of the country.
In the north, it’s a bit like Albania. People are Muslim by culture but not really by religion.
In the southwest, radical Islam is growing. Mosques are more numerous and imposing. Men are more bearded, women more veiled.
For travelers, religion isn’t an issue except for the near-total absence of pork.
There’s Russian sausage, but reading the ingredient list, it’s more like a one-way ticket to cancer than an Auvergne dry sausage...

You can find the detailed account of the trip here.

August Photo Contest Discussion: Religious Buildings
Pressed for time due to a full house of kids, grandkids, and cats, I decided to go with a general theme. Everyone has photos of religious buildings, so architectural variety is guaranteed. Just a reminder—I’m asking for exterior shots only, either wide-angle or detailed views.

Hi,
I bought my flight ticket with my first (usual) first name, which appears first on my passport. However, I have two first names on my passport, and of course, it’s mentioned in the machine-readable zone at the bottom.
I booked with Turkish Airlines (through an online agency) for a trip to South Korea.
I wanted to know if it would be a problem that I only used my first first name on the ticket, while my passport has two. I had requested through the agency to add the second first name, but the airline refused because it doesn’t meet their general conditions. (They must have seen that the last name and first name were the same, and only the second first name was added.)
So, my ticket has my last name and first first name correctly spelled, and when I check in online, I’ll enter the passport details correctly.
I’ll have a layover in Istanbul on the flight.
Thanks in advance for your replies. Have a great day.

I booked with Turkish Airlines (through an online agency) for a trip to South Korea.
I wanted to know if it would be a problem that I only used my first first name on the ticket, while my passport has two. I had requested through the agency to add the second first name, but the airline refused because it doesn’t meet their general conditions. (They must have seen that the last name and first name were the same, and only the second first name was added.)
So, my ticket has my last name and first first name correctly spelled, and when I check in online, I’ll enter the passport details correctly.
I’ll have a layover in Istanbul on the flight.
Thanks in advance for your replies. Have a great day.
Mumbai - Nashik - Gokarna in October 2025
Hello everyone,
I’ve booked a round-trip flight to Mumbai from October 4th to 24th, 2025. I haven’t finalized my itinerary yet, but my plan is to spend 2 nights in Mumbai (hotel booked in Colaba), a few nights in Nashik, and then head down to Gokarna. I’m a young-at-heart sixty-something who stays very active and loves traveling. This will be my third trip to "southern" India, so I know what to expect in terms of cultural differences. Plus, my native language is English, so I have no trouble understanding or being understood, no matter the accent over there. I’d be happy to meet up and share some moments with you—young or not-so-young—if you’re up for it.
See you soon, I hope!
Charlie

Traveling to Madagascar with Neos
Hi there, we’re planning a trip to Nosy Be next summer and we’ve come across Neos Air, which offers direct flights from Rome and Milan. It looks really appealing, but how reliable are they, especially in terms of punctuality—particularly for evening departures?
Which airline offers the best value for money to Madagascar?

Are there flights arriving in Urgench and returning from Tashkent?
Hello,
As a senior woman, I’m planning a 3-week solo trip (late April or early May) to explore the country by public transport, visiting the main cities (Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand), the Ferghana Valley, and if possible, the Aral Sea.
I’m reaching out to the community to see if there are flights arriving in Urgench and returning from Tashkent—or the other way around?
Thanks in advance to anyone with insights! 😉
A Turquoise Dream Come True in Uzbekistan - 2022
We took this trip from September 12 to October 7, 2022. I didn’t post this travel journal earlier in Voyage Forum because the site wasn’t back up yet (and also because I was short on time).
Then, at the end of 2024, I made a promise to a friend: to publish my travel journal on VF. So here it is!
We took off from Paris in the late afternoon on September 12 and arrived in Tashkent around 7:15 AM on the 13th.
This trip was the result of long contemplation and preparation (it was originally planned for the year of the lockdown (2020) and was prepared with the help and advice of Nasrullo Jumanov from Turquoise Travel.

September 13
At the airport exit, we were greeted by the owner of our B&B (B&B Gulnara).
Today was all about recovery and our first steps in the capital. Our first currency exchange made us feel like sudden millionaires.
Our first stroll down the avenue leading to Chorsu Market introduced us to the fact that 80 to 90% of the cars here are white Chevrolets.
A walk under the arcades facing Chorsu: hardware stores, cabinetmakers, lute makers (one of them gave me a little concert/demo of a few string instruments).


As we entered the market, many vendors called out to us, including this florist who asked where we were from: ‘France? Ah! Macron! PSG!’ He then recited a list of players from the Parisian team as well as past (Platini, Zidane, etc.) and current (Giroud, Griezmann, Mbappé, etc.) French national team players. Since we’re more into rugby (we live near Toulouse), he knew more players than I did!
The market sprawls outside around the large circular, multi-story hall. We bought some grapes and bottles of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice for just a few sums. This evening, we had a meet-up with Nasrullo. The reunion was very warm: we’d been exchanging messages for over two years, and I’d been ‘torturing’ him with changes to our itinerary and trip duration. We were finally eager to meet, and honestly, I wasn’t disappointed—in fact, it was the opposite. Nasrullo was very attentive throughout our trip and always made sure, even from a distance (and most often from a distance!), that everything went smoothly. His goal was for us to leave delighted with our trip and, why not, indirectly become ambassadors for this destination. September 14 Breakfast with Nasrullo, then we set off with him by taxi to explore some of the capital’s sites.

We started by visiting the Khazrati Imam complex, which includes the mausoleum of Kaffal Shashi, the Barak Khan and Muyi Muborak madrasas, and the great Khazrati Imam Mosque with its immense prayer hall.


In the Muyi Muborak madrasa, now a museum, you can see the oldest Quran in the world. It was written by three religious scholars, including the secretary of the Prophet Muhammad, on large ‘pages’ made of antelope skin. Next, we explored Soviet-era Tashkent, discovering its parks, canals, and squares: Independence Square with its storks and phoenixes, Amir Temur Square with its large statue and, in the background, the massive Soviet-era hotel that has become one of Tashkent’s iconic buildings. Nasrullo took us through Broadway Boulevard and along what he calls ‘Tashkent’s Montmartre’… Well, it’s far, very far from Montmartre (in every sense of the word!). Then we took the metro to Chorsu station. Rush hour is pretty much the same everywhere in the metro… When we arrived at Chorsu, it was time to say goodbye. Nasrullo had to head back to Samarkand. Before leaving, he recommended some chaikhanas at the end of the galleries facing the market. We ate there for just a few euros (2 or 3 € for two people). After eating, we headed back to our room to cool off (our B&B is about a 10-minute walk away).

Around 4 PM, we set off to visit the Kokeldash Madrasa, which is still active. On the way, we stopped to watch some bread vendors and take a few photos. We were hesitating about buying some for our evening picnic when a young woman approached us. In perfect English, she asked: ‘Are you looking for something? Do you want to buy bread? Which one? How much?’ She then spoke to one of the vendors and negotiated the price. ‘Do you want one?’ And she took two. She paid directly. I took out my wallet to reimburse her, but she refused. It’s on the house! Then the vendor asked where we were from. And off we went again: Macron, PSG, football players… We’ll have to get used to it. The young woman smiled at the questions and comments, barely gave us time to thank her, and left as quickly as she had approached us.
We continued our walk. Visited the madrasa. Then we crossed the boulevard to see the Tashkent Circus. I would’ve loved to go in and visit, but the ticket seller wouldn’t hear of it. We carried on around what should’ve been a park with old-fashioned rides and attractions. All we found was a construction site. Oh well! Back at our hotel, a message from Nasrullo was waiting for us. He had managed to change our train ticket for the next day. Instead of taking the 6:00 AM train, we’d take the 8:00 AM one. And instead of second class, we’d be in first class! Great! This evening, we had a picnic at one of the breakfast tables in the B&B courtyard. Under a shelter, the owner and his family were celebrating a birthday. The owner started by offering us some tea. Then they brought us some fruit (watermelon and melon). Finally, after the song, candles, and cake cutting, they brought us two generous slices of that beautiful birthday cake. Delicious!

Flights Cameroon-Bolivia: Which airlines?
Hi there, I'm Cameroonian and I'd like to know if there's a reliable airline where someone can buy their flight ticket and travel without any issues from Cameroon to Bolivia.
From France to Mecca by Bike
Assalamu 'alaykum,
Hi everyone,
This thread is to echo some posts I’ve read on this forum while researching a potential bike trip from Annecy to Mecca. I came across several discussions where members mentioned being very interested in cycling to the holy city.
So, God willing, I plan to attempt this journey from January to June next year. The idea is to head to Turkey first, then assess the most reasonable routes based on the geopolitical situation around Palestine and as far as Iraq. Since the Turkish-Syrian border is closed, the only remaining (and I mean *only* remaining) overland option would be to go through Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraq, then Jordan, and finally Saudi Arabia.
That’s the first major challenge of this project. The second is timing. Due to the schedule, I’ll be starting in the middle of winter across Europe and finishing in the peak of summer in Saudi Arabia. If I’d had a choice, I’d have waited a good dozen years—but well, twelve years...
I won’t go into too much detail about the planned route in this post, but here are the broad strokes already set: Annecy to Istanbul. The rest is a bit too far ahead to map out properly. Crossing the Italian border via the Montgenèvre Pass. Straight through northern Italy as quickly as possible (not necessarily very pleasant) to reach Ljubljana. The fastest route through Croatia to spend as much time as possible in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Serbia via the Sandžak region. It crosses the Pešter plateau, which intimidates me at this time of year—its nickname, the "Siberia of the Balkans," says it all... Then Kosovo, North Macedonia, Greece, and Turkey.
I’m open to any advice on this itinerary. The choice was made to pass through as many Muslim-majority regions as possible. In the middle of winter in the Balkans, I don’t feel mentally up to bivouacking alone in that climate. So, I’ll try to find accommodations in mosques or even with locals as much as possible.
That’s the project in a nutshell. The big catch—some of you may have already noticed—is that I’m doing this solo. Yet, this is strongly discouraged by our Prophet—peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. So, I invite anyone interested in joining this project, whether closely or from afar, to reach out and contact me. Any contribution is welcome, whether it’s company for the whole journey (one can always hope!) or just part of it. Advice, contact suggestions, places to stay, and information about Hajj or Umrah are also appreciated.
Thanks for reading this far. I’ll try to check my VoyageForum account from time to time to see if anyone has responded to this thread and will happily reply to your messages and questions.
Take care, Assalamu'alaykum.

Qui a été remboursé par Turkish Airlines? English translation pending
Suite à l'annulation d'un vol prévu le 28 mars, Turkish Airlines m'a proposé un remboursement intégral. J'ai donc fait la démarche en ligne le 20 mars dernier et j'ai bien eu la confirmation que ma demande avait été acceptée avec le détail du montant qui me sera remboursé.
A ce jour, je n'ai pas encore reçu le remboursement mais il était indiqué que cela pouvait prendre jusqu'à 30 jours donc j'attends encore.
Est-ce que quelqu'un ici a également demandé un remboursement de la part de Turkish Airlines et l'a déjà reçu ? Cela pourrait être intéressant qu'on se tienne au courant pour voir si les personnes qui avaient comme moi demandé un remboursement l'ont obtenu.

Escale en Turquie de 9 heures et question sur les bagages English translation pending
Bonsoir, (bagages+kilos des bagages)
J'ai une question sur mon escale en Turquie, qui va me prendre 9 heures. La dernière fois , j'étais étonné de partir de nuit, à 2 heures du matin ou presque, on m'a dit que c'était normal. Cet aéroport a un battement spécial, et ne ferme pas vraiment la nuit. Il y a un tout petit moment de repos seulement. Bref, je vais poser la question sur mes bagages. Pensez-vous que comme c'est une escale, ils suivront avec ma destination finale, ou comme l'escale est de 9 heures, je vais devoir aller les chercher? La question peut paraître bête comme çà.... Je pense demander au comptoir, mais les voyageurs habitués pourront me répondre directement. Turkish Airlines. Et ils me disent deux bagages, mais ils ne me disent pas le poids, qui était passé de 21 à 23 kilos possible en 2018 à mon dernier voyage, mais comme je n'ai jamais fait avec eux, je ne sais pas. Mais je demanderai .... Pareil si quelqu'un a l'habitude avec eux, ce serait bien de me confirmer svp, pour me rassurer.

Séparation en deux de mon vol retour Turkish Airlines English translation pending
Bonjour,
Suite à un changement d'horaire sur un vol Turkish Airlines, ma réservation a été "rééditée" et je constate en consultant mon nouveau billet que sur le vol retour (Ho Chi Minh - Luxembourg) le vol a été séparé en deux parties distinctes.
Je n'ai plus deux vols : un aller et un retour mais un vol aller et deux vols distincts au retour.
Cela change t-il quelque chose pour moi ? Dois je me méfier ?
Merci par avance de vos réponses.
