"the worst customer service ever"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | The worst airport ever. 3 lots of security checks. The rudest staff I've ever come across. When we were about to board my partners boarding pass flagged up an issue on their computer but they never explained what this was. Rude and argumentative. Took us back through passport control still with no explanation. Nearly missed our flight due to an issue that was never explained to us, every time we asked what the issue was they ignored us, spoke in their own language, laughed at us. The stress and anxiety this caused us, ended our trip horribly after been away for a wedding. Will never ever go to turkey again!! Be prepared for the worst customer service ever!

"Worst airport I've ever been in"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Worst airport I've ever been in. Security check straight after coming inside. Needed to chuck water away. In total three times security checks. Staff don't know how to smile, totally opposite what we seen in hotel.

"Encountered the rudest staff"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Second time arriving and departing from this horrible airport. Don't believe the positive reviews. Encountered the rudest staff with an aggressive attitude. Very little organisation from Turkish staff. Very little assistance offered and no-one speaks English or pretends not to. Horrid airport. Avoid if possible.

"Such a brilliant airport"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Such a brilliant airport, everyone was so friendly and helpful when me and my son had to go home early because we didn’t have our luggage, an amazing guy that works there couldn’t do enough for us and looked after us and made us so welcome, I would definitely come back to this amazing airport, don’t get that treatment in the UK, thank you to all you lovely people that work at this airport.

"Very backward service from a modern airport"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | My family were travelling back to the UK. We arrived at the airport at 15.30 and after check-in went to get something to eat. We were travelling with my 9 year old Granddaughter who wanted McDonalds or Burger King. We split up and queued at both fast food restaurants for 30 minutes to then be told that there was no food by both! They said they only had drinks but no food left. This seemed unbelievable but I guess for Turkey it's the norm as the staff just shrugged their shoulders. Asked why they made us queue for so long to find out they said they had announced they had run out of food but only in Turkish. Very backward service from a modern airport.

"over the top security arrangement"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Many people have complained about the poor quality and overpriced food. This is something I generally, 'price in' to airports and in this respect Dalaman is no different to many airports. The issue I have with this place is the disrespectful and often aggressive attitude of the staff and completely over the top security arrangement. Arrival was ok and fairly efficient I would say. On our return though, the whole experience was nightmarish. Massive slow moving queues at the bag drop that seemed to be caused by staff wanting to check lots of unnecessary details. When we finally got to the front of the queue, the young woman operating the bag drop insisted we were a party of 4, even though we were a party of 5 and we had to go through all of our holiday paperwork with her. She seemed to find this amusing. Going through security was hellish - the staff man handle you, laugh with each other as they aggressively throw your belongs about and the most interaction you get is a sneer or a surly nod. They really seemed to dislike us though I won't assume to know the reason. The bag Xray as you enter the airport and the prison like security ordeal are still not enough though. Once you get to the boarding gates there is a 'random' bag check whereby 90% of passengers are directed to some tables where all hand luggage is systematically searched and tested and further body searches are carried out. I really enjoyed my holiday in Turkey - great food, most of the people we encountered were very pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. However, I will never return to Turkey again.

"I was left shaken and crying"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Absolutely disgusted by the treatment of airport staff, rude and vile people. I set off the buzzer so sent me through again and buzzed again. Was man handled into x-ray which seemed fine. Went back to get my bag and was screamed at again to go over and get swabbed which was clear much to the staffs fury so they did it again, still clear and the staff screamed at me to go away lady. I was left shaken and crying, my son was traumatised and wouldn't leave my side after it. It ruined a great holiday and I will never set foot in this place again. Disgusting people!

"disgusted at the treatment"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | After spending a lovely week in Turkey I was disgusted at the treatment at the airport. All staff we came across were extremely rude. There are not enough toilets. One toilet for male and one female. They were dirty. Cost my husband €17 for a can of coke. Why all of a sudden did we have to pay in euros, when everywhere else is Turkish lira? So expensive. Not one member of staff we came across were pleasant. Spoilt my lovely week. Couldn’t wait to get out of Turkey. Staff need to be more friendly and they need to sort the toilet situation out and bring their prices down a a reasonable price.
