No !! You are not calling official phone number !

Here is official numbers ;

1 - 800 874 8875 For usa calls

+90-850-333-0849 For Turkiye / Turkey calls

Several things don't make any sense to me. Not saying they're "fishy", just seems extremely weird and nonsensical - could be lost in translation. Or it could be a scam. Among the things that make no sense to me:

• Turkish Airlines says your ticket or that flight(?) was cancelled was because you bought a cheap seat? I don't believe that. I'd ask them if the FLIGHT was cancelled, or your TICKET was cancelled, and ask for a better explanation.
• They're offering to cancel it all and re-book you....would that include the leg that was cancelled? How is that possible? I suspect more miscommunication here, or (equally likely) some phone agent is just making up BS because they have no more idea what actually happened than my dog does, or....scam. Ask them if by re-booking, will you be back on your original flight?
• Yes, I would have some skepticism that you are being told the truth, and would wonder who exactly was feeding you this nonsense.
• Sniff, sniff...hey, what's that I smell?...

I just Googled the phone number you say is the "official" number. I see LOTS of posts on social media mentioning that number is the "official" number for multiple (different) airlines, none of which are Turkish Airlines, and also multiple links to scam warnings from the Better Business Bureau and other places. Pretty sure the number you posted is a scammer. Which would explain the nonsense you claim they gave you.

When I go to the Turkish Airlines website, the call center for USA they show is 888-874-8875, not the number you posted.

How exactly did this conversation happen? Did they call you? Did you call them? Where did you get that phone number, and why were you calling them?

I'd give the real Turkish Airlines number I posted above a call (look for it on their website under "Get In Touch" / Contact / Call Centers. Ask them what the heck is going on. I suspect this is all just a scam...but if they can confirm the silly nonsense you were told, then come back and post again, I'll give you my suggestion on what to do with your "extra" day (hint: it's none of the things you mentioned). But I think you should probably edit your post to remove the scammer's phone number.

Good luck, you may need it.

Well goodness! Thank you all! I have changed my password and am calling the airlines now to see what's what. Thankfully no changes were made on my account though it looks like someone did try to enter into my account.
Curious what your suggestion is to do with this extra day before i change any flights!

You need to edit your post to remove the scammer's phone number. Before you do anything else. Please do this now.

Because leaving it here for all the world to see, and for every bot that crawls this website (happens probably thousands of times every day), you are helping the scammers, doing their work for them, and helping to set up their next victim.

Please edit your original post and remove the scammers phone number - nobody needs to see that. Please do this NOW. You leave it up for a day, it helps the scammers by improving their position in search engine like Googles. Don't believe it? Just google that phone number, the search results are full of obvious scam posts pointing to a dozen different airlines. Don't be a part of that.

If you don't remove the scammer's phone number, the webmaster should delete this thread.

I would have thought giving the fake number and saying it was a fake number would actually help. I would have seen that and known. Anyhoo I took it down but still think it could help anyone else who stumbled upon it .

But that's not how the internet works.

Re-posting fraudulent information, even if you add a note saying it's fraudulent, just helps the scammers. It increases the scammers phone number in search engine rankings - which is the primary way they find their victims - so other victims will stumble across it inadvertently when they do a search and call the scammers - which is (I am guessing) exactly how YOU became a victim. So removing the scammers' number is important to reduce the chances of other people being victimized.

So thank you for removing that number from the post.

Before moving on to how else you might spend that day...you still have not explained exactly how you ended up talking to the scammer. Personally I don't care, but it could make a big difference to someone else (and might still be important to you). Are you still working with the scammer? Are you proceeding with your plan based on lies that were told to you by the scammer? I ask that because what they told you (your flight was cancelled because you bought a cheap seat) is complete nonsense. Do you really have an "extra day" (I am questioning that) or are your original flights unchanged? Who told you your flight has been cancelled - the scammer?

You need to ignore EVERYTHING the scammers told you - they are thieves, they are not helping you. Contact Turkish Airlines via their actual phone number (use the number on their website - but make sure it's the real website - it's here:
Turkish Airlines Help Center - scroll down a bit and see the number for their call center.

Ask THEM about the status of your flights. Do you really have an "extra day"?

So with this extra day - should we spend the extra day in Ephesus ( 2 full days) or an extra day in Cappadocia ( 2 and 1/2 full days ) or one more day in Istanbul ( 4 full days).

If you really have an "extra day" (and you're sure the information is coming from the real Turkish Airlines staff), I would not spend 2 full days in Ephesus. I think for most people, a half-day is enough in Ephesis (unless you are very seriously into ancient sights). You might spend that extra day in either Cappadocia or Istanbul (depends on how much time you have in each and your tastes).

If it were me and I had extra time to spend somewhere, I'd spend half a day in Aphrodisias - one of the greatest ancient sites in Turkey, coincidentally not far from Pamukkale, and by the way not terribly crowded. Aphrodisias was one of the highlights of our trip to Turkey. Here, let me google that for you...Aphrodisias, Turkey. Aphrodisias is spectacular, it's huge, and even if you're only mildly interested in ruins, it's easy to spend at least half a day there wandering the huge site.

But before you make any more plans, I suggest you need to get very clear and very confident about your flight information, and make double/triple sure you are working from real information, rather than still being tricked by the scammers. Then decide your priorities.

Good luck, I wish you well. I am done.
