Infuriating experience.
I was on a flight from IST to JFK. The seat I had originally picked and paid $30 for had a broken TV screen and the charging port didn’t work, so I brought it to the FA’s attention and he moved me next to this lady. She was immediately confrontational saying she paid for the entire row to herself even though the FA said that was a lie. I then sat down and this woman decided to keep putting her dirty shoes on my legs as you can see. I told her THREE TIMES to knock it off and after the fourth time I got up to the FA and asked for the lead FA to come intervene. He did, and he told her to knock it off and she said she wasn’t doing anything. She continued to do it and the FA said there’s no where else they can move me to so I have to suffer. I ended up putting a pillow between us. She kept cursing about me in Turkish to her friend on the phone with henious and vile things that I won’t repeat here.
When we landed, I immediately got up, said a few choice words to her and got off and immediately filed a complaint with Turkish Airlines. It took SEVEN REPLIES for them to actually read my complaint thoroughly, and all they ended up saying was in the future to notify the flight crew as we have no record of the incident. I am LIVID at this entire situation.
