Turkish Airlines is a worldwide carrier connecting a lot of countries. Though Turkey isn’t really as affected as the rest of Asia and Europe, Turkish Airlines canceled a lof of flights. If you ever booked a flight with them, here’s a Step by Step Guide on How to Change Flights or Get Refunds on Turkish Airlines.
To help in not spreading the virus, most airlines are being cooperative and canceling flights. Well, safety is a top priority of Turkish Airlines, so they are offering free cancellations and rescheduling of flights. Read this on how to change your trip or get a refund!
As per the Turkish Airlines website, here are flight cancellations and travel restrictions:
All flights are canceled until April 1, 2020:
This applies to all tickets purchased to all destinations except for domestic flights in Turkey and to/from Ercan Airport (Northern Cyprus):

I hope this guide will help you with your flight cancellations, changes, or getting a refund. It’s a bit annoying that our plans change, but it’s better to stay put and avoid much traveling. Hopefully, there’s a cure on this virus, or spreading will stop before April. Anyway, keep safe, stay healthy, and wash your hands!

Hi, I have booked 3 tickets to travel to UK on 13 July 2020 back on 25 July 2020 ie TK3725098/3725086/3725077. Due to covid, we are not permitted to travel thus have changed to open tickets and supposed to utilize the tickets before 31/12/2021. Since there is still ongoing covid, reluctant to fly this year. Wish to enquire whether the tickets can be extended until December 2022 or can still use the tickets for certain fees. Try to contact local agent phone number but only voice notes. Can you pls help.

Darion says:I have been waiting for a refund for exactly 4 months and 10 days now. Funny thing is, on 14 Apr 2020 I received an email confirming they had issued the agreed refund. I have been following-up on a regular basis since then: through their web forms (around 10 times) and by calling the call centre. I wonder if I will ever receive it, actually. What I do know for sure is that I will never purchase tickets from this airline.

Where did you buy your ticket? If online, you may need to request through their system but if through a travel agency then you need to ask from them.

i know we aren’t the only one but surely they have some insurance also they atol protected
so where is the problem
This article does not really address the main issue: refunds just doesn’t happen. The airline may say they have “queued” you for the refund and then you sit back and wait. And nothing happens. I too have waited for +4 weeks. Bear in mind that refunding is a highly automated process within an airline company. They are used to processing many, many refunds every day, for example for business class tickets. Therefore, my guess would be that under normal circumstances the process is really STP (straight-though-processing) and untouched by human hand, once approved. The only reason why refunding now takes time is because the airline has decided to ACTIVELY delay. It is not because it requires a lot of manual processing. So don’t believe the BS the airline may give you here. I wish airlines would come clean and say that they need to borrow money from consumers during this crisis. At least then we could have a discussion of whether or not this is fair. I don’t think it is. Consumers are also hit by the crisis. If airlines have an immediate liquidity problem it should be solved at state/government level. After all, the consumer has purchased as service which was never delivered. and for which the airline only to a minimal extend has had a cost. If you think of it is even more crazy: they are also withholding the taxes which is a significant part of the total cost of the ticket. Taxes they’
ll never have to pay to the authorities because the flight never actually happened. Madness.
