I flew to Istanbul and back from Ankara. Both flights were delayed for hours and packed with people. Seats were very uncomfortable, food was bad and we hardly got anything to drink.

On the way back, people took tons of handbaggage (what happened to the one piece per person policy of normal airlines?) and I was sitting next to a pretty big woman, which was very uncomfortable.

The flight was supposed to be non-stop, but landed in Istanbul without warning, which delayed it even more.

This was my worst airline experience, and although it was cheap, I'd rather paid more and felt much better and more comfortable. If you can afford better, please do so.
