Several passengers who flew with Turkish Airlines have reported finding bedbugs on their flights. The bugs were spotted on seats, blankets, and in overhead bins, but the airline did not take action. One passenger, Patience Titcombe, discovered a small bug crawling on her seat after getting up to use the restroom during a flight from Johannesburg to Istanbul last March. When she confronted the flight attendant about it, she was dismissed. The incident highlights concerns among passengers about the airline’s response to pest control issues.
