I’ve flown Turkish a few times and usually love their food, but this trip was rough. I ordered a vegetarian meal ahead of time, flight attendant said there wasn’t any special meal loaded. Ended up with plain pasta for the first meal and a puff pastry with nothing inside for the...

Just boarded a transatlantic United flight and found out they moved me out of the Economy Plus seat I paid for. I’d spent about $400 total for extra legroom and Premier Access. Checked a few days ago and my seat was still showing fine now I’m stuck in regular economy (48D) with...
