To get accurate information about excess baggage fees, it’s recommended to contact the nearest Turkish Airlines Sales Office prior to your flight.
CPAP Devices
If you require a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device during your flight, Turkish Airlines provides specific guidelines. For security reasons, passengers are not allowed to use their own oxygen tanks onboard. However, Turkish Airlines can provide an oxygen tank with a medical certificate stating the required amount per minute as mentioned in your medical report. It’s essential to make inquiries about oxygen requirements at least 24 hours before your flight.
