Disgusting treatment by workers at Istanbul airport

she also had papers from her surgeon to show them.
she said they made her rip off her surgery dressings, causing her to bleed, they were touching and squeezing her, and they made horrible remarks towards her

she has further videos about things that happened on wizz air. I don’t know how to post more than one video

RS on TikTok

She went abroad for cheap cosmetic surgery and the NHS will pay to fix the mess that was made of her.

Wizz air is the shittiest little shuttle fucking piece of shit budget airline that there is. But they were daft not hostile. The stewardess at the front didn't know her colleagues name in the rear of the aircraft. She referred to him over the tannoy as the guy at the back during the safety briefing but that was as bad as it got.

She should have booked a business class seat home on BA if she wanted kid glove treatment post surgery and comfort.

Is the woman you OP?

You’ve obviously never read the Daily Mail. The readers’ comments on this would make the PP here look benign and sympathetic.

Interested in this thread?

OP you are the woman in the TikTok videos and I claim my five pounds.

If you want to find some more soothing fake outrage, and your big payout, the Daily Mail is that way >>>>>>>

I was wondering that too 😄

She said they was touching her. Not sure that's nessary is it? I haven't had to show my tits and had them touched. There's a body scanner in most airports to see you naked while you keep your clothes on and people's hands off.

I'm not comfortable with saying she is stupid therefore deserves to be degraded in a sexual way. That's a pretty common line by misogynistic men. She had breast surgery so it's OK to xyz stupid girl. Not nice and reinforces that narrative really. She has no right to dignity because she had a vanity procedure? Such a low bar of compassion.

I’ve had two hip replacements and I often get patted down at airports because I set off the alarm.

I’d rather they were thorough than lax with security tbh 🤷‍♀️.

We're not saying she's the sharpest tool in the box.

But a mention in the Fail would still gain her views and subs on her channel. Even negative engagement is engagement and one step closer to living the Influencer dream and a white Evoque on the driveway.

In fact I don’t think she’ll get much sympathy on tiktok either apart from racists who want an opportunity to slate the Turkish.

This stuff is up there with that air b&b host who posted that people were taking her to court over not telling them about her disability and the distress it caused them, which turned out to be a scam.

Watch out for a gofundm coming to a fb post near you soon.

I have had plastic surgery in turkey twice and flew back from Istanbul both times with no problems. What happened to her is obviously awful.

She should have covered her garments up properly though. I imagine they do get people pretending to have surgery who wear fake ones to smuggle things. I had a fit to fly letter from my surgeon both times and that was never checked and I never declared I had surgery. I was moving slower than I usually do but I don’t think it was obvious as I didn’t have any of my surgical garments on show, I put a huge jumper over the top.

OhCirque · 09/11/2023 17:51

OP - watch Midnight Express and then let us know what you think of the searches (seems she only got one body search despite the possibility of 3).

I flew back from Istanbul a little while ago. I brought a bottle of water for meds before boarding - antibiotics can be flexible with timings AND I got offered water my cabin crew when the saw I was taking a shed load of meds.

Was flying BA.

PictureOfFlorianTray · 09/11/2023 17:52

An awful lot of people smuggle drugs through airports in the guise of having had surgery.

If you're stupid enough to go to Turkey to get a cosmetic procedure ( which the Foreign Office advise against) then more fool you.

Istanbul is on a known drugs route.

This person's need for kipper lips , or whatever, does not supersede an airport's security need to check for drugs.

She was daft and foolish.

Iloveblink182 · 09/11/2023 17:52

Also not sure why she didn’t buy water before boarding the plane

PrimalOwl10 · 09/11/2023 17:53

Sounds like standard checks and the op(woman) in the video is being dramatic for effect.

When I am searched, which I am every time I go through security for disability reasons, the staff have to touch me to do so properly

DojaPhat · 09/11/2023 17:53

Wizz air are the sort of airline you'd probably need to bring your own pilot and aeroplane but on what earth is it acceptable to get someone who's recently had surgery to take off their dressings. Could be the nature of the surgery which is distorting people's views but honestly, surgical dressings aren't just for shits and giggles. Problem is I doubt anyone will do anything about it.

Toottooot · 09/11/2023 17:55

Drama llama - loving the attention. Why fly hame if you’re still so vulnerable from surgery. Bide a few mair days in Turkey hun.

OhCirque · 09/11/2023 17:55

Oh she took videos of staff without their consent as well so they deleted them off her phone.

Can someone tell me is that how the lips will stay please? I’m scared of having a stitch in so have never looked into any random non essential surgery

I have a feeling neither of the threads she created on here are going the way she hoped/planned either

Typical TT drama, one side of the story & a big over reaction from the supposed victim. But then some folk will do anything for likes

YireosDodeAver · 09/11/2023 17:58

Imagine if all you had to do to travel on false papers was to stick a few dressings on your face and claim to have just had cosmetic surgery.

Itsnotchristmasyet · 09/11/2023 17:58

Does it say why she was singled out?

Thousands of people fly to turkey for surgery so I’m really surprised they would do this.

OhCirque · 09/11/2023 18:00

She wasn’t singled out - it was a security check and if you bleep through the x ray you get patted down by security staff of the same sex.

MayThe4th · 09/11/2023 18:00

I have a feeling neither of the threads she created on here are going the way she hoped/planned either oooh is there another one?

OhCirque · 09/11/2023 18:01

Yes on Feminsim Chat 🔥

happyl · 09/11/2023 18:02

cant understand why anyone in their right
mind would fly somewhere for serious surgery. if you're still "leaking and bleeding" you should be lying down, not stood in an airport departure lounge!

RafaistheKingofClay · 09/11/2023 18:03

If you wanted somewhere lax with security, I’m not sure I’d fly out of Istanbul tbh. They don’t really have the luxury of that.

OhCirque · 09/11/2023 18:04

OP what were you doing between security 1, checking and Security 2 (where there’s food courts and multiple shops selling water) and between security 2 and security 3 at boarding (where again there’s multiple food courts, shops selling water, cafes and FREE water fountains?)
