“Dear @turkishairlines, like many other foreign companies, you might be discriminating against African Destinations and Travellers and that needs to stop,” the woman said, expressing her disappointment.

“The blatant disregard for African paying customers and lack of information permeated the relationships between ground staff members.”

“As if my 40-hour flight wasn’t long enough, I nearly lost my mind over an unexpected stop in Uganda that wasn’t included in my reservation.

“Every film from the Middle East, Bollywood, Turkey, Asia, and of course Hollywood is included. Not a single Nollywood film!

“African travellers occasionally pay more to travel to other parts of the world, so why is there such blatant discrimination and disrespect?”
