So much alcohol! I only have 2 hours here

Exactly how early can you check-in/access lounge in IST boomy?

The lounge is open 24/7. If you are on TK metal you can OLCI from 24 hours before departure.

Due to poor planning we'll miss out visiting the TK lounge this time as we're flying BA back to LHR. However, we are flying TK into IST so I'll have to talk the misses into allowing me to visit the TK arrivals lounge

Both lounges look impressive.... Turkish Airlines Arrival & Departure Lounge | Gourmantic

we're flying BA back to LHR.

I'm looking into some intra-Europe BA flights for next year but I'm not sure what's the best way to book. I have QF, AA & US miles available. How did you book your flights?

The old fashion way Booked CE (J) x 2 LHR-ATH .... IST-LHR for £973. We could have paid £200 less if we booked a later flight out of IST - we want to go out for dinner in London so the later flight didn't suit us.

Limited selection via QFF with long all-day routes on RJ. Didn't want to muck around due to possible mass exodus out of IST after the dawn service. We have three days in LHR to recover and then it's F/MASA back to SYD
