if so then it's time to enjoy those regional jets.
AMS-CPH-OSL return, 130€, booked in to V for tomorrow. Not too bad price for last minute 2000 miles.
Time to ask Mrs. what she thinks about having a lunch tomorrow in norway...

So there aren't some e-stores, sign ups etc?

After some miscalculations (stupid LH P biz class giving 0 miles) I am now 37 status miles short from G 
. What would be the cheapest, fast options to get those last miles? My next flight will be TATL in Y and I wold otherwise need to buy extra baggage allowance (110€) and the lounge access wouldn't hurt either during the 4h+3h layover.
As I've been on TK for only a couple of months, buying the miles is not an option. I'm based in RTM if that should matter.

Already in oslo
You did understand it correctly. But as I understand, that there is a rule that one can not buy status miles during the first year of membership. The MS site gave me an error and wouldn't allow me to put CC details in.

Has anyone received notice from TK (or in my case, Aeroplan, as I redeemed TK through them) where it says "Your itinerary has been affected by a schedule change, please review the new flight details" etc etc contact 18003615373 if any questions?
The odd thing is that the "Previous Flight Itinerary" is exactly the same as "Updated Flight Itinerary" with all departure/arrival times, flight #s , type of aircraft, cabin, status (Confirmed) all identical?
It's the weekend so I couldn't get through to anyone but this seems odd to me unless I'm missing something...
EDIT: called in, looks like they made a mistake on their own email. the arrival time was slightly delayed by 30 some minutes.

Is the IAD-IST flight in business class a 2 meal full lunch and dinner service? It leaves in the mid afternoon and arrives evening? I was wondering because sometimes airlines still have a knack for serving breakfast at non traditional hours sometimes.

Option 3: A 13 hour binge at their awesome CIP lounge

Thanks for the quick reply. For option 1 do I request it prior to arrival in IST or on arrival in IST?

1. Make sure you have an E-visa or whatever visa you need
2. Exit the secure side of the airport to arrivals.
3. turn right, near the end on the right hand side is the Turkish airlines desk. It is directly opposite the Turkish Airlines arrivals lounge.
For me, they put me in the Renaissance and it came with free breakfast. It was good and I will definitely do it again in the future.
There was no waiting around for me.
