Mind you this is only an option if your connection time is >10H (>7 if in J) and that is shortest possible connection time.

Correct. 13 hours were mentioned above but indeed it has to have been the shortest connection available otherwise you do not qualify for the hotel.

The Renaissance is quite far from the airport I'm going to try and request the 5 star version of the WOW airport hotel. My flight (TK15) leaves at 9:30 a.m.

Hopefully the fact that I am in J will open up this option. I havent had the best experience with the hotel counter, at least when traveling in Y they do not accept any requests no matter how politely you ask but this was 3/4 years ago, maybe things have changed since.

Trying to book a LHR IST flight that earns miles on UA. I must take the 777 flights, I was looking and before it only had T fares but now it has P fares available. I still want to book the T fare, is there a way to force a different fare class on the Turkish site?

Looking at TK1980 on 5/20, TK1985 on 5/23. All the fare classes seem to be open at the moment.

Turkish Airlines Fully Refundable Flights?

Excuse me if this has been asked before.

However, I might be flying to London from IAD in Sept with a return around June of next year. However, I might end up not going.

I was wondering if TK offered fully refundable fares for business class?

Yes they do and they're easily selectable on the website.

How do I find them?

I'm looking for ones that are fully refundable and free of charge if I cancel.

As I only see "semi-flexible" ones.

NVM found it,

One last question

Under the semi-flexible business class fare does the cancellation fee apply to each each leg of the the round trip fare or is it to everything all together?

Ex. would that $400 be applied to Washington-London/London-Washington or would it be $800 to cover both?

Got it!

Thank you!

One last question how common is it to do a IST layover on the way to London?

As I am very tempted by TK's prices but it seems very out of the way considering my final destination.

Also how is TK's business class on it's flights to London?

Lie flat seat if you are on a wide body, otherwise a regular J seat.

I'm sure this is answered somewhere but I cannot find it.

My Gold card expires in October 2017. Last week I passed the 37,500 miles in 2 years to renew. Now online, it says expiry October 2017 and miles needed to renew 0.

When does the expiry date update/new card get sent out?

As far as I remember everything happens at the end of your current card. So I'd say September/October for the reception of your new card and November for the update of the website.

ok,

So TK no longer uses those horrible "European styled" business class seats on their shorter haul fights? Aka Economy class seats with the middle blocked out.
