Whatever class, whatever status, or anything - outstation will refer to IST for compensation and good luck. It won't happen. You fly or denied boarding.

Yeah most certainly? With TK let me tell from experience. It will be a seat on the plane or denied boarding. Istanbul may give you something or ignore you completely.

And some pax over at mileage run think their mileage plus number after 28 calls makes a difference? 1K or nothing whatever - no difference at all.
