GPU good on EWR to Munich leg. Then, 2.5 hour flight on LH to IST.
Get authentic massage between Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque at Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam. Great food. Buy a rug. Best yogurt in the world. Cruise the Bosporus.
Have a great trip.
I love IST and the two Hyatts there. YVR has a nice Hyatt too if you want something cheap ... Earlier this year, when I was traveling to SIN, I was able to nab fares at around $1100 a pop. SIN has a nice Hyatt too... cheap food and a good place to explore if you haven't been.
