How do you transit from Turkish domestic to what I assume (Switzerland not being EU) and international flight? If I can tell the safety folks here (Who are twitchy enough besides me quoting statistics that we are safer in turkey than in the cab to the airport in Chicago) that we transit behind security that would be great.. Or if we don't I tell them nothing

Also.. as *G is the good lounge in the international section. From what I have read the Turkish *G lounge is one of the best

Someone will be along to offer reassurance on the terminal transfer procedures: my own DOM-INT experience is probably out of date.

But I wanted to point out that to all intents and purposes, from an air transport perspective, Switzerland is EU. It's Turkey that is outside our walls. Where it will shortly to be joined by the UK

And to clear the air on sensitive points FTers hold dear, Antalya's code is AYT. I'm guessing you weren't referring to St Anton in Austria (ANT).

But yes: the lounge is very nice indeed
