from domestic IST lounge there are buses to the plane. in that sense it is private to premium flyers.

plenty of airports and carriers share security screeners, and buses to tarmac, even from their home base. your advantage is you get to the funnel quicker, which i assume is the value most seek - not complete insulation from Y pax

how much does the LH group charge for its fares with private tarmac car transfers?


although it is also simple things that TK fails at. i bought a J companion pass at an official office. they split our 2 tix into separate PNRs. im not convinced my FFP account was added.

on the website later, cannot confirm or change FFP info.
cannot view or select or change either of our seats.

emailed CSR asking to (1) join PNR and/or (2) put us in neighboring seats and/or (3) add FFP info in there.......... no response at all

seems too much to ask to get neighboring seat assignment for a decent $$$ outlay

edit: emailed the local office and they took care of it in minutes. something TK corporate never could
