I have a Turkish Air Elite card. I may be dreaming but it seems like when I was n the IST TA lounge last March that I used my card to scan past (open) the gate but in the previous OCT I had to put my boarding pass in the gate....does anyone know if you can use your elite plus card WITHOUT having to check in at the desk or using your boarding pass?....my boarding pass does not show my elite plus status and I have a short layover so I just want to get in and out of the lounge quickly...Can I use my card without going to the front desk? Thanks!
