And tomorrow I'm embarking on my second domestic trip within the US since then, no issues with either online checkin or pre-check (which, like you, I have through GE). And I DID enter Turkey for a few hours during the layover at IST.
Are you by chance flying Delta? Could your situation be related to flight cancellations/rebookings due to the ATL shutdown yesterday?
Good luck! (and the TK lounge was pretty awesome, right?)
No, we're flying Jet Blue tomorrow. AUS to FLL. Don't think it has anything to do with flight issues as my husband was able to check in as was his extra seat, but I was not. All on the same PNR. Yes the TK lounge was amazing, though I found it a little overwhelming TBH.
I'll update after my security experience tomorrow, I'm not looking forward to it. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
