If I book through Turkish can I change it to a 016 ticket number as I believe I get additional PQM's or PQD's right?
If you have time do a Google flight search and select track prices to receive notifications when prices drop. From the west coast to CPT the LH/UA flights seem to vary from around $5K to 11K - I'm assuming the same thing happens for ORD.
