Were planning on doing some shopping in IST during the stopover and then checking in an additional bag at IST to MUC (in order to avoid too many carry-ons). All flights in TK C, and I have a star gold card. Would that be possible? I have done this once before at BKK, but it was a long time ago and not with TK.
It should be possible. However, be aware that all tickets involving the USA as a point have piece baggage allowance and you would have 2 pieces each ( +1 because you are *G ); if you don't exceed the piece limit, there shouldn't be issues.
