- Also keep in the back of your mind that in case TK changes the departure time of one of your flights making your connection impossible, then you will need to take care of this by yourself. From my (rather limited) experience this is not something very common with TK, but it's not unheard of either.
- If you decide to go for it make sure to allow for plenty of time between your two flights, as ermis177 suggested.
- At the check-in counter in ATH make sure to have your bags checked all the way to KUL. I have done it before a couple of times with TK and it worked very fine for me. It would help even more if you have already checked-in on your IST-KUL flight.
Yes. The 21.40 flight has only 90 minutes connection time in IST, so i take the earlier at 5,40.
Check in online is not possible on tickets bought witj miles. So at least i make sure to check in baggage straight to final destination.
Looking at availability in Aegean's site i noted a few things.
-Buying a ticket in BC sometimes costs less in miles than economy.
Apart TK which has good availability its really hard to find available seats in BC other companies like SQ, Swiss, Lufthansa or other
