Hopefully this should be an easy one:

I might be flying BUD-WAW-IST-WAW-BUD with LO. On the return trip however, I'd like to depart from Ankara (ESB-IST-WAW-BUD). Pricing this as a multicity ticket seems to be way too expensive, so my idea is to just book the ESB-IST sector separately with TK in addition to a regular return BUD-WAW-IST ticket with LO.

Based on what I've read above it seems that TK will through check to other *A carriers from the outstations with their own staff, and I assume they use their own staff at ESB. Is this correct and can I assume I'll have no issues checking my bag at ESB all the way to BUD?

Also, I will most likely be on the HBO fare with LO, but I get a free checked bag with them as *G. Any possible issues with this?

Thank you
