Since my reservation (in the last days) they added 2 more itineraryies for my dates to the TK.com:
- 2 legs on TK+AT with 11h 45min layover and
- 2 legs on TK+AT with 25h 25min layover.
Now the one that raises my eyebrows is the TK+AT with 11h 45min layover. Does this later added itinerary make me ineligible for layover hotel? That would not be fair in my opinion. I played by the rules, and now TK cheated? I cannot change the flights without a fee since I have Q-class tickets (semi-flexible). Does anyone have any experience or an idea, how TK handles this?
To add to this story. It is teue what ISTflyer answered me above. I got the layover hotel. It was the Tüyap Palas in Büyükçekmece (40 km out of Istanbul). It was good for a night sleep. Rooms clean and comfortable. Breakfast I know from
before that it is very basic, so I skipped it.
