Overnight connection in Istanbul
Hello all.

MrsDallas49er and I are new to Turkish. In October we are flying the last Turkish flight of the day CDG-IST, arriving around midnight to connect with the 8am nonstop IST-DFW next day. All in paid business class.

Two questions.

1. Theoretically, the Turkish lounge is 24 hours. Does anyone see a problem of “overnighting “ in lounge.

Which leads to question #2

2. IF WE CHECK LUGGAGE IN CDG, DO WE HAVE TO COLLECT IT IN IST, THEN RE-CHECK IN AND RE CLEAR SECURITY OR CAN WE JUST GO TO THE LOUNGE AND (happily?) expect our luggage to meet up with us in Dallas?

MrsDallas49er and I have a VERY VERY large bet on the answers. 1€.🤞
