Arriving to IST by TK business at 12:15am. Star alliance silver.
departing IST on a separate ticket by BA business at 8am. AA EXP.
Will have checked bags on both legs.

i am assuming I will go through arrival process and collect bags at IST.
Then wait on airside until 5 or 5:30AM for BA counter to open.

any options here to make it comfortable? Hotel for few hours may not make sense. Any interline agreements or ability to check in differently?
