When do I get ticketed for TK???
Ok, so i have booked a TK LHR-IST rtn in J 
. I have my PNR and have looked on CMT and this gives me my TK booking number. As soon as i try to look on the TK website it doesnt recognise either of the booking numbers!
My main question is how will my ticket arrive (electronic/paper) and will i be able to check in online??
Any help appreciated.
thanks B

It should ticket in 2-3 days, keep checking CMT for a ticket number. BMI is rarely in a hurry with these things!
Your ticket will not 'arrive'. In theory, you should have had an e-mailed e-ticket receipt from BMI within seconds of putting down the phone to the call centre. In practice, you only get them 50% of the time. You don't really need it anyway - just print off the checkmytrip details.

You should still be allowed to do online check-in. BD likes likes to play the anxiety game on people, just check again.

I also redeemed my miles for a TK award ticket. Even after I got the TK confirmation numbers and ticket numbers, I still could not check my bookings on TK web site. So I called TK toll free number to assign my seat. You can skype +18008748875.

Note that TK will normally not assign seats until around 90 days before travel.

Check that CMT shows "London-London"...
The last 3 bookings I've made on this exact route, they've only ticketed the outward flight (showing London-Istanbul on CMT) and I've had to phone back and speak to a supervisor...

Word of warning for anyone who has booked TK J on the 77W ex. IST, particularly the 08:00 departure. The Business Class checkin queue was impressively long before 07:00 yesterday. I'd say well over 100 people queuing, and lots of gobsmacked, worried looking passengers constantly joining the back, for 6 or 7 desks. I mentioned it to my First Class concierge 
and she said that's normal. A few trying to access the F desk were politely given 'the Turkish finger'. So don't arrive too late!
I can think of plenty of airlines who can only dream of J checkin queues like that these days.
