Well, they will have to touch the ticket if someone requests to have the dates changed. Otherwise, they won't blink an eyelid. I'm in the sensational TK lounge in IST at the moment and nobody in WAW had any problems with my ticket.

Thanks to Europeanexplorers advice ^ , I managed to change dates on my return leg over the phone without any reprice (my outbound is in Dec). I later paid the 50euro fee whilst on a long transit at the TK office in CDG, as they told me to pay whenever I was next passing any TK office.
My ticket had been originally booked with a travel agent. Despite this, none of the TK agents I dealt with batted an eyelid at my ticket or the fare paid.

I tried to change my itinerary today (originally TK8000 to TK60 the same day - just don't want to spend 20hrs in IST if I can only 7 and can arrive to KUL earlier) but got refused due to the fact that I purchased the ticket via travel agent. I called Warsaw TK office. They said I need to start my trip.
I'll try to call TK HQ.

Even when trying to rebook in advance, it is crucial to make sure *J* class is available, otherwise they won't let you change the dates.

I just got a message from THY that my flight was cancelled. No other details. I can't get a hold of anyone... any idea what's going on?
I already flew the WAW segment, and changed the flight to July.
Edit: I guess Malaysia didn't confirm the change I made a few months ago. So they're working on it. Crossing my fingers they make it right by putting me on TK metal!

What a cluster****. It's all fixed now.
Big warning to everyone... if you change your flights, you should pay the change fee ASAP. Your changes aren't ticketed until you pay the fee, and it seems that MH is dropping these holds, which happened on my itinerary. That's despite TK originally saying I could pay on arrival in IST.

I suspect it will be the Plaza Premium Lounge (which is not that great). However, anyone who is *G should be able to check out the TG and SQ lounges before they close in the evening...

I am departing KUL in a couple of days on TK, so I will let you know for sure then.

I was searching the web for some time and it seems that the Plaza Premium Lounge is the only option to take a shower when departing on TK as *G? Neither the SK nor the TG lounges seem to have a shower.

From what I know, the MH Golden Lounge is also used by some third party airlines e.g Iran Air. So one could hope that TK have a contract with them, but I suppose one shouldn't hope for too much. Does the Plaza Premium lounge (or any of the other *A lounges for that matter) also have Häaggen Dazs ice cream?

As for the couple of replies above: There is an SQ (Singapore Airlines) lounge in KUL, not an SK (SAS) one.
From what I have heard the TG Lounge is much better than the SQ one, so that will probably be the best place to go for any *Gs if TK is not allowed to use the MH lounge.Well you could check that here. This is for none *g holder.
