Transfer Desks at ARN?
I am booked on CA911 PEK-ARN and TK1796 ARN-IST, with 2 separate tickets. I will bring carry-on luggage only.
Are there any transfer desks at ARN, specifically Turkish Airline's, so I can get my second boarding pass without entering Sweden? If not, I'm gonna have to apply for a Schengen Visa.

TK is handled by Menzies, and no, they have no transfer desk. I would recommend you to check in online and print your boarding pass at home. If that's out of the question, I do believe that you could go straight to the gate and do the check-in there. CA usually arrives at gate F62, while TK often departs from gates 17-20. You can take a transfer bus from gate F1 to gate 20.
But, BEWARE: CA911 is often delayed, sometimes two or three hours, so there's a huge risk of a missed connection, and with two separate tickets, you won't be protected.
If you don't have a Schengen visa, CA may even refuse to let you board the plane in PEK.
