One Night in Istanbul
I have some questions because after reading some of the posit I am not clear.
1. I have a connection of over 24 hours in J class does TK gives a hotel to me is a long layover because of avaliable space
2 can I pay for the full tour that TK offers in case they don't give it to for being over 24 hours my layover
3 how far is the airport from downtown
4 can check in my lougage in the morning for a night flight or is there storage for luggage while I go on the tour
5 are there any trip reports on the IST to BKK route with how is the service
Thank you

2. Not sure.
3. 20km or 30mins or 35-40 TL to Sultanahmet.
4. Not sure, but I think a storage locker is right next to the transit hotel desk.
5. Don't know.

2) Ask at the hotel desk or take a metro to Sultanhamet and pick a guide there.Prices are negotiable.
3) If you're taking a Taxi it depends very much on the traffic and your driver
4) You can store your luggage in the tour bus or at the airport.
5) The internet is your friend

If the airline doesn't pay for the tour, most of the major attractions are within easy walking distance of each other. I would also agree with taking public transportation.. the backup can get very time consuming in a cab entering the Sultanhamet at certain times and days.

I assume that you're both in J.I this case you both are eligible to apply for a relax room at TKs CIP Lounge and you can also use the new shower facilities.
