Turkish Airlines luggage allowance
i'm flying TK from LAX-IST. How strict is the airline with respect to the dimensions of your suitcase? on their website it says the max combined dimensions of each checked bag is 158cm. I have a suitcase that measures about 165cm but it looks like just a regular suitcase. Do they actually get out a tape measure and add up all the dimensions?

ucsdjosh, welcome to FlyerTalk! As this is specific to Turkish Airlines, I'll move the thread to the forum dedicated to that airline. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator, TravelBuzz.

I will fly ARN-IST-PVG where ARN-IST is in business and IST-PVG in premium economy.
If I understand TK luggage rules bus pax are allowed 1 pc 30 kg, and eco pax 1 pc 20 kg. Since I am *G I will also be allowed one extra pice right?
But consideringe the whole route, will I be able to bring the bus pax allowance (2 pcs 30 kg each) or eco allowance (2 pcs 20 kg each)?
Since I will bring as much as I can every kg is important for me.
