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?

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.
