TK*S does not give you access to any other lounges other than TK's own. So if LH group "business" lounge access is important to you then you should stick with LH M&M.

Baggage allowance?
Usually I don't have to worry so such about this since I'm *A Gold with Air Canada, but since they took so long to mail out our packages, I'm stuck here in AMM with no card...
I have a flight coming up AMM-IST-YYZ. There are different rules listed on the website for the Toronto flights than there are for Amman. Which rules apply? Toronto since that's the ultimate destination, or AMM since that's where I check in?
The difference is pretty big... 20 kg all together for AMM or 2 pieces 23 kg each for YYZ.

How much luggage can I bring as E+
It's almost embarrassing to ask about this, I should be able to figure it out on my own, but anyway; I'm E+ and travel quite a bit between Europe and Asia. I usually only bring a few kilos of checked-in luggage, if any at all and have never cared about the luggage quota. However, next week I need to bring a lot of extra kilos. How many pieces of luggage can I check-in as an E+ traveling in E between Europe and Asia? And how many kilos per piece?

Comfort 20 kg
Economy 20 kg
Was thinking of the *A allowance.

Can I check my baggage all the way though?
Hi, I booked 2 separate tickets, one is UA FLL-IAD, anothe is TK IAD-IST-CAN. I wonder if I can check my baggage to the final destination. The issue is the last leg IST-CAN is two day after, because it departs at 12:30 AM(the next day).... but my layover time at IST is 8 hours and I don't think I can collect my bag and re-check in at IST. If I have to collect them at IAD, I only have 2 hours and half for connecting. Is it enough?

You can check all the way through with UA (at discretion of gate agent). Make sure you bring a full copy of your itinerary (not a hand written copy) for the connecting flights. I did this on both my outgoing and inbound legs last month with 3 separate PNR's.
YVR-SEA(AC) to SEA-ORD-IST (AA and TK)
BEG-IST-LAX(TK) to LAX-YVR (DL)
The AC agent was ok with a pdf on my tablet (had hand written info, but it was not acceptable). For the return flight, I made sure to print the DL itinerary, just in case there was a language issue in BEG. There was a 14hr layover in IST and luggage came through fine in LAX and then did the dropoff after customs to get to YVR.
