Hi all sorry to revive this thread again. I’m travelling from SIN-IST (SQ) and IST-ASR (TK) on 2 PNRs in J. I take it from the conversations that it is still possible to interline my bags to the final destination at ASR? the website distill indicates that I would have to collect and check in after immigration.
on another note, would it be possible to use the lounge on the International side? Or I would have to immediately head over to the domestic terminal after cleaning customs. I have a 10hr transit…

If you ask this question at the Singapore Airlines forum, you'll get a more precise answer.

With a BP for a domestic flight the OP most likely will not be allowed to pass through transfer security to international airside, but will have to proceed through immigration to the domestic part of the terminal (where there is TK lounge for domestic travelers). In addition to that, presenting a BP for a domestic flight to enter the lounges will not work (entry will be denied). So getting access to the TK business lounge or M&S lounge as TK Elite or Star Alliance Gold is an absolute "no go". The domestic lounge is valid option though.

thank you. If I were to book a Yotel it would most probably be on the land side? Would it be possible to head out instead of going through to domestic transfers immediately? My layout is around 6-7 hours. And I would like a place the rest.

regarding my transfer ticket and I’m on 2 PNRs I would need the IST-ASR boarding pass to be issued from the transit desk. It seems from the various YouTube videos I’ve watched. Once I go to the domestic transfer desk past immigration then I’m already within the domestic terminal and won’t be able to get out?
would you happen to know where I might be now to get my second boarding pass issued and still be able to stay for at Landside Yotel?

No, you don't need to get your BP from the TK transit desk. You proceed through immigration and customs like any other pax with IST as final destination; then you end up in the arrivals hall/landside. You may proceed upstairs to the check-in counters to obtain your BP for the domestic flight or you can do it later. This is really uncomplicated; don't overthink this.

thanks! It’s a lot clearer to me now.

I am in the process of booking an upcoming trip and was wondering if TK would allow for me to thru check my bags through IST? I will be flying WAW-IST on LOT on ticket 1 (ANA issued) and then continuing on to IST-FRU on TK on ticket 2 (TK issued). WAW-IST is in J, IST-FRU in Y. The flight will arrive at 23:30 and depart at 1:10 so I'll be cutting it close, but I think it will be doable if I don't need to pick up bags. Only slightly concerned about the interlining as I failed to get TK to interline on FRU-IST-IAD-CMH with UA.
