Baby pram/stroller - connecting flight
Hi, I have a connecting flight on Anadolujet, and will have an infant.
I see that I can take a pram through secuirty, and it will be checked at the gate. What isn't clear - is where do I pick it up - from the aircraft steps on arrival, or at the luggage carousel.
If it was a direct flight, it wouldn't matter that much. But it's a connecting flight, so if it is gate-checked at the departure point, does it get checked all the way through to the baggage carosel at STN, or can I retrieve it when getting off the plane at SAW (and gate checked again when departing SAW).
Thanks.

I'm only aware of a couple of LCCs that do it differently.

Word of advice
When you board talk to the stewardess and inform them that you need the stroller when you disembark. Ive experienced both that it is waiting at the gate, and that it went directly to the baggage pick up area (pain in the butt). If you speak to the stewardess, they can often help. Turks generally are super helpful when it comes to children etc.
