We used the Turkish Airlines lounge when we were flying back to the USA from Istanbul and it was SUBLIME! I have not been in a lounge yet that even comes close to it! I told the workers there that I thought their lounge was
wonderful, and they said "oh thank you! But we have heard Emirates Air's lounge is even better" Can't imagine what that lounge could be is like! D.H. said he could have spent the night in Turkish Airlines lounge and been happy. I must say I agreed.

I personally like the TK J lounge in IST more than the EK J lounge in DXB

Actually, the lounge Dragon was correct. The wording of the policy is misleading because the names of the lounges are misleading. *G gets access to any *G lounge and most contract lounges (on that I think we all agree). But.....UClub only gets access to *A lounges. NOT *G lounges.

The agent was willing to give me a reservation for a day room in Comfort Class, also. The wait was too long given my departure time, but I was not in biz and it was still an option.
