Long time lurker and first time poster! I booked Turkish airlines to fly MEL to BUD via KUL and IST - cheap business, which is great. However, my first flight from MEL is with Malaysia and just called and gave them my ticket no. but as there is no Malaysia booking ref they cannot make any changes to my flight and as a vego I was a little concerned, plus would love to know which seat I am in.

Has anyone ever been on a flight booked with Turkish and starting with Malaysia and was it ok checking in wise etc? Does anyone have a recent example of the MH148 menu 15:10 departure to KUL to confirm there was a vegetarian option? Apparently I can just check in at MEL and all will be ok, but this all feels a little strange. Maybe, I am used to being over-prepared!
