Lounge Access ISTANBUL

You should check that the fare classes you have booked earn miles at the necessary level to attain *G. Some TK Y fare classes do not earn at all so you should double check what fares you have purchased and how many miles they will accrue, eg. If all your flights have a 50% accrual factor you will not earn enough for *G.

The OP is travelling with SQ in J SYD-SIN-IST which will be all they need to get *gold, 9306 miles each way + 2000 bonus tops the 20K, being J there is a further 25% bonus thats not needed.

Only 50% fare is IST-TBS, TK in V. Everything else is D on either SQ or TK.

Looking at this status issue. Will I still attain status flying SQ metal on Aegean Miles&Bonus?

See my post above yours, not an issue.

Back on topic. As the brains trust () did not come up with any solution to get me into the IST lounge and as the outcomes of meetings are probably more important than the cost of J to TBS I went ahead and purchased J IST-TBS. Better to arrive rested and relaxed. I think the change-over actually went down in the interim period ($562) so good all round. Next time I will schedule a few days in IST as it looks fascinating.

Thank you for all your suggestions.

I am sure you won't regret it

"The memories remain long after the cost is forgotten".

I look forward to hearing about your visit.

I look forward to hearing about your visit.

There won't be much to report...meetings, visits to oil fields where we will soon drill (oil is seeping out of the ground a la Beverly Hillbillies), dinner the night I arrive with an ex-foreign minister whose first degree is in winemaking. I'm looking forward to an insight into the local product.
