Looks like it's near B1? Is that right?

Ex-IST and Ex-TLV they serve fresh KSML (no fleishigs) CY and PY under the OK and KTR (Rabbi Chitrik supervising for both organizations). Ex-NYC I think it's Borenstein.

Traveling with Turkish, any reason to add miles & smiles account or rather use my united account? (Priority check in, boarding, seat selection etc)

mechayamom · « **Reply #825 on:** March 01, 2022, 02:29:19 PM »

I see discussion of people booking United Metal on Turkish but not being able to put your mileage plus number on for free checked baggage.

I will have to phone in because EWR-DEN-OGG only shows the legs separately as EWR-DEN and DEN-OGG.
Is there any way to have Miles & Smiles pick up connections on the search?
How do I get the Mileage Plus Number on the reservation?
I have my United Card as default payment dont know if that will give the bags or not.

Any tips?
Right now I am chasing their feedback system as I entered my Birthdate in MM-DD-YY format and not DD-MM-YY format. What a hassle.

I'm in IST Airport now, which lounge in the airport is the nicest? The miles and smiles or the Turkish business lounge or the IGA lounge?

And less than 9 hours IINM. This is not only "officially", IME they simply don't give you a suite if your layover isn't within the parameters (but you could get a shower).

Any concern with stopovers in light of the war?

mechayamom · « **Reply #838 on:** March 06, 2022, 11:05:01 AM »

Getting in touch with Turkish Air. Can somebody please help.
I have been trying to get somebody to update my DoB opened 5 feedbacks. Emailed them.
Got one feedback telling me to get online and update it in my personal details. That field is greyed out and not editable.
I Camry book anything until they correct it.
I have called multiple times only to be told they need a resolution to the feedback approving them to update.
Any ideas gratefully welcomed.

Trying to book a united economy X class using Miles & Smiles From OGG-EWR via ORD.
I see availability on United but it is not on miles& smiles.
It is routing OGG-ORD-IST-EWR ridiculous!!

The agents I have called and tried several times are unable to find the availability.
Please help.
Any wise words to get past these agents or specific instructions to give them to find the flights?
Much appreciated
