If you're zedding IST-FRA, why not also have some LH tickets as back-up. I believe Lufthansa now has an e-zed agreement with Delta. There's an early morning LH flight from IST which would allow for a same day connection in FRA. Bear in mind that the taxes ex FRA to N. America are on the steep side (about 80 euro) and are also applied to transit passengers
Thanks re: the LH idea. Unfortunately, by the time I exit the ship and get to the IST airport, I would not be able to make the connection flight in time from FRA to ATL the same day. I would have to overnight FRA & go out the next day. Still a viable option, tho. Appreciate the suggestions!
Do I have to list for ZED tickets stateside at the airport, online or at ticket counter?
Also - any recommendations for hotels in AMS or FRA? Probably best if close to the airport as I'll be having to get there by 7am the morning of departure.
Thanks!

ZED on TK, IST-FRA can be used on LH also...

In an ideal non-rev world, you're correct. But the reality is some stations would not touch an ID ticket unless it explicity mentions their carrier's name
Where to post trip report?
Back from our IST extravaganza (Great Trip!) and just finished our trip report - not sure where to post it, however? Let me know and I will be happy to add it.

Probably in regions section--just choose either Europe or Asia (I'd go for EU)
Can't wait to hear! I've only done the 48 hrs layover w/Boss and that was a while back. I have to return, so I'll take any new advice, please.
