    Oh man, this is really weird. Since there are only 2 flights a day OSL-IST, and most connection options really aren't that amazing, I actually... b-b-BOUGHT tickets! First time in years buying a 100% airline unrelated confirmed ticket. But the price wasn't too bad, and it'll be nice to go within Europe and not worry about that one flight. Save the jumpiness for getting back to USA.

    You bought tickets? Get off this web site. This is for non revs only. You are a positive space passenger. You handed over revenue for tickets. This is a NON REVENUE forum only. Moderators...k-k-KICK this man out.

    Glad to hear you're staying in Sultanahmet. So close to Blue Mosque, too--smart choice. You'll be able to see the mosque and Hagia Sophia at night. Easy access to trams--get your Istanbulkart! Did the hotel offer OW pickup at IST? I'd love to know what hotel you chose--I'm planning to take Boss for a few days sometime. Probably when I run out of spices! Take a look at that Steves' book and I'll ask my niece which restaurants we visited as a result--2 were really great--one was very low key; the other tres tres IST and AI. The AI menu place takes 10% off extravagant meal, wine, homemade hootch--nice patio--so romantic for the little lady! You'll be able to have your laundry done nearby. I highly recommend doing a Turkish bath experience, also.
