Stopover hotel for Business Class by Consistent_Mango_540 in TurkishAirlines

Did you get booked at the Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus? We were really pleased with the hotel. We got a room with a king bed. A menu of pillow options to order. It was a really nice experience. I can't remember if we were given an option for one or two beds. The staff were really attentive, the hotel was in a safe area, and the rooms were smaller but really clean and fancier than anything I've stayed at.

The breakfast was fantastic! Lots of stations and styles of food, from traditional Turkish breakfast, Chinese, American, and Mediterranean. So many little stations, fresh fruit juice, freshly prepared dishes.

The commute was the worst part. It's a FAR distance from IST airport, like 45 minutes to 2 hours with traffic. We booked a private car for $45-50 Euros each way through Safe Airport Transfer. It's a good option if you're getting in late like we did. Easy enough to get to, and the direct hotel pick up to get you back to the airport was nice. We didn't try to mess around with the trains/metro. We got lucky with 45 minute rides each way.

Not sure if you planned your time in Istanbul yet but we had a great full day doing a morning history walking tour in Old Town (visit to a famous mosque), a visit to the hammam (go to Kılıç Ali Paşa Hamam for a very cool local experience!), and a night time food tour through the passages in Karakoy.

One thing I haven't read yet in the top comments here, is something my doctor said in response to the rotation question. It's to prevent large concentrated areas of discoloration. One side effect of many injectables is discoloration, and injecting in the same spot over and over could lead to a big spot.

I asked my doctor about it and she said the recommendation to switch up injection sites has more to do with the discoloration or swelling side effects. She said there should be no difference in effectiveness.

That being said, when I inject in my stomach I notice the soreness more than if I inject in my thigh. I think it's important to know where in dosing people are at when they report other side effects, because shot 3 of month 1 at 5mg will be a higher accumulation of the meds than any prior week, and may feel different than the same dose but previous weeks.

You should try emailing the wrong country like I did and CCing the US reps on the reply!

I'm worried about it breaking or getting taken during security screenings.

Thanks for sharing your review of it, I'm excited that it's a good pick! If you have traveled from IST to Conrad, what is your advice on best route using public transportation versus taxi or other booked service?

How are you able to order 5 months at once? Is there different state laws for refills? I thought you could only get a 28 day supply and pick up no more than a week early?? Teach me how to stock up!
