Given a travel related situation, and given a specific question about the situation, summarize the question into a title

Besides the Turkish Lira, can I use US dollars and/or Euros in Istanbul?

I mean particularly for paying in taxis, groceries and vegetable markets.

If this is possible, is there any additional cost for this? I.e. will I pay more if I pay to a taxi driver in US dollars?

What currencies can I use in Istanbul?

Often I book a return ticket with a transit, and then ditch only the route from the transit to the destination of the return flight. In other words, I get off at the transit place only in the return flight.

However, I have an experience of being handed a direct ticket in case of an emergency, even though the original ticket included a transit. For example, my original ticket was from Seoul to Tokyo with Shanghai as a transit, but since the flight operated by China Eastern was delayed for some reasons, I was instructed to get on a flight operated by Korean Air to directly go to Tokyo.

At that time, I didn't plan to get off at Shanghai, so it was not a problem. However, now I wonder if it is possible to decline the alternative ticket handed at the check-in counter. I usually book an onward ticket as well as my room in advance before stating that I like to get off at the transit airport; even the airline staff told me that I must state it at the check-in counter since they don't accept it via a phone call or email in advance.

So can I decline the alternative ticket? If not, is it the airline or I that should book another ticket that can get me off at the transit airport?

Can I decline an alternative ticket handed at an airline's check-in counter in case of an emergency?

My minor daughter is traveling by herself internationally, leaving from Boston's Logan airport.

It's the first time she's traveled via air on her own, and I'd like to go with her to her gate (past security) to make sure she doesn't have any hassles.

I've seen some indications that it's possible to do this, but I've not had any luck figuring out how to do it.

Is this possible?

If so, how? Do I need the airline to OK it? TSA? Someone at Massport?

Closed, and the dupe helped me.  The airline is United, and they explicitly say on their website (I was missing the key phrase "gate pass" in my searches):




How do I get airside at Boston's Logan airport without a boarding pass?
