TRANSFER AT ISTANBUL International Airport in Turkey 🇹🇷 How to walk to a connection flight

[@Leo_28228]

I am south african ( From Johannesburg ) and i am flying on turkish airlines every time, since 2000 i have been flying on turkish and i love the service, But quite tired after a long haul flight

[@elastidubrava9941]

Thank you, guys. Yesterday, I remembered you, ihihi. I arrived in Istanbul at 6:35 a.m. and had a flight at 7:20 a.m. I managed to get to the boarding gate at 7:00 a.m., but I was running like an idiot in the Istanbul airport.

[@starlsma2000]

Did you make it?

[@elastidubrava9941]

@@starlsma2000 yes i did

[@aytenzeynalova5105]

Omg I also have only 1 hour on the way back to my country, and it’s my first time I’m so afraid of loosing myself in the huge airport and not to find my gate and miss my airplane 😢 I have to run and be quick as much as I can this rush makes me even more anxious 😥

[@elastidubrava9941]

"Lol, people, the airport may be big, but you can't get lost there. Just relax."

[@starlsma2000]

@aytenzeynalova5105 okay so 1 hour isn't a lot of time but it's doable, you just have to run and not roam around

[@cartwheel8319]

Note: Turkey follows a safe/secure country system for international to international airport transfers. For example, if you fly from Poland, Finland or Austria, (all of Europe really, not just the EU) Japan, So. Korea, or Canada to Istanbul to connect to a flight to Mexico, Germany or Spain then you will NOT have to go through security in Istanbul, leave the plane and go into the main terminal to catch your next flight. The only check is coming off the plane a person is there to see if you have an onward ticket/boarding pass. Coming from South Africa and other designated non-secure countries you will have to go through security (not customs or immigration) at IST before making your international connection. Few know this and unfortunately this aspect is not well publicized.

[@p.i.5789]

good to know there are no controls

[@wosung123]

I was here 3 months back. My layover to Newark , USA... Dey had 5 times security check ups bfr boarding flights to usa. Somehow am not happy with der aircrafts , totally cramped up seats from istanbul to newark, newjersy. My 1st nd last fly by this airlines.

[@pn1188]

I will go from one European country to another with turkish airlines. Will the transit be shorter? It is one ticket and the luggages are not self transit.

[@magnus3647]

We arrive from Oslo, Norway, with our flight at 19.20. Istanbul is just a stopping place. We will continue our journey from Istanbul to Dubai at 20.40 with another flight number. We are short on time wondering if we need to check in again when we land in Istanbul or if we can go directly to the plane without checking in again.

[@magnus3647]

@@oscarforstrnen4493 Bad. Will never go back. The flight was over an hour late. We didn't make it to the next flight. We tried to get help but just ended up standing in line for many hours. Totally incompetent staff. Couldn't help us at all. Would not recommend anyone to go to this airport. We had to fix a new plane on our own. We also had to stop over at another place in the north of Turkey on the border with Georgia to get to our destination. Totally incompetent staff. When getting our boarding pass my friends pass got stuck in the machine. The staff did not want to help. We were wery lucky and got help from another person who also had lost his flight.

i watched you guys afew years ago in bkk. ill be travelling through this airport at end of month from yvr to kathmandu. what a long trek...

[@MikeHoncho884]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve got this. I’ve got 90 minutes to get to my next terminal when I fly in late January. Takes a lot of anxiety out of my travels!!! I’m new to traveling. I’ve worked my whole career for 35 years and I’ve barely gone anywhere! I just bought my first trip. I’ll fly from Chicago to Istanbul then from Istanbul to KL Malaysia. I’m going to do several countries all in the single trip so I’m going to catch my regional flights from country to country in Southeast Asia. I’ll be traveling for five months! Thank you so much Oh, and by the way, I scored my first flight for $340.23 from Chicago to Kuala Lumpur! Yes!!!

[@Night_Stary]

I have a layover in Istanbul soon, was really anxious about this whole experience. Thanks for the vid!

[@atilla4657]

You are right about the lack of seats to rest in the second floor unless you want to purchase expensive food or drink in a coffee shop. so what i do is to go downstairs to the gates area, find out a gate with empty seats and take a rest until 35-40 minutes before my flight.

[@alirehman4858]

Very informative and straight to point. Saving it for offline viewing as I’ll be making transfer for Amsterdam in abt two weeks from Pakistan

[@jenetvanheerden1890]

Am so glad that i come across your KZbin videos,i loooove to watch them its so relaxing.I never travelled before internationally or over the borders your videos are amazing to watch.

[@Anthony-tn5zf]

Thank you for the video, your flight from South Africa (a country considered unsafe) required you to go through security a second time for this international transit in Istanbul. But I specify that in general when you make an international transit during your stopover in Istanbul, it is not necessary to go through security because you do not leave the international zone of the airport.

@@britney7034my flight is going to be in August so not yet. But in your case, you have a domestic transfer which means you will be going through customs first then moving on to your other destination. If you fly with the same airlines you shouldn’t have to go get your luggage.
