hi threre1 Did they require you a Turkish transit visa?

Thank you

Thank you.

I transferred at ist with family on 28 June from Muscat to Edinburgh. Our flight from Muscat was late so when we arrived at ist, the other flight was waiting for us and a few other passengers. We were all 8. At the gate, there was a staff member waiting and calling for all going to Edinburgh to gather, he then literally ran in front of us and asked us to follow him. One of the passengers was an old lady who couldn’t run and she was very tired. When we reached the gate, all the other passengers were already on aircraft. We didn’t go through regular red sign security. Instead, there was a small security area that we went through. It was quick. Very tiring experience for my family. On the way back from Edinburgh, both arrival and departure gates were very close to each other and we didn’t go through security. We had time for coffee near the gate because again our flight was delayed. This airline moves thousands of people from east to west in the morning and the opposite in the afternoon and evening. There are hundreds of aircrafts on ground at the airport and many other landing or taking off at the same time. Very busy airport and delays are possible all the time.

Your video is really helpful, im about to transit in turkiye with long layover next january ❤

Thank you for your video, very thoughtful instructions. In 2 days I have to transit here and am confused and don't know what to do @@ thank you very much❤❤❤

Thank you verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry match

Obrigada , preciso também do vídeo do aeroporto em Dubai você tem?😅

Very informative. When you went through security did you have to remove your electronics from your carry on bag?

Travelling alone international for the very first time is an extremely daunting task - your mind goes in 5 different directions , mainly repeatedly asking yourself what happens if you board the wrong flight and end up 2000 miles away from your planned destination haha !

Very informative thank you, do you think 2 hour is enough for a layover for international transit?

So i had a 3 hour layover in istanbul, i got out of the plane which took atleast 15-20 mins because they made the business class passegers get out first, then after getting out i went to International transfers which was an endless walk, after getting there i had to get my second boarding pass so i asked the help desk and they asked me to go to the turkish airlines counter, i got my boarding pass there, then i went through security which didnt take long, then i went to the duty free shopping area snd went to a store, bought a few things, then i wandered around and found a free wifi kiosk, u have to slide ur passport in the thingy and then it prints out a receipt with the password for wifi, u can then connect it, then i checked the info of my gate om the board, then i went to my gate, the gate was not open, they said there was 5 mins left, after it opened, i showed my documents, then they checked my passport again and then u had to go through security again but u had to take off shoes and stuff, then i sat on the chair and waited about 40 mins or more, then they started boarding and yea, so anyone who has a 3 hour layover, it's a lot.

Hi I'm flying from Germany to Russia. My journey is like Stuttgart - Istanbul - Antalya - Moscow. There are 2 layovers in Turkey, so I guess one flight is domestic right? "Istanbul to Antalya" but all my flights are in the same ticket. Same PNR and I'll get my luggage directly in Moscow. Do I need Transit Visa for that? Please reply.

I'm a first timer. Is 1 hour and 5 minutes is enough for transit? I know i'm probably need more time like someone lost😂 i just want to search more information before fly

Hi yea so there's different desks for different airlines, the one for turkish airlines is completely different and the one for other airlines is different, you can ask them for your second boarding pass, you can find the desks by looking at the screen on top of the counters, after you get your boarding pass you can go through the security and then to your gate by going through international transfers, since you don't have checked luggage you do not need to go through immigration or passport control.@@smith6368
