Fast track in IST
1. When leaving IST, no problem, they give access to fast tracks (for security and passport control).
2. When in transfer, no problem, they just check your *G card.
3. The main issue can comes when exit in IST. The girls at the fast track are not super friendly and do not know any rules so you have to make a stop at the transfer desk and ask for a voucher. Gives you access for fast passport control (great because can be a real pain in IST).
Last but not least, and this is a very good news, you can also use the business class fast track when entering the terminal.
