It’s about 1-1.5 hour wait. You are supposed to wait at your seat while passengers are leaving and others are boarding. On the way back, it’s a direct flight from SGN to IST.

I'm on the TK166 on 29/11. It seems to commence from HAN (Hanoi) at 17:40 and come to SGN (Ho Chi Minh City) where I get board and it is scheduled to depart at 21:35 to go to IST arriving at 05:25.
I'll report back if there were passengers on board when I travel

Flew IST to SGN yesterday and disembarked leaving passengers on board to fly on to HAN. There was an announcement made that HAN passengers needed to remain on board and after leaving the plane in the corridor we had to present our boarding card stubs and be ticked off a list. I presume this was the list of passengers who were leaving at SGN.
So if would seem you aren’t allowed off to stretch your legs and that the same arrangements would apply to the TK166 flight that commenced in HAN and stops in SGN on the return leg.
Have to say it was the best flight in J that I have had with TK in sometime. Really friendly helpful crew and nothing was too much trouble.
And the pumpkin soup was superb...

Hi @CoweyB, thanks for the info. Hope they keep up the standards in J as it will be our first time on TK J long haul my daughters first ever long haul flight.
Another good old flight with Mumm champagne served liberally. The wild mushroom soup was delicious.
