I'm weighing up options to get back from a wedding elsewhere in Turkey. However, that destination has only one flight a day which lands 75 minutes before the BA677 leaves at 1735.
EF tells me that the D/I MCT is 90 minutes. However, assuming both flights are on time, is this doable in 75 minutes with hand baggage only? Also, to facilitate this, can I print my BP beforehand?
i've never used IST before so am a bit in the dark and sadly can't spare an extra day to visit Istanbul on the way back. Thanks all!
Don't do it.
Flights are frequently late into IST, the airport is completely overstretched until the new IST is ready next year or so.
TK's transit desk is always packed with missed connections, so get a protected ticket with TK on both legs. They have many flights a day to London, so should you miss the connection they sold you, plenty of other options.
