Flying Tripoli to Istanbul (Libyan Airlines) and then Istanbul to London (Turkish airlines) will have no checked luggage. Is it possible to transfer to connecting flight while staying airside or would I have to enter Turkey and then check-in at departures as of Istanbul was the original destination
Welcome to FT. Just proceed to the transfer desks airside. You may have to clear security again but you will not have to enter Turkey (since you have no checked luggage).
