I flew HEL-GYD today, with HEL-IST arriving at A7 and IST-GYD leaving from B1. I consider myself lucky as the distance between the gates was rather short. I was in row 5 on HEL-IST and managed a toilet stop and a quick Duty Free stop on my way to the next gate, where I boarded immediately.

I am pretty sure that on my way back, I won't make it, as there will be security at IST. We'll see. But without security 60 minutes was doable.

16:07 flight from HEL landed
16:10 scheduled arrival time of the flight
16:24 I was in the terminal
16:38 I boarded the flight to GYD
17:10 scheduled departure time of the flight
