Should I be rebooking for a longer layover?

Thanks!
The MCT for TK Domestic to TK Domestic is 45 minutes and it's totally doable.
There are no security checks in between and the domestic section of the terminal is relatively small.

If your time is on time, even if you park at a remote stand, you would make the connection.
If not, TK would rebook you to the next flight to NAV free of charge.

However, if you would like additional peace of comfort, book a longer layover. Note, that in case you voluntarily change your flight, you wouldn't get your money back for paid seat assignments ( just in case you did pay ).
