I am planning to arrive at the IST airport on flight BA676 at 17:45. My next flight on a separate ticket is TK322 at 20:14.
1) is this enough time for transfer?
2) where can I find my first flight arrival terminal and my second flight departure terminal?.could not find this information anywhere online. Even Turkish airlines can't tell me.
3) my outbound flight is to Ashgabat, and even though the turkish airline rep told me online check should be available, I doubt it very much - since flying to Turkmenistan requires manual LOI checks. So if I can't get a boarding pass online, does that mean I have to go.all the way out to airline checkin?
4) will having a business class ticket somehow speed up my transfer?
Appreciate any information I could get on this.
1. Assuming everything is on time it should be fine. Presumably without checked luggage?
2. There is only one Terminal (with several piers)
3. Proceed to Connecting flights/Transit after arriving and there will be TK counters to check in.
4. Marginally, there will be a business class security line after you checked in.
