I called Indigo and they gave me a mixed message - you cannot leave the airport but maybe you can talk to the airline officials. Has anyone tried this? I'll be with a 4 year old kid, so definitely don't want to spend 20 hrs in Turkey airport! There is no clear info on the Indigo or Turkish Airways website.
