In my experiences, I would take a longer transfer time. IST is immensely huge and USA bound flights require extra security.

Suggestion take an earlier ATH-IST connection
If I book it, I will be on a single PNR sold by TK. Unfortunately, there is only one IST-LAX flight per day, and there is not an earlier ATH-IST flight. But thanks for the suggestions

Anyone know typical gates for arrival from ATH and departures to the USA?
