Istanbul Airport

I have a domestic flight scheduled to land at 11:10 and then an international flight leaving at 1:55. Will I have time? If not it means spending another night in Istanbul.

We didn't connect thru the Istanbul Airport, just flew into Istanbul. It is a huge airport, we walked and walked. Hopefully your flights are connected on one ticket? If not, it seems pretty risky to me. In theory, almost three hours would do it, but what if your flight is late?

If your domestic flight is on time, you should have enough time. But nobody’s able to predict whether that’s going to land on schedule.

I don’t know if I would risk it. I would probably change my flight to the next day and plan on spending the night there. But regardless, at the very least, be prepared just in case that’s what you have to do.

Is this one ticket?

We connected in Istanbul but both were international flights as we were flying to Athens via Istanbul. We did have to change terminals. We had 90 minutes and had enough time to use the bathroom and buy a coke.

My colleague from Turkey told me it is the largest airport in Europe.
