TRANSFER AT ISTANBUL International Airport in Turkey 🇹🇷 How to walk to a connection flight

In this Transfer at Istanbul Airport video we take you with us through the new Istanbul International Airport in Türkiye - Turkey - and show you what our Transfer experience was like. If you have a Transfer / Transit at Istanbul Airport please bare in mind that your airport transfer experience may not be the same transfer / transit experience as ours. We had just arrived from Cape Town, South Africa on a Turkish Airlines flight and had to make our way through Istanbul International Airport to the Gate of our next flight which was to Copenhagen, Denmark also with Turkish Airlines. This transfer video will give you an idea how long a walk could be from Gate to Gate. Along the way we also show you arrival points such as where the Passport Control / Immigration is if you are exiting the airport and for those who have a Transfer we show the location of Security Control.
The New Istanbul Airport is located in Turkey and the Airport Code is: IST

Wiki writes about the New Istanbul International Airport, "Istanbul Airport (IATA: IST, ICAO: LTFM) (Turkish: İstanbul Havalimanı) is the main international airport serving Istanbul, Turkey. It is located in the Arnavutköy district on the European side of the city. All scheduled commercial passenger flights were transferred from Istanbul Atatürk Airport to Istanbul Airport on April 6, 2019, following the closure of Istanbul Atatürk Airport for scheduled passenger flights. The IATA airport code IST was also transferred to the new airport Once all phases are completed in 2025, the airport will be able to accommodate 200 million passengers a year.

I been that airport 6 times but last two was great, one flying to Indonesia other to flying Thailand from USA, 6 hour layover was best time i ever had in any airport in the world. Food and drinks was delicious but not only that I took a shower and rest 3 hours before my next 12 hour fly. (Turkish airways, Miami to Bali)
What a experience ❤
I love your videos ❤❤❤

Thank you, guys. Yesterday, I remembered you, ihihi. I arrived in Istanbul at 6:35 a.m. and had a flight at 7:20 a.m. I managed to get to the boarding gate at 7:00 a.m., but I was running like an idiot in the Istanbul airport.

Note: Turkey follows a safe/secure country system for international to international airport transfers. For example, if you fly from Poland, Finland or Austria, (all of Europe really, not just the EU) Japan, So. Korea, or Canada to Istanbul to connect to a flight to Mexico, Germany or Spain then you will NOT have to go through security in Istanbul, leave the plane and go into the main terminal to catch your next flight. The only check is coming off the plane a person is there to see if you have an onward ticket/boarding pass. Coming from South Africa and other designated non-secure countries you will have to go through security (not customs or immigration) at IST before making your international connection. Few know this and unfortunately this aspect is not well publicized.

Thank you Maxi and Maro for this info. I will be travelling with Turkish Airlines from the UK to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia via Istanbul airport in October. As I am an amputee your video has inspired me to now request assistance. I had no idea of the walking distance involved. Thank goodness I am a subscriber of your channel.

That's a really long transfer walk, the airport is so huge. Enjoyed watching the transfer walk. Have a good rest of your day.

I was here yesterday for a 2 hour layover and watching this video before travelling helped me A LOT to catch up to my next flight. 2 hours was almost not enough to get through it all and imagine if i didn't watch your videos :< THANKS FOR THIS AND ALWAYS KEEP SAFE DURING YOUR TRAVELS.

Thank you for the video, your flight from South Africa (a country considered unsafe) required you to go through security a second time for this international transit in Istanbul.
But I specify that in general when you make an international transit during your stopover in Istanbul, it is not necessary to go through security because you do not leave the international zone of the airport.

The best video about transfers in IST! Thank you!
