Confused about this stop over - Turkish airlines - Istanbul (IST) to Cancun (CUN)
The route is a direct flight: 02/05 21:35 IST to 02/06 8:25 CUN (18h 50m) with a "Stopovers (No Connecting Flight) for Mexico City, Mexico Benito Juarez International Airport (1h 30m)".
What does this mean? Does it mean I need to get off the plane at mexico city airport instead of cancun?
Edit: Based on the first response below, I have another question. If I'm a Sri Lankan national trying to transit through Istanbul (IST) to Cancun (CUN) to Nassau (NAS) and the stopover is at mexico city (MEX), does this count as a double transit? I ask because I'm trying to transit without visa because according to TIMTAC, you can transit without visa aslong as it is 24 hours or less but you cannot double transit.
