Transit at Atatürk airport [duplicate] - Young ethnic man in earbuds listening to music while waiting for transport at contemporary subway station

I am traveling from Dusseldorf to Istanbul and then from Istanbul to Beirut on December 22nd. I have 2 hours between my 2 flights. Both flights are with Turkish Airlines.

Do you think this is enough time? Do I have to go through security check again?



Best Answer

I've transited through this airport a handful of times in the last 6 months. About half the time after disembarking there is someone on the airbridge who will let you go directly to departures if you already have an onward boarding pass to show them. The other half of the time, there's been nobody there and I've had to go to transit security. Typically that has been quite quick and I've been through in 10 minutes or less.

Two hours is more than enough in my experience.
