    Hello. I’m flying Turkish Airline from Ohare to Bangkok (with a 1 hour layover in Istanbul) and flying back with Turkish Airline Bangkok to Ohare (with a 1 1/2 hour layover). Shouldn’t the Airline give me both my boarding pass at Ohare (departure) and at BKK (return)? Or do I have to get my boarding passes upon arrival at Istanbul airport like you did? Thanks

    • @hilifetravel8764
      @hilifetravel8764  Před 12 dny

      Yes. The Turkish airlines Airport staff at Chicago O’Hare should give onward boarding pass for Istanbul to Bangkok flight and same for the return flight from Istanbul to Chicago boarding pass should be given to you by the Turkish airlines staff at Bangkok airport for the return flight. I hope that helps you understand the process better. Thank you for watching my video and for your question.

      If you are not going outside then no you don’t have to pick up your luggage. Just follow the signs for international transfer go through the security check again and go to the departure lounge and wait for your gaye to be be announced. Make sure that you get your boarding passes from Istanbul to Pakistan when you check in at the airport the airport in the United States. I hope that, I answered your question.

      If both the airlines are on one tickets then you you don't have to go through the immigration and customs or pick up your luggage and recheck in Istanbul airport. Just make sure to get your onward boarding pass from Istanbul to Sochi at Jakarta airport. But if you have two separate tickets for each airlines then you have to go through immigration and customs at Istanbul airport and then recheck your luggage at Istanbul airport. I hope this helps you understand the process. Please don't forget to subscribe my channel for more updates and more informative videos. Thanks again for watching my video and for your support.

    Hello, sir
    As I understood, if you have a layoff, you go the international desk to get the boarding pass to your another flight, and then you go through the process of security check in the "international transfer" section.
    Please let me know if I am not mistaken)
    Thank you in advance!!!

      @hilifetravel8764  Před 4 měsíci +4

      Yes, you are right. It is correct when you don’t have the boarding pass for your connecting flight then you go to international transfer desk to get your boarding pass for your onward flight but you can ask for your connecting flight boarding pass at the ticket counter of your airline when you begin your journey. But you are correct about the process if you need a onward flight boarding pass then you you first go to the international transfer desk. Thanks for watching my video.

      @hilifetravel8764  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes. It is possible to check online as long as you have a confirmed seat number from your origin. Also, when you check in at your local airport make sure they give you a second boarding pass for your onward journey if they do thrn you don’t have to stop at the transfer desk. All you have to do to watch the screens at the airport and when the flight is announced just go to that gate check in with gate agent. But I would highly recommend that you make sure that you have the onward boarding pass when you check in at your local airport counter. I hope this helps you understand the process.

      How long is your stay in Istanbul. Are you planning to go outside. If you are planning to go outside then you may need a visa. If you are traveling to any Schengen country or countries like UK then you can get a visa on arrival at Istanbul airport and that is if you are planning to go outside the airport.

      Are you traveling within Turkey or your final destination is outside Turkey? If you are traveling within Turkey you have to go through the customs and immigration process and once you’re done you will give your luggage back to the Pegasus airline staff to recheck your luggage to your destination. But if you are traveling outside Turkey you don’t need to do anything. Since you have a UK and Schengen visa and you have traveled on it then you don’t need a Turkish visa.

    • @hilifetravel8764

      The answer of your question is no. You don’t have to have a transit visa as long as you are traveling on the same airline and you don’t have a connecting flight with another airline. Even if you have a connecting flight with airline but both of those flights are on the same ticket coupon then you are okay. Make sure when you check in at Dubai airport tell your Pegasus airline employee to give you the boarding pass for your onward flight. Then you don’t have to worry about getting your connecting flight boarding pass from the transfer desk at Sabiha Gokcen airport. I hope this helps you. Thank you for watching my video.

In my opinion once you arrive in Istanbul just go through the international transfer and watch for your gate. I hope that explains you little better.

If you are traveling with a passport from USA or EU or Canadian passport then you don’t need a transit visa of Turkey to travel to Northern Cyprus otherwise if you’re traveling with a passport from India, Pakistan or some other country then will ask you to have a Turkey’s transit visa. This is the latest information that I just found out at the airport in Pakistan.

      Thank you for watching my video. To answer your question, yes you have to collect your luggage and then give it back to the Turkish airlines counter agent at the departure lounge. In order to that you have to through the immigration and customs for that you have to have the Turkish visa to go through immigration and customs. Since you have a 20 hours layover in Istanbul I hope you have applied for the Turkish e-visa online which is pretty quick and easy. I am wondering why do have two different PNR? Do you have two separate tickets on Turkish airlines. I know you have one economy class from India and Business class from Istanbul to USA. I hope that helps you understand the process. Please make sure that you a Turkish evisa before you leave otherwise it may cause some problems for you. Do you have Indian passport or you are traveling on US Passport?

If they forget to give you the onward boarding pass just go to the transit desk of Turkish Airlines when you arrive in Istanbul. Transit deak is located just across from the international transfer security checkpoint in Istanbul airport. I hope that helps you.

    • @hilifetravel8764
      @hilifetravel8764  Před 15 dny

      First of all thank you for watching my video. To answer your question about going outside of Istanbul airport in my humble opinion for you it is not possible because you you don’t have enough time to go outside even though you don’t need a visa because as an American you can get the visa free entry in Turkey now. Bit since your layover at Istanbul airport is only five hours and just to go though the immigration at the airport can take up to an hour easily and then you have a forty minute drive to Istanbul city center and another hour back from the city. Once you arrive back at the airport for your departure you have to go through two separate security checkpoints and the passport control as well which can take another hour or so. This whole process can take up to three hours so I think it is not very wise to go outside and risk missing your flight to Pakistan. However you can ask the Turkish airline office staff in Pakistan to give you enough time for lay over in Istanbul for you connecting flight back to USA. I hope this helps you understand the process.

Even if you are not and if you are holding just one ticket with this itinerary, when you check in at Jeddah airport just ask the agent at the ticket counter to make sure your bags are tagged all the way to London. Also, ask for your boarding passes for your connecting flights as well.
      Second scenario is if you are flying two different airlines and are holding two separate tickets then you have to collect your luggage at Sabiha Gockcen airport and use the visa on arrival facility at the airport and then recheck yourself with the second airline at their ticket counter and recheck your baggage with them. I hope that helps you understand how to deal with different scenarios.

      Yes. If you are traveling only on Turkish airlines and you have only one ticket with transfer to Berlin then you will receive your luggage in Berlin. You don’t have to worry about the hand carry just take with you in the plane and when you areive in Istanbul just follow the sign for International transfer and go through the security check again. Olease make sure that you have your onward boarding pass from Istanbul to Berlin otherwise the security check gates will not open for you. After going through the international transfer security just go to the departure lounge and follow the screens for your flight to Berlin. They usually gives you the gate number about two hours before the flight. I hope this helps you. Please don’t forget to subscribe and like my channel for more updates and more informative videos.

      First of all thank you so much for watching my video. I really appreciate it. To answer your question, let me say that once you go to the airline counter in India to check in for your flight ask the person at the Indigo airline counter to also give you the boarding passes from Istanbul to Toronto. Usually all the airlines have code share agreement. What Indigo employee will do is that they will tag your bag all the way to Toronto. You don't have to re-check in at Istanbul airport. But, please make sure that before you leave the Indigo ticket at Mumbai airport you also have the boarding passes from Istanbul to Toronto. The boarding passes would say Indigo on it but if you look closely it will have Turkish Airlines flight number. Indigo has code share Turkish Airlines. Once you go through the security check at Istanbul for transfer flight to Toronto go to the gate of the flight and show your boarding pass to the gate agent at Istanbul airport. He/she will check your documents and will give you a Turkish Airlines boarding pass. I hope this helps you understand the process. Enjoy your travels.

    Im going to usa for masters in usa f1 visa. In between i have a 7hrs layover in Istanbul. Do i need transit visa to roam around area near airport. I have indian passport and f1 usa visa

    • @hilifetravel8764
      @hilifetravel8764  Před 15 dny

      Yes. To go outside the Istanbul airport and check out the area around airport or go to the city for few hours you do meed a visa. In my opinion, I think seven hours layover is not enough time to go outside and come back as it will take you a good hour to go through the immigration process and then go outside and come back and go through two separate security checks and then another security check for the US flight. I hope that helps you understand the situation better. Thank you for watching my video. Please don’t forget to subscribe and like my video and share it with your friends.

    • @hilifetravel8764
      @hilifetravel8764  Před 2 měsíci

      I think you are asking me about the short international connections, right?. If you are, it means if you have short time to make your connections just follow the sign for the international transfers. For local transfers you have to go through the immigration and customs first and then recheck your luggage which mean you have to go upstairs and then you have to check in again at the airline counters and then go through the security check again which takes a while so if you have a short domestic connection like hour and half then it will be very difficult to make your flight.

      It depends on which country you are from. If ypu are from the USA, Canada or any EU country there is a visa fee. It is $ 35 dollars or 30 Euros respectively. The visa is a multiple entry visa for six months. Thanks for your question and thank you watching my video. Please consider subscribing my channel. Thanks again.

Do I need a transit Visa if I travel from the US to China by Turkish Airlines? My flight is from Dallas to Istanbul, 8 hours layover, then from Istanbul to Beijing. I have US passport and my parents has Chinese passport. We do not need to leave the airport. Thank you!

      @hilifetravel8764  Před 2 měsíci +1

      First of thank you so much for your time in watching my video and for your question. To answer your question, if your next flight is outside the Turkey then you don’t have to go through the immigration. All you have to do is to go through the international transfer process and go through the security checks one more time and then you will be in the transit area of the airport. But, if you want to go outside since you have a 8 hours layover in Istanbul then you don’t need a visa if you are carrying an American passport. Just follow the signs for passport control and the immigration officer will put and stamp on your passport and also they will take your picture as well. That’s it. I hope this helps you understand the process little better. Once thank you for watching my video.

      Are you going somewhere else from Istanbul or your final destination is Istanbul? From your question I think you have a layover in Istanbul and that makes me feel that you are going somewhere else from Istanbul. If you are going somewhere in Turkey then you di have to pick your luggage and go through the immigration and customs and then drop your luggage again to the next airline counter. If that is the case then you need to have a evisa. If you are going somewhere other then Turkey then you don’t need to go through the customs and immigration just follow the signs for international transfer and go through the security check again. I hope that helps you understand the process a little better. Thanks for watching my video. Please don’t forget to subscribe my channel for more updates and more informative content.
