Sep 2024
Do not book the flights to Heathrow as they are star allience joint flights there are a lot of issues with the check-in and transfer documents are not checked in Turkey so there is a huge wait time problem during the border control due to this. It takes approximately 15 minutes for someone to go through checks because of this and if you are back at the que after the flight this issue costs you 2 hours wait time at the airport.
