Arriving on a Turkish Airlines flight
When you land on Turkish Airlines, your driver follows the flight using your flight number and plans around the actual landing time. After passport control and baggage reclaim, you’ll meet at the agreed point, or in the arrivals hall if you’ve chosen meet and greet.
Connecting with Star Alliance partners
As a Star Alliance airline, Turkish Airlines shares partnerships with other alliance members. If your trip combines Turkish Airlines with a partner airline, check whether both legs use South Terminal or whether you’ll need to move between terminals, and build that time into your plans.
