<h2 class="blog-hed2 my-4">Experience Istanbul Airport:</h2>
<p class="blog-para pb-lg-2 p-1">Istanbul Airport, also known as Istanbul New Airport (IST IATA), is the primary of two passenger airports serving the city of Istanbul (the other being Sabiha G&ouml;k&ccedil;en on the Asian side). It is 35 km north of Istanbul on the European side of the city. Just about every major city in Europe (including European Russia) has a direct flight to and from IST, and there are extensive connections across the Middle East, with destinations to the Far East, Africa, and North America also served. Many of these are operated by the national carrier Turkish Airlines, either itself or via code-share agreements.</p>

<h2 class="blog-hed2 my-4">Things to Do During a Layover or Transit:</h2>
<p class="blog-para pb-lg-2 p-1 tag">Since there is only one terminal built so far, with no rail or bus transfer system in place, you will probably have to walk everywhere. It can take quite a while to walk between gates, especially if they are at opposite ends of the huge terminal with its long concourses, so allocate sufficient time for connections. Estimated times to walk from the central terminal area to the furthest gates at the end of each concourse are around 15-20 minutes. <a href="../../../blog/things-to-do-in-istanbul-airport-during-a-layover">Learn more about THINGS TO DO IN ISTANBUL AIRPORT DURING A LAYOVER.</a></p>
