10.11.2025Hey there I’m flying with SunExpress from London Gatwick to Antalya next week. Do I really need to print my boarding pass or can I just show it on my phone?

09.11.2025Hi everyone, I’ll be traveling with SunExpress and bringing my fishing rods. Do I drop them off at normal baggage or special luggage?

09.11.2025Hey everyone
I’m flying out from Manchester to Antalya next week with TUI Airways. I’ve done online check-in (got my boarding passes already) — but I’m not sure when I should actually show up at the airport. Do I still need to be there 3 hours before, or can I chill a bit since I’ve already checked in?
Cheers,
MarkJ

08.11.2025With SunExpress, you can check in online 36 hours before the flight — but if you’ve got sports gear or extra baggage, you must still go to the special luggage desk. I once carried scuba gear; it needed manual tagging.

08.11.2025Yup – I travel with Titan Airways for my company charters. They open counters about 3 h before take-off and close strictly 45 min before. Online check-in doesn’t change that because passports still get manually checked.

08.11.2025Hi Mark!
I flew last month with TUI to DLM – they still recommend 2½ to 3 hours before departure, especially on weekends. Even if you’re checked in online, bag-drop lines can be huge. Once I arrived just 90 min before and it was too close for comfort!

07.11.2025Hey, just saying – if you’re flying during summer, give yourself extra time. I got stuck in a 45-minute queue at security in Gatwick – nothing to do with the airline, just chaos. Even though I’d checked in online, I was running to the gate

07.11.2025For TUI and Jet2 flights, there’s Self Bag Drop now in some UK airports – super easy if you’ve checked in online. But you still need to be there early because bag drop closes 60 min before departure. Don’t risk it – Antalya gates can be far!

06.11.2025Hi all, I’ll be flying with my kids (ages 5 and 8). How early should I be at the airport if we’ve done online check-in?

05.11.2025I had a night flight to Antalya and was worried about safety & taxis — but it was totally fine! I booked an airport transfer via Travelassistant24.com, fixed price, English-speaking driver, smooth service and cheaper than random taxis outside.

05.12.2024I recently used the Antalya Airport transfer service, and it was fantastic! The booking was easy, and our driver was punctual and helpful. The ride to Alanya was comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend this service for anyone traveling to Antalya to ensure a smooth arrival at your destination!

01.06.2024Is it really true that you are not allowed to import stones or sand from Turkey into Germany? I'm going on vacation soon and a friend told me so, but is that really true?
Why?

01.06.2024Hello, our tour operator informed us that they will pick up us 5 hours earlier for the return flight transfer to . The drive from Side to takes just over an hour. When I complained, the representative told me that they drive to several hotels and therefore had to pick us up early. Well, if I have booked a shuttle transfer I have to accept it willy-nilly :(
We have now decided to take a private transfer from our hotel to . Which transfer company can you recommend to me? And what would such a transfer to the approximately cost?

28.05.2024For health reasons, I had a spice broth mixed in Turkey by a naturopath and had it bottled. That's all well and good, but how can I pass through the control at antalya airport?
