kumnio Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If you want to leave the airport, yes. You can get the eVisa online, think its about £20, very easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McTeeko Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 FFS, I’m two nights in Istanbul on the way. Didn’t know about a Visa 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnbruman Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I'm in Istanbul Sunday and Monday - fly to Tel Aviv on the Tuesday. Usually buy a Turkey visa online first but I think you can pay at the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed near there on way to Georgia last time - Sultanahmet - but I'm near Taksim Square this time. Its an amazing city if you haven't been before. I'm travelling Billy Nomates - meeting my mates Tuesday in Tel Aviv - if you fancy a beer any of the nights - its no bother travelling anywhere in the centre including Sultanahmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelling alone too so I’ll no doubt take you up on that offer 👍🏼🍺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Whats the main Istanbul Airport like for layovers at night? Got almost 3 hours on route to Beirut next Monday (10pm until 00:45) and close to 5 hours (01:00 - 06:00) on way back from Tel Aviv. Basically not there long enough or at a time which makes it worth to leave the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff in the restaurant and bar were the most obnoxious shower of cunts I’ve had the misfortune to come across Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone at the airport were useless cunts. The main airport is much better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ataturk is a busy airport and just finding somewhere comfortable made it worthwhile, the inclusive food and drink helped as well. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrived at Dalaman airport 2 years ago with my family. We all got through except my youngest daughter, she hadnt booked her online visa. I had to go back through passport control to get her and the bloke pointed us to a wee booth where a woman was sitting eating a sandwich. We went over and I said ‘visa’ ? She looked at me and shook her head. I brought 20 quid out my purse. She grabbed the money and my daughters passport with one hand, stamped the passport with the same hand and pushed it back through, all whilst eating her roll with her other hand. No checks or forms whatsover 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
