They have some insane loading process where everyone stands in the hallway with no seats while they load the plane, passing through a lounge with seats for everyone.

Is a 40 min layover enough to transfer planes? I saw some good deals with a short layover.

Definitely not! We’re on our way home from there now. Landed from Paris at gate A2 and then had to get to our connecting flight at gate E135!

How many hours did you have for the layover and how rushed did you feel? Did they offer an airport tram or something for those with shot layover?

An hour, and no, we walked.

When my family went there last year on a layover, we became separated while exiting the plane and my teenage son was almost detained because I had his documents and he didn't. It was a scary moment and told me that they don't mess around there.

This. Not safe. Arbitrary detention really happens there.

I would not choose Turkish currently, or any stopovers in Istanbul, despite great food and other plus sides (lots to see, etc). It’s so much worse than choosing many of the countries posters here won’t even consider for political reasons, hopefully people realize that.
