I'd be grateful for advice on minimum connection times at Istanbul Ataturk Airport.
I'm planning to transit IST en route to Italy. I have a J redemption booking PER-IST and I'll arrive on SQ 392 at 7.45 am. I plan to connect to with a Turkish Airlines flight to Italy on a separate booking. I presume that the SQ check-in staff will be unwilling to check my luggage to a destination on a different booking (even with an Alliance partner) so I'll need to go through Immigration, customs and baggage claim followed by the full security and check-in process.
I'd be grateful for suggestions on how much time I should allow - I'm looking at a TK flight that departs 2hrs 50 mins after the scheduled arrival time but I'm not sure that will be enough.
