Security and passport control
Passport control takes place on arrival and departure. Although there may be visually long queues, you will rarely wait longer than 30 minutes.
The classic security checkpoint is located, as at all airports, between the public and transit areas.
In addition, however, you must go through baggage screening when entering the terminal from the outside.
Moving between terminals
Transfer between T1 and T2 is possible by free airport bus running in the public area.
The stops are always in front of the departure halls and are clearly marked with a large orange sign.
The bus between the terminals runs twice an hour during the winter and up to 4 times an hour during the summer season.
Transfer between flights
Antalya Airport is not a typical transfer hub, but some airlines - notably Pegasus Airlines and SunExpress - also offer guaranteed connecting flights.
International <-> International
There is no need to leave the transit zone for this type of transfer.
However, the transfer must be guaranteed or you must have a boarding pass for the connecting flight and travel with hand luggage only.
- baggage on transfer - will be transferred automatically
- security check - yes
- passport control - no
- average transfer time - 30 to 40 minutes
International <-> Domestic
In this case you must always leave the transit zone, collect your luggage and check in again.
Often there is a transfer between Terminal 1 and 2, which is arranged by a free bus running through the public area (stops are outside the departure terminals).
- Transfer baggage - you must collect and re-check in
- security check - yes
- passport control - yes
- average transfer time - 60 to 75 minutes

Day. I am flying with SunExpress from Paderborn to Cyprus, changing planes in Atalya. As I understand it, I only have to walk from T1 to T3 without leaving the terminal? What about the suitcase, will it be carried as transit baggage or do I have to pick it up and check it in again? Thank you
I am coming from Cologne to Antalya with Sun express but then I will be taking Pegasus airlines from Antalya to Beirut. Should I go though the passports control ? I am wondering if if I have to change the terminal ?
thank you for the help
I will be coming from Cologne to Antalia with Sun express then having a connection from Antalya to Beirut. Should I change the terminal? Should I pass by security check passports ?
If you continue with Sun Express, you will not change the terminal, see information above.
If you do not have to check in again (=you have bought your ticket as one booking), you will not have to go through passport control.
Fresh experience:
Terminals and their use according to photo:
Transportation between terminals by free airport shuttle bus.
Travel through check-in without check-in time at the counter, so directly with only ticket in mobile phone and cabin baggage 45 min in the morning at 4.45am at terminal 2.
Thanks a lot for the info, I will update everything gradually!
