This has been discussed before but looking for recent and specific experience. We are flying Turkish Airlines San Francisco to Athens via Istanbul one ticket. We only have 90 minutes connection in Istanbul to connect to the flight to Athens. We are in our mid 70’s, in good shape will have our rollaboards and personal bags. A recent experience sprinting through another large airport was very uncomfortable leaving us in a sweat and unhappy. I see that IGA has some services for people over 65 but can’t find that they will meet you at the gate, drive you through security, get you to your next gate. It looks like we can take fast track through security then get a buggy in the departure area. But, watching You Tube videos I’m impressed even with that how long the walks are and with this tight connection we will be stressed. There are commercial services which will provide exactly what I want for about 360 Euros per person (!). Has anyone faced this and found a better solution? And I know Turkish Airlines will get us to Athens if we miss the flight but I’d rather make our connection and not have to endure a marathon sprint after a 12 hour + flight.
