The new information for the people on holiday flying from Dalaman, is, check-in is now 3 hours before their flight and not 2 hours as it used to be.
We were told this by Fethiye Lovers, our transfer company, who we always contact us before we leave. We asked them to pick us up earlier.
We got to the Airport, last month, just under 4 hours before, went through first check-in with only a few people. Sat and read for a while and the check- in queues started with a few people we went over to join them, check-in was not open. It opened 10 minutes later. We looked behind and there were massive queues and so many people coming into the Airport. We checked in our luggage and walked to Passport Control. There were big queues outside the Airport.
We were glad we had arrive early. It may be a boring place to wait, but it is also a boring place to stand in a long queue with no air-conditioning.
Also, get down to the departures early as there are queues there. They pat down everyone boarding their flight an also you have to open all hand luggage for inspection.
