Morning or evening flight on PTY–IST?
Operators schedule evening departures around 20:10 from PTY. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the IST delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from PTY to IST?
Great-circle distance is 10,819 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 794–957 min gate-to-gate on this route.
