I f this is a first trip to Istanbul Airport travelers should know that travel agents do not meet you inside of airport. You are told that they will be holding up signs and to be on schedule to meet them, but they are outside of building {in front}, not at baggage area. It is a great distance from baggage area to front of airport. Airport does not allow travel reps in airport.
