So I land in Istanbul after traveling from South Africa via Doha.
The layover in Doha was one of the quickest I have ever experienced.
Layover time on my ticket looked like 1 hour... But as gates open roughly one hour before departure I would be landing just in time... and then the plane landed a slight bit late, so having never been in this airport I needed to get my bearings and fast, as I pass the security check point I find an info board, finding my flight high near the top of the screen I read that they are on FINAL CALL and at gate 21. Now to find out where 21 is, I look to the heavens... and on the roof to my left I see my sign "boarding gates 5-40" (or something like that), so up the stairs I go and luckily it was not a far walk, I got asked where I had just came from and after telling them I hear the one man say "only four more".
