“Single Ticket / PNR Transfer (International to International)” on Turkish Airlines means this:
-
Single Ticket / PNR → Both your Karachi → Istanbul flight and your Istanbul → Munich flight are booked under one reservation code (PNR). This is one continuous journey, not two separate bookings.
-
International to International → You’re flying from one foreign country (Pakistan) to another foreign country (Germany) with a stop in a third country (Turkey).
What this means for you in Istanbul:
-
You do not need to collect your baggage in Istanbul; it will be checked through to Munich.
-
You will follow International Transfer signs at Istanbul Airport. You’ll go through security screening again but not Turkish immigration, since you are not entering Turkey.
-
Turkish Airlines will already have your boarding pass for Munich issued at Karachi (if not, you can get it at the transfer desk in Istanbul).
-
Your minimum connection time is usually covered by the airline — if your first flight is delayed, they are responsible for rebooking you.
It’s basically a seamless connection — you just change gates, not airports, and you won’t need a Turkish visa for this transfer.
If you like, I can give you a step-by-step walk-through of exactly what happens at Istanbul Airport in your situation. That way, there are no surprises. Would you like me to?
