The Check-in process at Terminal at Istanbul Airport offers both traditional and automated options for travellers, particularly with Turkish Airlines providing a self-service bag drop that can streamline the process. Despite its convenience, it's important to allow ample time for security checks, which occur prior to check-in, and additional security measures after you check in. Overall, the traveller experience rates a 7/10, reflecting the benefits of automation but also the potential for added waiting times. Arriving early can help ensure a smoother journey through the terminal.

Crowdsourced tips for Check-in at Istanbul Airport - Terminal
I love having the bag drop option from Turkish Airlines - no need to fight the long queues at the counter, you can do it yourself and it’s all fully automated! Makes it much quicker to get through to the passport control step.
Allow plenty of time as there is security before check in too, it’s pretty quick but adds another layer of waiting.
You then have check in and then passport control followed by more security.
