The Check-in area at Istanbul Airport is designed to streamline your travel experience, but it's important to plan ahead. Turkish Airlines offers a convenient self-service bag drop option to help you bypass long queues at the counter, allowing for a quicker transition to passport control. Keep in mind that there is a security check before you get to the check-in, which, while generally efficient, may add to your waiting time. Arriving early will help ensure you navigate through security, check-in, and passport control without feeling rushed. With an overall traveller rating of 7/5, many appreciate these features, though a little patience may still be required in peak times.

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.
