1/3 I am American citizen traveling from USA to Istanbul via Frankfort. I will travel from USA to Frankfort by American Airlines then from Frankfort to Istanbul by Turkish airline. Turkey required PCR negative test within 72 hours. My question the PCR test should be 72 from : departure date from USA Or Departure date from Frankfort Or from Arrival Istanbul?

It is 72 hours from the first embarkation point, so the time your plane leaves the USA

Update on this ridiculous situation: apparently if you are travelling from South Africa, UK or Denmark they will NOT LET YOU BOARD A FLIGHT unles syou are a Turkish citizen. Does anyone have experience with this?
