Just like last time, we had to get our boarding passes three hours in advance. So by the time we got our boarding passes, there was no way we could also wait in line for tax refunds for one or two hours. We had to give up.

Refund requires to pick up the registration form first, so it depends on your check-in time. Except for Turkish Airlines with dedicated refund window, other airlines refund together. In my personal opinion, it is necessary to arrive three hours in advance.

Refund at the new airport requires opening the suitcase and checking your items. There are only two windows, so it can be slow when there are many people. Many people eventually give up waiting.
