I see. Thanks. As a passenger it is always a panic especially if not familiar with the airport and when there is long queue at check points.
May I add on, as long as you bought your ticket KUL-ATH and not KUL-IST and IST-ATH, the airlines are responsible for taking care of you at IST transfer. If your case happened in KLIA or Changi, you will see airlines ground staff holding placards with “ATH” and maybe even your name waiting outside. If Changi they will have a bugfy ready to whisk you off to the next gate. Basically a connecting pax on a delay arrival flight is like a VIP.Encountered before once on a MAS flight from Saigon which was delayed 2 hours, the ground staff were even more rushing. The moment the aircraft door opened they ran right into the plane (scaring the stewardess) yelling a passenger’s name and his flight nimber to Melbourne. Cabin crew then helped by using the PA, “Mr xxx please identify yourself to the crew, you have a connecting flight”. When he identified himself, well, it looked almost like an arrest, except it was 2 ground staff practically dragging him off the plane.
So not to worry, that’s your right as a passenger.
