Turkish Airlines Istanbul Lounge

Istanbul International Airport opened up last year, and with that Turkish Airlines has a new home. This is also by far their largest hub, and so too the home of their flagship lounges. That's right, there are two lounges, which have different entry requirements despite being nearly identical on the inside. In this video, I take you through a detailed tour of everything there is to eat, play with and sleep on in this very impressive space.

Loved the video, but here’s the update: the carbon copy is closed. So now there is only one lounge. It is crowded (5 pm on a Tuesday). I don’t see an art museum. The library only has electronic access to materials. No golfing. The slot cars are down for social distancing. The shower was good, but all of the nap rooms were taken. Great idea. Fail on execution. And I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

IGA Lounge (credit card or fee) the only source for ice was the bar, and the lady refused to give me cup saying she doesn't have enough for people consuming alcohol (she had a big ice machine behind the counter) strange not give me some ice in a cup !!! IGA Lounge, have 2 free smaller showers with some amenities but not the bathrobe, and smaller 1 cooking area.

Beautiful Review as always ! I have twice been the victim of TK's "Forbidden Photography" policy which appears to be made up on the spot by select staff who feel they are above the CEO ! Nowhere on Turkish Airlines' website and Inflight Magazine "SkyLife" is this "Forbidden" policy mentioned. Looking at how big Turkish Airlines are on Social Media and Advertising,surely they should have a policy ? Imagine telling a Business Class passenger not to film or photograph experiences which will only inspire and encourage revenue ! Glad the Business Class lounge was more friendly.

@fatihsahin5255 3 жыл бұрын

You are right, there is no forbidden policy, unless if you are officially from press. Just tell them you are doing it for social media and you will be fine. And as you said, some morons thinking they are above ceo and dont even properly understand english, those are the ones that needs to be kicked out.

Hi, I have a 9.5 hrs layover at Istanbul airport. I have a priority pass with unlimited free visits. I understand the Priority pass allows only 3 hours max stay at IGA. Can I swipe my card again after 3 hours and use it? I want to stay there for atleast 8 hours. Also pls let me know if there are any other lounges in Istanbul airport accepting Priority Pass. Appreciate your help. Thanks and Cheers.
