  • 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.

    I am from the U.S. and when you were giving the size of something and the quote was " those of you from the U.S. It's the size of three AR rifle barrels " one of the best lines ever you had me. you don't over due it you just slide them in as your honest option of the feature you are doing at the time. Keep doing what you are doing you are well on your way just being your self is always the best. glad I found your channel.

    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.

    These lounges are usually extremely crowded, a lots of people with layovers who occupy two sofas with bags to sleep and whatnot. Otherwise, it's very handy. Sometimes staff is a bit slow to clean but generally good.

    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
      @fatihsahin5255 3 роки тому +3

      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.
