Extremely impressive! I’d definitely get up early to have an incredible lounge like that basically all to myself too!! Although it’s highly doubtful I will personally experience the Istanbul lounge, I loved doing so vicariously through your video! My favorites were the on-site pastry/bakery chef, and overall food options plus the cleanliness of the bathrooms and being offered slippers and a robe for the private showers!!! It seems no details were overlooked in the design of this lounge! This one is hard to beat!
Wow it’s an incredible beautiful spacious lounge I have ever seen. The lounge itself looks as a hotel/convention already. You were so lucky to have it all yourself.
@@MelsMilesandPoints I was laughing so hard when you said “nobody was crazy like me getting up this early” hahahah then my partner said we would do it too? I said no, our flight will be in the afternoon 🤣
@@lilian.bloom.petite.stylist But there's a dilemma 😂 My two options were leaving early and having a cabin with a 1-2-1 configuration so I could get a window with aisle access, OR flying in the afternoon but being in a cabin with 2-3-2 configuration which I hate 😭 Not an easy choice, right? 😅🤣
Your calm voice and the way you toured the Business Lounge were incredible. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into this amazing place. I can't wait to experience it with my family one day.
Mel, I suggest finding a later departure time, so you don't have to get up at 03:30! :-) But hey, that's what Av geeks do. What impressed me the most was that the lounge was set up and fully functional despite the early hour. I'm glad this lounge met your expectations, and you can leave them a positive review.
They actually had an afternoon flight that I considered, but it's an older Business Class product in which I wouldn't have had direct aisle access if I took a window seat ( and of course I'm taking a window seat haha). So 3:30 am it was! 😅 I was very impressed about how things were up and running too. And it was a nice bonus to have the place to myself!
I totally understand! It's tough for me when it's between Turkish Airlines flights because I love the food on the flights too. I have to make a concerted effort to pace myself 😂
Yes, they have sleeping rooms but they have rules about whether you qualify or not. I think they are meant for people with a layover of a certain amount of time 😴
Hi. I have the same question. Unfortunately I am not eligible to get a private room 😢 Did you see any good comfy chairs/recliners around the lounge where it's quiet and hopefully get some zzzz??? Ty!

@@MelsMilesandPoints 🤭🫣🤔 it’ll be 2 of us so we’ll be fine with 2-3-2. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I hope you and your family get to experience it soon ♥️
I visited this lounge twice. It was an incredible experience. Thank you for sharing the video!

I think it would be hard to find a better lounge anywhere. Wow!
It was pretty amazing for sure!! I think it just might be my very favorite lounge so far!! ♥️

Is a 3 Hour layover enough for visiting the Lounge?
I think it should be but does depend on how far your arriving and departing gates are and how long security takes. I hope you get a chance to go! 😄
I made the mistake of showing up to the lounge with a full belly. Won't be making that mistake again next time I connect there.

Were there any places to sleep?

@@MelsMilesandPoints Thank you!

Ty!
@@MelsMilesandPointsI believe its around 3hrs between flights that qualifies you to a sleeping room
I want to go🥵
I hope you get to soon! 🥰
