What to do and see in Istanbul, Turkey: The Best Airport Lounges

January 28, 2022 Moriah Teneyck

The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

Turkish Airlines Lounge - Departures

Reviewed By Swedo2015 - Stockholm, Sweden

I have seen many lounges all over the world but so far I would say this one is one of the best. The food station was really nice, the Turkish traditional food and the salad section was great. Many different drinks to choose between. Alot of seating areas both for relaxing and eating. Cute children's play area. I will definitely recommend everyone to at least go here once to try it out. The hours will pass super fast !

Turkish Airlines Lounge Departures

Reviewed By kasehegep2016 - Ankara, Turkey

TK Business lounge in the new Istanbul airport is one of the best lounges we have experienced. It is clean, quiet (probably also due to several travel restrictions as we are travelling at the time of Korona...) and separate area for kids to play. Great variety of delicious food and good selection of beverages. Polite staff, high speed wi-fi, quiet areas for relax, international news... Nothing missing!

Accessible with Priority Pass as well as Oneworld Sapphire Status, the lounge has plenty of seating areas, food and beverages, a spa (Business Class and Platinum status and above only) as well as a number of private rooms. For a long layover after spending the day in the blazing hot sun exploring Muscat, I was able to check-in with Priority Pass and use one of the private rooms. The reception personnels were friendly and helpful and checked me through for 6 hours so I didn’t have to re-swipe after the 3 hours limit. The room was as spacious as any business hotel rooms with an en-suite bathroom. The bed was comfortable. It provided a quiet sanctuary especially during the afternoon hours when the lounge was busy and noisy. This was the best value lounge access provided by Oneworld and Priority Pass for my needs to date. I did also use the shower facility outside of the private room and that one does need improvements, especially in terms of turning over set-ups between uses.
