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.

Agreed great sence of humor that is slid in but still great info at the same time. 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. Thanks, a new Subscriber
I love the sarcasm, brilliant video!!! Thank you 🙏🏽
i’ve drinking problems and i’ve tought i drank everything. but whiskey in a hot Turkish tea... its another level....
Love the lounge thank you for covering the kids section that was the best. 👍🏻
I'm just about to cry. Missing traveling so so much!
Thanks for the great review! Safe travels!
I never comment on youtube but I loved this video. I really do miss Turkey, keep up the videos! :)
Man! These vids you are putting out are really good!

10/10 finish

Awesome lounge and great review!
The best lounge I had experienced. Great selection of food and beverages...
Love this! Thank you....I will be there in one week. Geat tips!
Really good vlogs and great voice overs looking forward to new travels 👍
The fact that they have an ART GALLERY in a lounge is just ...
Thoroughly enjoyed your video!!!
It is impressive lounge with good selection of food and beverage as well couple of live cooking stations
I like your style and intelligent reviews ;) great work
Miles of Smiles told you to get out. Lol. The lounge is a destination in itself and worth a really long layover. 👍
Ssssup Dork? You’re the best!!!! Rock on...
I was supposed to have a 5 hour layover here last month from Montreal to Singapore but Covid19 look after that. I am heartbroken after watching this video. Awesome content. Keep up the great work.
The music, the humor, and the great content. This is just relaxing lol. Thank you!
Love this lounge. Used it many times between DOH and FRA

Definitely one of the best channels IMO, and I watch a few aviation-related channels! Well done!
love that place, no problem spending 13 hrs for my layover: ate a crap ton, drank, took a cat nap, showered, ate again, then watched a movie on my laptop.
This lounge is really amazing -- seems like the best one ever! Also, you seem to be in fine form with witty remarks too! 😊
What a great video!
Turkish people know how to eat!
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.
Adorable. Subscribed!
OMG sacrilege!!! Whisky with Turkish tea...
The turkish pies are fawkin crack! I had connecting flights from the old Istanbul airport back in 2018, before the new one opened, and used the lounge there. When I tell you, my then gf(now wife) or myself went back like every 15 minutes for those pies, I'm not kidding. Those things are so good.
I love this guy's humor
enjoyed it thanks allot.
Whiskey in tea! Will never use those tea glasses 😛
Great Video
I think I would like to book a room and stay there for a week or so. Wow!
Awesome content. Love your sense of humor. Can’t wait for travel to get back to normal to visit this lounge.
Liked it!
The tea with whiskey got me 🤣
what was the music called? it is great background music for a lounge review
dont know how one person can eat that much in 1 sitting. Sir you need to watch Mikey chen right here on youtube, he can.

Thank you very much for the video I am leaving with Turkish Airlines in bussines with 7 hours of stopover and I was afraid of being bored
İ hope you get the opportunity to review the arrival lounge when it opens.
I've never been to one and i will finally be able to on my next trip so this question may seem weird but do I have to pay for the extra activities at the lounge?and the food?
Please do a review on Al Mourjan lounge at Hamad international airport, Qatar.😊

7:50 onwards would have had me spit out my tea if I was drinking any.

Does anyone know if business class lounge r open in Istanbul airport nowadays?
memleket ♥️
I was there yesterday in the lounge. Drank Tea and ate chocolate moose after having Turkish Pizza.
I am pretty proud For My country
Giving you kudos for putting whiskey in the tea.
question am traveling with a smoker, but we have business class tickets, are there any outdoor seating areas, i heard that you said, Enjoy iwth a cig, but didnt know if you meant in general or there at the lounge, - THANKS!
I would just go for longest layover possible if I had access to lounge like this :D I mean it's basically party of free food and alcohol :D Good way to recoup expensive business tickets :D
Hi, can we pay and enter the lounge if we are flying in economy class?
how does this lounge compare to the IGA Lounge?
are lockers free and for how many hours ?
Are the hotel-style bedrooms free?
Can you tell me if there open 24 h?
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.
Please upload more videos of airport lounges
Can Turkish Airlines Economy Class passengers enter this Lounge by paying using a Credit Card? I'm not a Miles and Smile member.
Is all the food free here?
I want to fly first class just to visit this lounge.

TK has no first-class. So dont even bother spending triple on FC, business is enough to access the lounge.

will my visa, mastercard creditcard will provide me entry to this lounge???
Are they open 24 hours?
nice.. are the food free for the business passengers?
I think you can try to go to comedy clubs sometime, probably you'll make a fantastic stand-up show!
Thanks
Thanks for an interesting and entertaining video! I have a long stopover at IST a week from now. Really looking forward to visiting IST and the M&S Lounge. Unfortunately only 3-4 hr flights, so had to book with the airside Yotel.
Is it wrong I want a plane ticket just to visit this lounge?
In Jan 2020, i stayed in the business lounge for more than 24 hours. believe me , you don't want that experience! Staying for 2 hours though would be delightful.

Doesn't seam to bad? You could sleep in one of those "hotel rooms' they offer, watch movies, play golf, read books, play video games, watch TV, shower, eat , drink, and chill. Not too bad way of spending 24 hours.
5:43 I noticed something missing ... Ice Machine, those water & beverages are not cold due high demand. 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.
Good to see Indian food in overseas lounges
Nice video..... Looking beautiful. Please come to India. 💐💐🙏 Thank you.... Dr Chironjib
