It's nobody's business but the Turks.
You know how I know you haven't actually gone? Because while the lounge should be awesome, fighting off 30 million Turks, bedouins and indopakis for a free seat makes it difficult to enjoy.
Never been there when it hasn't been a damn mosh pit

It's your first time or actually not there. An international airport in Istanbul has many business lounges - different airlines, private, etc. All range from very nice to mediocre. You just say "business lounge" but not which one.

The Turkish airlines business lounge is "the" business lounge and internationally renowned. It is indeed an awesome set-up but is ridiculously crowded with all manner of 3rd worlders to be comfortable.
Is that the Aggie game watching place in Istanbul?

I've been through that lounge many, many times and had long layovers of 10+ hours. Never had an issue with crowding, save maybe one time for just a few hours. The olive bar and pide stands slay. And the endless liquor.
Of course, I was travelling between Karachi and Tashkent that year and a half so my standards may have been a bit off.
Turkish air is my favorite airline. Such good food.
Never go to a bathroom in that airport that isn't in a lounge. Definitely a sketchy place to pee for such a busy airport.

So bummed that airport is closing! And as always, will totally miss that biz lounge there and buying my YSL Manifesto perfume @ duty free.
Can't wait to go back to Istanbul to check out the new airport!! Supposed to be world class!

If it's too crowded, I recommend the Saudi Consulate.

Smells like poor people in here

I have been there. Flew on Turkish air, too. It was interesting, but I dont recall anything really notable. Then my employer sent me to Nouakchott. That was about polar opposite.

Why do you people wait in these lounges? Is something wrong with your jets?
I only frequent them when my G650 is undergoing it's annual maintenance and I have to slum it with the commoners in international first class. Disgusting situation all around, but I can't stand hiring charters.Milwaukees Best Light said:

Turkish Air has a very nice business class product and the cost is peanuts. Houston to Dubai via Istanbul is around 3500 on Turkish, and 8k on Emirates
Food was good, I do remember that.

I didn't have the best experience with them back in 2013. That being said i was riding in coach and it was cheap, so I can't complain too much.
same here. i have never had issues with crowds in that lounge...the airport in general, yes, but not the loungeTheFirebird said:Sullys Guy said:Tecolote said:

The only crowding issue I've ever had in that lounge is when I want to play a game of pool and some jabroni's kids are fooling around with the pool table. Seriously first world type problems.gambochaman said:

The other thing about that lounge that is fantastic is that for passengers departing initially from Istanbul, there is a special line for passport control instead of having to use the poor people line.
You haven't lived if you haven't had connecting legs in JFK and IST en route to your final destination
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
