  • 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.

    My Backpack: Thule 23L Enroute Backpack
    My Suitcase: Rimowa Essential Cabin or Rimowa Original Check-In M

    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, have 2 free smaller showers with some amenities but not the bathrobe, and smaller 1 cooking area.
