Surviving Long Layover at Istanbul Airport | Turkish Airline | Lounge access & Air side Rooms 🇹🇷 IST

In this video, I share tried and tested tips and tricks of surviving a long layover in Istanbul International Airport, also known as IST, which happens to be a hub of Turkish Airlines as well.
There are many options to manage a layover of up to 12 hours; however, for a longer layover, I would suggest that you take free room facility of Turkish airline even if you are not flying with turkish, get a room for yourself out of the airport.
Pls note that to leave IST airport International Zone, you must have a visa to enter turkey unless your passport doesn't require one. Some countries can get a turkisn E-visa online while residents of other countries might have to apply on paper, which takes longer.
If you have a valid US visa, you can get a turkish E-Visa on many passports, including pakistan.
