I think I would only spend that much money if I had a very long stopover (4+ hours) since it looks rather comfortable and quiet. I'd also be disappointed by the food options. The only lounge I've ever experienced was an Emirates lounge in Dubai and that was incredible so my standards are set pretty high!
Nice to a video from the two of you again. A couple of weeks ago I was at Istanbul airport myself. The prices there were quite disappointing to me. At least as expensive as, for example, at Schiphol. By the way, I had a tasty meal at Saltbae. A delicious Hanburger with fries and an Efez draft beer for about 35 euros.
I completely agree regarding this lounge. We were there at breakfast time and the choice was very limited, and not great quality. No Pide for us either and the lounge was quite dirty with tables not being cleared quickly. More importantly, hope Maro is doing well !
Does the lounge at least feel cosy with plenty of comfortable seating options? I will have a 6 hour transfer at this airport soon and I am thinking about using this lounge. In your opinion does the lounge experience overall justify the high cost of it (foodwise notwithstanding)?
Loved the video and thanks for being honest as I like that , we had a lounge at London Gatwick before our flight to Dubai and it was embarrassing no food and what there was looked like someone had swept the floor and fed us that . Honestly I’d also seen it on RUclips but it was a massive let down . Keep well and keep fighting maro x
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the vid. Yes, honesty is the best policy and as you know we always voice our honest opinions in our videos :-D This is the poorest food we have experienced in a Lounge, hopefully it was just that day. We will give it another go next time we are at Istanbul Airport (which was supposed to be this June) to see if it is any better. Hope you are both well. Maro is doing well with the Chemo 👍 Kind Greetings to both of you from us 😊
I would pay it if I had a layover of more than 3 hours. If you think about it, you could buy a premium econ ticket, pay the 85 Euros for the lounge and still be paying much less than those flying in business class and still have a comfortable flight and transit. I just have never minded spending money while traveling...it's why I work hard.
Thanks for the video, I was just in the Istanbul airport for 6 hours and those lounges upstairs looked so inviting, also the food on the main floor of the airport was really overpriced. But considering its 85 euros for only 3 hours it really doesn't seem worth it.
Glad to hear that you enjoy our channel. We were only making a Transfer through Istanbul Airport so we did not visit the city. Hope to visit Istanbul some time in the future :-D
Very nice airport,it is also one of our transfer option for our trip to Asia,also to be honest i would not pay that amounth money for that lounge That airport is big enough that you can walk thru,see it,and of course eat good Turkish food for way less money
It is a nice airport and so was the Lounge, a big pity about the standard of the food. We would visit again one more time in the hope that we were just unlucky but... we would never ever pay 85 Euros for Lounge Access, that is way over priced by any standards (we have a LoungeKey). Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion :-D
I have been this lounge 2 weeks ago and It wasn’t even this clean and food selection wasn’t more than you had in this video. Veggies served in salad bar was really in poor condition (especially wine tomatoes, they were squished 🙁) There are two coffee machine and one of them was out of resources all the time, yes there were a lot of people but unless you call someone staff is not paying attention. Cleaning staff was working hard, and any time you ask something staff is helping immediately. So there are some issues like; 1. Food quality, 2. Under staffed (can’t handle customers with the number of staff available when there are more visitors than average) 3. The coffee machines they selected require constant attention for refill. Either increase the number of coffee machines or replace them with the suitable ones. I don’t think it worths for the price for the food wise.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully in the future they will try and do better. This lounge has the potential to be a winner, if they would just improve the food - it is after not a cheap price you pay for entry.
That is an offer we can see from their website (seen 30-08-24)!👍🏻 There on this date they write, "For a limited time, IGA Domestic Lounge is only ₺900 instead of ₺1200". Take note that offer price is for the Domestic Lounge! As far as we can see the price for the International Lounge is still 85 Euros for adults😉
On Turkish Airlines 1. There is no pork or lobster option among the treats, Singapore Airlines has it. 2.aircraft cabins are old, entertainment systems are old 3.Alcoholic beverage options are very limited 
Thank you for an honest review, the food looks pretty awful. But that aside, with the free alcohol and showers maybe is worth the 85Eur? I fly each two months through Istanbul and spent 60Eur on a Hamburger and a couple of beers at restaurant outside the security entrance. Never occur to me this Lounge...I will try it nevertheless and let you guys know what I think (I arrive at 3AM so I dont hope much for the food).
You are welcome! :-D As we wrote in a reply to another of our viewers, it is a very nice lounge with lots of space and comfortable sitting areas! The only issue we had is that price of the lounge (well higher than other pay-for-access lounges we have visited) and the food. We will give it a try again next time we have a longer Transfer at Istanbul Airport and we really hope that the food will have improved! With better food it would be a very good lounge! Looking forward to hearing your opinion! Have a good trip! :-D
We will try it again next time and hopefully the standard of the food has improved... otherwise it will be the last time we visit. Apart from the food it is a nice lounge with potential!

How are you ☺️ Maxi & Maro and I am Zack from Malaysia and I really like the video 📹
Thanks for watching Zack! We are good and hope you are too ;-)

I have 19 hours of overnight flight transfer, which arrives at 23:30. Can I rest and sleep overnight instead of booking a hotel in the city?

The price for this lounge on the Chinese shopping platform Taobao is 4 hours/40 euros
That is an offer we can see from their website (seen 30-08-24)!👍🏻 There on this date they write, "For a limited time, IGA Domestic Lounge is only ₺900 instead of ₺1200".

Is this Istanbul main airport or is it Gokçe airport?
This is Istanbul´s main airport (the new one).
Even business class has to pay to use the lounge???
On Turkish Airlines 1. There is no pork or lobster option among the treats, Singapore Airlines has it. 2.aircraft cabins are old, entertainment systems are old 3.Alcoholic beverage options are very limited

As a Turk from Sydney I wouldn’t spend that much on this place! The food looks ok but not worth it
Thankks for watching and for sharing your opinion! It´s a pity about the food as it is a lovely big and comfortable lounge :)
Hi H w u
Thanks for watching! All good on our end, hope the same applies to you :-D
Total scam
We will try it again next time and hopefully the standard of the food has improved... otherwise it will be the last time we visit. Apart from the food it is a nice lounge with potential!
