We spent almost all the time before departure in the IgA Lounge.
An extremely comfortable business lounge, spacious, lots of "air", an open layout with a view of the airport - you can safely watch the hurrying passengers. The only drawback: the business is closer to terminal A, so if you have a flight to Russia, then most likely it will be Terminal E, which means you will have to spend 20 minutes (!) to move from the hall to your gate, because the airport building is really gigantic!!
A great place to wait for a plane! The food range is small, but everything is delicious. There is a lot of space, you can find a place to sit. There are a lot of people, but you can find a place to sit.
Great gym! You can have a very good rest after a long flight before the next flight. A good selection of food and drinks. There is a playroom for children.
I didn't find any normal small airport Wi-Fi fries in the arrival area, and the infrastructure inside is just like that
But right at the exit from the airport there is a train that will take you anywhere, even to Izmir and any part of it, even to Foca and nearby cities. You can only pay with a card, as in Istanbul, with an Istanbul card. You can buy a card at a cafe at the exit of the arrival area for 300 rubles.
A very good place to take a break, charge your phones, have a snack (by the way, the food is very tasty). It's a pity they didn't think to come in earlier. Now we will definitely use it.
The lounge is small in the farthest corner of the airport. There are 2 hot dishes. Cucumbers, tomatoes, a couple of Turkish appetizers. Delicious Turkish tea, a variety of drinks, several types of beer, wine, lemonade.
Cool business lounge) but we were at the time of the Turkish airlines crash, when about 30% of flights were departing with huge delays. Accordingly, there were a lot of people) it was very difficult to find a lot) according to nutrition, there is basic food, soft drinks, wine, water, a place for smoking. 4+
A huge airport, an aviation hub, is conveniently arranged, everything is clear, the distances are long, you need to put in more time to get to the gate.
finally, a normal Internet connection at Istanbul airport... the speed is about 5Mb or less, but stable... it is enough for the duration of the event ... I even spent an hour of an online lesson on Telegram.
The staff do their job at the highest level, handsome. If something happens, they will help you, the main thing is to tell them everything you know, in short, they need information so that they can react quickly to your questions.
One of the most comfortable airports in the world... In the photo, the exit to the baggage claim area.. well... Because I'm going to get it now, too 😀 Have a comfortable flight through Istanbul Airport! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
A very large hub. The first time it's hard to figure out where that is. But the presence of our tourists makes staying at this airport more comfortable.
A very good one. The food is delicious, the drinks are
Without restrictions. We really enjoyed it.

We had 2 poached eggs on toast with avocado for breakfast everything seems to be fine , bread , egg and salmon , but a lot of lemon juice was poured into the avocado , it 's impossible to just eat , the coffee is very tasty
The madhouse will come and the transfer is terrible, I thought I was going back to Moscow on foot. Never again through Istanbul's new airport to anywhere.
This is a huge airport, they say, the largest in Europe, you can really get lost, you didn't find the departure and arrival boards-it's not convenient, but it's beautiful, and you can go out the daily rate of steps to find a toilet or a check-in desk.
