It's fine, but it's very big. Sometimes it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the desired gate. It would be necessary to provide moving tapes, such distances are too long for children and elderly people.

One of the largest airports, it seemed to me, as I walked from the plane to the bus. Passport control, customs, baggage collection - within the norm, In general, quickly. There are buses that take you to the city 10 times faster than taxis. It takes 45-50 minutes to drive to the center of the European part of Istanbul.

Be sure to exchange the currency for lira. Either at home or at the airport. We couldn't leave the airport for 2.5 hours without local currency.
The airport itself is good, there is a place to charge the phone, there are coolers with hot and cold water, a good food court.

A huge stylish airport with an excellent air conditioning system. There are free waiting areas on comfortable seats with a view of the heavens through huge panoramic windows.
There are also sleeping areas in capsules)
Keep in mind that you only need to pay by card, they don't take money in cash (there were both lira and dollars), I had to get out of it.
The Wi-Fi feature angered everyone, here we all agreed, they only give out a very dubious quality for an hour, then payment is needed.
Plan the time between departures, watched as people ran with crazy eyes to the flight, not expecting that the airport is really huge)

It's big, but when you run around sector a to sector f a couple of times and then back, you realize that everything is logical and In a straight line.
A very nasty priority pass sector. For some reason, they made a separate isolation ward for Russians, there is not even a toilet or a place to wash your hands, there is no food.
And since everything in Turkey is very ambiguous, I do not want to return.

It's huge, the navigation is clear, there are reclining seats, there aren't many of them, but we found it, and it was cool! Because the transfer was long and it was necessary to wait half the night.

Everything is clear, convenient, a big good airport. But why don't they sell bottled water in the waiting area and in duty-free. There is sweet cola on sale, but there is no clean water to drink.

The airport is modern, spacious, bright and very huge in size.
Remember that you need to come to it in advance, since the distances in it are kilometers.

A large airport, good intuitive navigation. There are a lot of shops, mostly expensive brands. There are legos, a couple with appliances. There is almost everything in cosmetics and perfumes, there are often profitable promotions with a big discount. Cafes are mostly expensive. Water 2 euros, cola 5. The Internet is free for only an hour, and even then you need to scan your passport and bother with a coupon.
There are a lot of places to wait, there is an opportunity to charge the devices.
In general, 3-5 hours of waiting can be experienced with relative comfort.

Very convenient airport, everything is clear at once, clean, lots of signs, easy to get to the right place
The only downside is that we were sent to register late and lost 40 minutes of our time, which could have been spent on duty free

Fabulous, beautiful Istanbul airport. There's a whole city inside. Boutiques, restaurants, cafes. And how much light there is just all sparkling. And what a beautiful stone floor with patterns. Escalators and moving walkways are everywhere. It's just amazing. The airport staff are responsive, they will show and explain everything with a smile, even if they asked in Russian. You don't need any translator on your phone. I was very pleased.

Everything is very convenient, people are friendly and helpful. Very clean, the toilets are clean. Lots of cool shops.
But I came across a sooooo sleepy-slow lady at customs. In her condition, I would send her to bed or to a therapist. The queue at her window took almost 3 times longer than the next two. This is the only thing that marred the stay at this airport.

A very large, modern airport. Clear navigation. The ability to get to the city by public transport (metro, bus). Boarding a taxi is well organized, but the payment and the trip to the hotel may be with small surprises) it is better to book a transfer in advance, it is more expensive, but without surprises)

One of the most convenient and most comfortable airports I've been to. But prices have skyrocketed over the past couple of years: in September, coffee at Starbucks is more expensive than a thousand rubles, Big Mac - almost 800 rubles in terms of lira. Eh

It is very beautiful, and most importantly a large Airport, the duty free zone is simply huge. The free Internet works either by scanning your passport through a special counter or by using the ticket number. There are many toilets, all are clean, and there are also mother and child rooms. There are a lot of baggage claim counters, but thanks to the scoreboard, you will quickly find where the baggage is issued. The most difficult thing for us was to find the right exit from the airport, where the transfer picked us up. But, if you are going to get there on your own, then the metro and regular buses are very conveniently located, there are a lot of signs+ very responsive people working at the airport who even in broken English will be able to help you and guide you ☺️

A huge, modern Istanbul airport. It's clean, convenient and there are too many shops.
A spacious parking lot for your car has been built nearby. The city is 50 km away, you can get there by taxi, but it is more profitable to rent a car.
Of the cons: very long distances and paid Wi-Fi, for free only an hour and that through dancing with a tambourine.
It should take a couple of hours to dock.

Big, beautiful. The planes are comfortable with tablets on each seat. They will bring you, they will take you.
You can navigate very well by signs even without knowing the language.

A new, modern airport. Of course, the biggest disadvantage is that it has now become much further from the city, BUT the metro has opened, there are buses and of course taxis. The scope of the building is certainly impressive, the airport is simply huge, made entirely in a modern style, a lot of glass and metal. And here you need to be ready to travel long distances from the arrival area to baggage claim, and if you have connecting flights, then from the check-in point to passport control and to the boarding point, get ready to walk a long distance and you will need to move very quickly so as not to miss your plane. But
with the help of pointers, you can easily find the right exit, which is marked with letters and numbers, there is another waiting room near each one, and at the right time you just need to go through the sleeve to the plane. After passing through the next passport control, we will get into a hall where you can say there is plenty for a shopaholic, because there are no shops here, from expensive branded ones to the usual mass market, there are still whole departments with Turkish sweets and dried fruits, which you can immediately taste on the spot. Duty free is very large and not one. But again, you need to put time on shopping, remember the distances from point A to point B are huge. Yes, the toilets, rest areas and waiting areas, smoking areas are all thought out clean and tidy. My overall impression of the airport was only positive, despite the fact that of course it is just huge, and you will have to walk a lot, but at the same time everything is clear, you can figure it out without problems, and most importantly, you can comfortably wait for your flight, which is basically the main thing in such places.

The airport is cool, the VIP lounge is a nightmare! VP has a crowd of people, more than in the main space. In the VIP room, waiting in line for the women's toilet for up to 30 minutes, then the same amount of time to look for a place to sit down, then the same amount of time to get to the leftovers😅

A large convenient airport. Clear layout. There are relaxation areas with reclining chairs. There are many catering outlets, but the prices are significantly inflated. Souvenirs and treats are better to buy in the city, not in Duty free.

A good modern airport. There is a good playground in the area before passport control. After passport control, there are a lot of duty-free shops, quite clear navigation. According to the priority pass, there is a small business hall, which has a modest selection of dishes and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Over the past year, the airport has become better, many new coils and shops have appeared, and several areas have been landscaped. Everything is convenient and comfortable.
Planes travel for a long time on the taxiway, sometimes up to half an hour…

An hour to go to the exit! The stupidest airport!! Crowds of people, queues everywhere, it's far from the city and it's even more difficult to get to another airport. What kind of fool built such a big airport and for what!? The old one is compact and much more convenient.and although it is small, the queue resolves faster there!!

The airport is like a city. It has everything for air passengers. Despite its huge size, it is impossible to get lost. Lots of pointers at every step. Everything is intuitively clear. The gate may be far away, but the time is written in minutes before it is found. There are many racks for obtaining a coupon with a Wi-Fi password, there is information in Russian. Valid for one hour. There is even a toilet for animals)).

A very beautiful modern and huge airport. We arrived and left without delay. Clear signs along the way where which zones are located. There are many scoreboards indicating the time and place of check-in and departure. There are also hints nearby on how much time it is in minutes from this scoreboard to each departure zone. A convenient airport.

The airport is very spacious and convenient.
For passengers with children (0-5 years old) and those 65+, I recommend going through personal belongings and passport control in the Family zone, you will save a lot of time and nerves, you will pass without queuing and haste.
On floor -2 there are bus stops that run around the clock in different directions, it is very convenient to get to Sabiha Gokcen airport, the last time the cost was 215 Turkish lira.

I liked Istanbul airport, it is very large, comfortable and clean.
The staff is attentive and friendly.
I would like to mention the recreation area for a long wait for transit, with drinks, snacks and hot buffet dishes, wi-fi, a scoreboard with departures.
I really liked everything.

A clean big airport. Inside, the logistics is stretched, but in principle everything is clear.
In terms of services, cash payments are not allowed, and Russian cards do not work.
The recreation areas have become very expensive, at 400 euros per person per day.
But in this case, the capsules from the D sector will help out.

The airport is huge, its size is amazing. And the fact that there is no such inspection as in Russia. Turkish Airlines takes care of the passengers. There is a free guided tour of Istanbul with an English-speaking guide and free two meals a day at Tamara restaurant.

A huge transshipment point. A lot of people, a diverse dialect. A huge number of shops. There are significantly fewer places where people could sit down. Often, passengers spend many hours waiting for their flight. In places, people are lying right on the floor. A lot of toilets, in general -3 points for cleanliness, while in the toilets of terminal "C" there was a cleaner in the toilet at all times, cleanliness by 5 points. There is always a toilet for the disabled. Threshold-free space. A sufficient number of catering outlets with space prices: a bottle of water 0.5 liters of water -600₽. There are devices with a water fountain, touch activation (if you come close, it turns on). If there is a container, you can fill it - for free. Nearby, the device with hot water could not be found out whether it was working or not, the container with cups turned out to be empty. Auto rickshaws take passengers to their departure waiting area. It is very stuffy in the customs inspection area. Everyone is sweating. During screening from connecting flights, passengers are allowed to bring bottles of water into the waiting area. It is comfortable in the halls. Information records in various languages of the world, of course with "mandatory" Arabic and Chinese. In Russian, no. In general, the airport staff tries to help you, some using a mixture of English and Russian words. Russian Russian. At the same time, I came across one young employee, with whom I started communicating with a greeting in Russian, showing my boarding pass, he replied in English that he did not know English, while pronouncing this phrase well, having a Slavic appearance and an accent very similar to Russian. It's kind of weird. There are many devices at the airport that distribute free Wi-Fi. But, once a day and for one hour. To get free Internet, you need to scan the passport strip, select 1 hour of free Internet, press "print", printing the number that you need to enter on the phone when connecting and enter the passport number on the phone - that's it. If you want more Internet, you need to enter your personal data and your card details for payment. There are devices for free charging of electronic devices in the recreation areas. All movements between floors via escalators, to distant terminals via travelators, the transition between the aircraft and the airport building via a telescopic ladder. At the same time, when boarding the flight to Moscow, the escalator was turned off and it was necessary to go down the stairs, 5 flights, feet up to 15 cm high, there is a railing. The impression of the airport was ruined.

This is the worst airport in my life. It is large, but it is equipped in such a way that there are a lot of people everywhere, at the entrance, at passport control, at the security check. Baggage check-in starts two and a half hours in advance, but the distance and queues do not even allow me to enter the business lounge, as I have to walk very far from the lounge to the boarding gate.
