State of the Art Lounge in Istanbul
The world of extraordinary airline lounges has been enriched by another facet since this summer. With the opening of the new Turkish Airlines Lounge at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, Business Class travelers of Europe's fastest growing airline, as well as members of the airline's premium cards of friendly frequent flyer programs, such as Star Alliance Gold Membership, find access there.
The crowds in the lounge at 7 a.m. during the Connoisseur Circle local inspection are enormous, even after its expansion. No wonder.
Turkish Airlines has doubled its long-haul fleet to 36 jets within 12 months alone. The new "cip Lounge" offers around 3,000 square meters of space for up to 2,000 passengers. 80 employees are on duty at any one time. The lounge offerings are impressive and further fuel the competition among Europe's airlines to win the favor of travelers willing to pay. There is a cinema, pool table, library, dormitories, playroom for children and a business center. Showers are just as much a matter of course as free WLAN. Luxury caterer Do & Co has chefs on site who freshly prepare all the culinary delights - regional and international specialties.
The lounge is located in the international departures area of the airport.
In addition to the spacious reception area, there is also a separate entrance for top status customers and First Class travelers, where passport control can also be processed. Our summary: With the new Turkish Airlines lounge, the airline is continuing its ambitious trend of becoming one of the best and largest airlines in the world. We will be watching to see if it succeeds.
