The HIA business lounge is a fraction of the size of the two in Istanbul, which together boast almost 140,000 square feet of plush sofas, reclining sleep-chairs, work places and even sleep alcoves.
Updated: May. 07, 2024, 6:58 p.m.The Turkish Airlines Business Lounge at the new Istanbul airport offers more than 70,000 square feet of restaurants, cafes, and entertainment to while away the travel hours.Airport lounges can be a most welcome respite for harried travelers, especially those traveling many hours overseas. And these days, with flight delays, packed planes and sky-high prices at airport restaurants, airport lounges are more desirable than ever.
The HIA lounge is a fraction of the size of the two in Istanbul, which together boast almost 140,000 square feet of plush sofas, reclining sleep-chairs, work places and even sleep alcoves. Istanbul’s business lounge would put many around the world to shame, but few are as spartan as the one at HIA, which doesn’t even have a coffee machine.
Once inside Istanbul’s luxury village, everything is free. That’s right, you can get non-stop wine, spirits, sodas, expressos, cappuccinos, lasagna, pizza, salads, all sorts of pastries and deserts, without paying a single lira. Did I mention the baklava and Turkish coffee?The question most travelers want to know is how to get into these places.
Some airport lounges allow entry to people who hold some upper-end credit cards like the American Express Platinum card. The card guarantees access to American Express’s Centurion Lounges, which provide generous amenities like free Wi-fi, food, drinks, and comfortable seating. But not every airport has a Centurion Lounge, and it could be in a terminal far, far away from where you take off.
