[2025 Istanbul Airports] Travel Guide for Istanbul Airport (Updated Mar)

Absolutely necessary! For those who are thinking about coming to Turkey, take a look! The five-star luxury experience with Turkish Airlines is truly off the charts in comfort An airborne feast with onboard wifi, highly recommended~~ This trip to Turkey included stops in Izmir, Bodrum, and of course, the capital of the world, Istanbul! Whether it's natural scenery or historical sites, it's all incredibly worthwhile~ From departure to return, it was business class with Turkish Airlines, where being well-fed and lying flat to sleep all the way to the destination was just too awesome, from free wifi to fine food and wine, a true five-star experience👍 I really have to praise this Beijing to Istanbul Turkish Airlines flight that departs in the early morning. After about ten hours of flight, you land in Istanbul just in time for a morning full of energy to start the day! After boarding, there are welcome drinks and a menu, because it's a three-course international cuisine made on the spot by a chef, so you have to choose what you want to eat in advance. Once you've ordered, you can get ready for a beautiful flight! The legroom in first class is spacious, and personal items can be conveniently placed in the space at your feet. Free internet access is so considerate~~ With a headphone pack, blanket, pillow, and even super practical slippers, socks, earplugs, eye mask, toothpaste, toothbrush, and lip balm, the flight becomes even more comfortable. Amenity kits, slippers, socks, earplugs, eye masks, toothpaste, toothbrush, as well as lip balm, face cream, body lotion, and perfume, make the journey even more comfortable. After the flight stabilizes, a flight attendant will come to set up your dining table. After a satisfying dinner, you can continue to enjoy snacks and fine wines. The meals are exquisite and the atmosphere is lovely, with a big difference from the small candleholder! Seeing that I was watching a movie, the flight attendant quietly handed me a small box of popcorn🍿️, which was really thoughtful! When I went to the place where the plane was prepared for meals, the flight attendant was also eager to show me the selection of red and white wines available, and the snacks were also unlimited! After a satisfying meal, the flight attendant will make your bed, and you can fall asleep just like at home~ When you're woken up by the flight attendant, it's already time for breakfast! From Istanbul Airport on the return trip, you must experience their business class lounge, with luggage storage boxes, meeting rooms, a library area, a children's area, and of course, a variety of freshly made delicacies. After eating, go downstairs to the shops to digest, where various souvenirs are easy to pick up, and you might even come across a super cool poster and Salt Bae's restaurant. The airport is not only the starting and ending point of a journey but also a meeting point of culture and history. Istanbul Airport is fun to explore and play in, with a strong Turkish character. Remember to get Turkish Airlines✈️, whether you're flying directly to Istanbul or transferring to other destinations, it's a great choice.

Ever wander around Istanbul Airport(IST)? Well for first timer, I’m glad to have the chance to do so in the world’s biggest airport. IST is in fact spread across departures and arrivals with lot of duty free shops, restaurants, cafes, currency exchange and other facilities you can find for an airport. Passengers may find wide variety of local and international brand stores around the airport too😁. #shopandtrip #travelwithgeo #summervacation #internationalairport #istanbul #travelphotography

If you love shopping and need to transfer after taking a long-distance flight, I highly recommend Istanbul New Airport in Turkey, because it is simply a paradise for famous stores, gathering world-famous brands and luxury goods: LV, Chennel, BV, etc. The most shocking thing is that these famous stores are 24 Open every hour, no matter it is early morning or early in the morning, as long as you have the energy, you can visit famous stores at any time. The famous store is located in the duty-free area, and the price will be lower than the original price. Due to the 24-hour operation, the salesperson said that their goods will arrive more frequently. Some popular products can be found here, but of course the quantity will not be large🤣 #shopping # shopping good place # transit first choice #名店

#bucketlistreboot New Istanbul International airport very strict security checks before entering the check in areas . There are many shopping outlets available duty-free. I find the design is very nice and spacious. their own also many local restaurants and international restaurant available in the airport. Advice to come airport 3 to 4 hours earlier I see you will have more times to do the final minute shopping one can also get a mini main bazaar replica outlets in the airport. 

Another day, another trip 😊 #tripmoments #travelling #airport

#celebrateit If you're traveling through the bustling Istanbul Airport, the IGA Lounge is a perfect place to relax and unwind. While the airport can be chaotic, this lounge offers a peaceful, spacious retreat. It’s the ideal spot to escape the noise and enjoy a bit of comfort before your flight. The lounge is impressively quiet and spacious, allowing travelers to truly stretch out and enjoy their time. The atmosphere is calm, making it easy to relax or catch up on work. The food offerings are diverse and delightful, featuring everything from savory meals to sweet treats. I particularly enjoyed the rich, moist pound cake and the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies – a great way to satisfy any craving. **Reasons to Visit:** - Quiet, spacious atmosphere to relax away from the crowd. - Delicious food selection, especially their cakes and cookies. 📍Address: Istanbul Airport, Istanbul, Turkey #Istanbul #Turkey

《Türkiye Istanbul Airport VIP Lounge》 This time, I went to an airport VIP lounge for the first time in my life. I used Trip to earn money to get it (I have to thank Trip very much.😆😆😆) There are two VIP lounges at Istanbul Airport. One is very famous, but it seems that only passengers in the Star Alliance Business Class can use it for free. The one I went to this time was given as a gift by Trip Accumulation. It is located opposite Gate A6. It’s not big, but it still has hot food and a simple salad bar, as well as a lot of canned drinks and coffee machines to choose from, which is pretty good! 👍

Istanbul International airport was so fascinating to me. There is a lot of shops and the duty free is diverse. I've been there 2 times and i was impressed. There is also a lot of luxury stores for shopping like Hermés, Louis Vuitton, Chloé, Kyliecosmetics and many many more. Although the food prices are a little expensive but i guess that's how is it for most airports. Overall 10/10 airport✨🇹🇷❤️

Istanbul Airport offers a seamless, human-centric experience with its modern design, efficient services, and a variety of shops and dining options. It's a great place to relax between flights, and I highly recommend exploring the Turkish delights or enjoying a traditional meal at one of the many eateries.

Trip.com User Experience Reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5) I booked a trip through Trip.com and it was pretty good overall.

Their prices are transparent and you can often find great deals, which is perfect for travelers who like to compare prices.

Istanbul Airport is known as the largest airport in Europe, and it offers warm "Oriental hospitality." Chinese signs and services make it convenient for travelers from the East. The dazzling array of shops and duty-free stores seem endless, reminding travelers that this is the crossroads of the Eurasian continent, a key fortress and hub. Istanbul Airport is very user-friendly, offering hot water, which is perfect for my "Chinese stomach." It's a pet-friendly airport, where pets have the same right to travel as humans. Families with children under 5 years old have access to exclusive security lanes. Various rest options and the high-quality Yotel hotel in the airport make long layovers less of a concern. If you like, the airport can also be a food paradise, with a variety of restaurants and cuisines. Before you even leave the airport, you can already "lock" the taste of the city in your heart. There's also a museum in the airport, full of history, that takes you on a journey through time.

In my opinion, out of the 13 airlines I have flown on this year, Turkish Airlines takes the best value for money and product in economy class. I paid SGD$1583.50 flying from Singapore to Prague via Istanbul and Munich to Sydney via Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur (codeshare with Malaysia Airlines). Seats came with both USB type A and type C charging outlets (which should be the standards today), loads of entertainment content, good seat pitch and lastly, great catering. By the way, the one drink you have to try on board is the sour cherry juice! It was amazing — and I bought plenty more when I was in Istanbul. Have you flown with #turkishairlines?
