I think I would only spend that much money if I had a very long stopover (4+ hours) since it looks rather comfortable and quiet. I'd also be disappointed by the food options. The only lounge I've ever experienced was an Emirates lounge in Dubai and that was incredible so my standards are set pretty high!
I have been this lounge 2 weeks ago and It wasn’t even this clean and food selection wasn’t more than you had in this video. Veggies served in salad bar was really in poor condition (especially wine tomatoes, they were squished 🙁) There are two coffee machine and one of them was out of resources all the time, yes there were a lot of people but unless you call someone staff is not paying attention. Cleaning staff was working hard, and any time you ask something staff is helping immediately. So there are some issues like; 1. Food quality, 2. Under staffed (can’t handle customers with the number of staff available when there are more visitors than average) 3. The coffee machines they selected require constant attention for refill. Either increase the number of coffee machines or replace them with the suitable ones. I don’t think it worths for the price for the food wise.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully in the future they will try and do better. This lounge has the potential to be a winner, if they would just improve the food - it is after not a cheap price you pay for entry.
Hope maro is doing okay and hope you maxi are staying strong for you and her
Nice to a video from the two of you again. A couple of weeks ago I was at Istanbul airport myself. The prices there were quite disappointing to me. At least as expensive as, for example, at Schiphol. By the way, I had a tasty meal at Saltbae. A delicious Hanburger with fries and an Efez draft beer for about 35 euros.
I completely agree regarding this lounge. We were there at breakfast time and the choice was very limited, and not great quality. No Pide for us either and the lounge was quite dirty with tables not being cleared quickly.
More importantly, hope Maro is doing well !
I would pay it if I had a layover of more than 3 hours. If you think about it, you could buy a premium econ ticket, pay the 85 Euros for the lounge and still be paying much less than those flying in business class and still have a comfortable flight and transit. I just have never minded spending money while traveling...it's why I work hard.
How are you ☺️ Maxi & Maro and I am Zack from Malaysia and I really like the video 📹
Thanks for watching Zack! We are good and hope you are too ;-)
Thanks for the video, I was just in the Istanbul airport for 6 hours and those lounges upstairs looked so inviting, also the food on the main floor of the airport was really overpriced. But considering its 85 euros for only 3 hours it really doesn't seem worth it.
thanks for the vid
i hope yur lady is feeling a lil better.
Loved the video and thanks for being honest as I like that , we had a lounge at London Gatwick before our flight to Dubai and it was embarrassing no food and what there was looked like someone had swept the floor and fed us that . Honestly I’d also seen it on TH-cam but it was a massive let down . Keep well and keep fighting maro x
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the vid. Yes, honesty is the best policy and as you know we always voice our honest opinions in our videos :-D This is the poorest food we have experienced in a Lounge, hopefully it was just that day. We will give it another go next time we are at Istanbul Airport (which was supposed to be this June) to see if it is any better. Hope you are both well. Maro is doing well with the Chemo 👍 Kind Greetings to both of you from us 😊
Your channel is very nice and interesting!! I hope you liked your stay in Istanbul. Greetings to Denmark :)
Glad to hear that you enjoy our channel. We were only making a Transfer through Istanbul Airport so we did not visit the city. Hope to visit Istanbul some time in the future :-D
Does the lounge at least feel cosy with plenty of comfortable seating options? I will have a 6 hour transfer at this airport soon and I am thinking about using this lounge. In your opinion does the lounge experience overall justify the high cost of it (foodwise notwithstanding)?
Very nice airport,it is also one of our transfer option for our trip to Asia,also to be honest i would not pay that amounth money for that lounge
That airport is big enough that you can walk thru,see it,and of course eat good Turkish food for way less money
It is a nice airport and so was the Lounge, a big pity about the standard of the food. We would visit again one more time in the hope that we were just unlucky but... we would never ever pay 85 Euros for Lounge Access, that is way over priced by any standards (we have a LoungeKey). Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion :-D
On Turkish Airlines 1. There is no pork or lobster option among the treats, Singapore Airlines has it. 2.aircraft cabins are old, entertainment systems are old 3.Alcoholic beverage options are very limited

Thanks for watching our video :-D
Even business class has to pay to use the lounge???
Is this Istanbul main airport or is it Gokçe airport?
This is Istanbul´s main airport (the new one).
As a Turk from Sydney I wouldn’t spend that much on this place! The food looks ok but not worth it
Thankks for watching and for sharing your opinion! It´s a pity about the food as it is a lovely big and comfortable lounge :)
Hi H w u
Thanks for watching! All good on our end, hope the same applies to you :-D
