Cheers in advance You must be on the same flight as my pal who I'm meeting in Turkey Seemingly there's a huge complex filled with bars and restaurants just 5 minute drive from the airport so I'm thinking about getting the £10 evisa and getting out of the airport for a couple of hours. That's dependant on how long it takes to get through off course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehead Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I wouldn't recommend heading out the airport, will be a hassle having to head back through security and a clear risk of missing flight after a few bevvies and not keeping an eye on time! Instead, in my experience, much better off going to a lounge up the stairs. It's 15 euros to get in and it's all you can eat/drink. Sandwiches, cakes, fruit, cheese and biscuits, tea, coffee, soft drinks and most importantly.....bevy. There is a fridge full of beer, bottles of wine. Only benefit of going outside would be if you are a smoker, as you cannae smoke anywhere in the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 DoonTheSlope, I asked the same question recently & was advised you could just turn up on the day. 15 as well, can see it being busy with Scots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Looking to use the Istanbul lounges in both directions, more information here: http://www.primeclass.com.tr/en/Pages/Istanbul-Ataturk-Airport-Service-Prices.aspx It suggests your first visit would cost 40 euros. Still no booking information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
