Istanbul Airport - Terminal - Shopping

"Watch out for short layovers, often with Turkish Airlines. You'll end up running for your connecting flight and having to go through more security, if the queue is long you may miss you flight. Book the flight with enough layover time to make sure you don't miss you flight."

"Download the IGA app and you won’t need to search for the gate info boards. You can also find your path to the gate once it’s assigned based on where you are in the airport. The information for gate changes and gate assignment updates in a pash notification even before it shows up on the screens in the terminal. Very helpful! "

"Hot and cold water fountains near LC Waikiki store and Yotel Airside. "

"House Cafe has a nice menu with a quiet seating area, good amount of outlets for charging. "

"A lot of options, there is an area for kids for gaming. There is a paid museum and of course a lot of shopping."

"Gigantic airport with a lot of options."

"How can you give only one hour of public Wi-Fi for free? Also you need to get to a booth, scan your passport, get an access code and with that you can log in."

"Not always very clear"

"Large pen for boarding, there was an extra security check and a queue. The security check is a good thing but obviously adds on extra wait time. "

"There’s the huge central shopping area then gates on either end. There are quite far if you’re in a hurry."

"Plenty of shops but a lot of Duty Free, all I was looking for was some practical things like toiletries, couldn’t find any!"

"Big lounge with plenty of seating and a nap zone! Foods a bit limited but there is a nice terrace bar too.
"

"Allow plenty of time as there is security before check in too, it’s pretty quick but adds another layer of waiting.

You then have check in and then passport control followed by more security."

"About 10 euros for 24 hour access, bit steep and leaves travellers in the lurch a bit when you need the internet to get some information or update friends and family."

"Fairly quick and quite friendly. "

"Slightly confusing login to WiFi using sms and a code. "

"Had a flight from Tbilisi that was slightly late and had to run to try and catch my connecting flight to Manchester. Just an hour between them and the gate was really far away and security was pretty slow.

Had to enjoy a night in Istanbul."

"Quite a few around within the terminal"

"You only get one hour free access... not ideal for the meeting point of the world!"
