A magnificent airport. For tourists, everything is clear and understandable. There are no queues, a lot of information boards and poles notifying about the time to the boarding gate (because the size of the airport is impressive, the ergonomics is amazing, one can only envy)
a huge airport. duty free is just super big. and that he's not the only one who likes it. There is a large duty free store in each direction.
Recently, the saltbae restaurant from a famous chef opened at the airport - it's impressive.
It's just a huge airport! There are a lot of restaurants, shops and bars, but this is in many airports) What was a pleasant surprise: several terraces for smoking. When departing from this airport, it should be borne in mind that in some cases it may take 20 minutes to go to the boarding gate at a brisk pace. In one case, my pedometer showed 1.7 km from the place where I was sitting and to the exit. Considering that these were not the farthest ends of the terminal
The airport is like an airport. Food, places for smoking and recreation, shops, everything is like at all airports... Russian russians (speaking in Russian) are the main thing! Always friendly, sweet and helping each other! It made me very happy and somehow touched me... People, thank you!❤
A very large airport, but at the same time convenient and thoughtful, there are smoking areas and many restaurants inside, although sometimes you have to walk for a long time due to the size of the airport
A cool airport, beautiful, prominent and stately. Lots of greenery, convenient accessibility, both by transport and just by metro. And the view... is a separate love story
The airport is gigantic just! There are a lot of cafes, but it is very noisy everywhere, there are no quiet places. In the center of the floor, in front of the duty free, there are several sofas with phone charging slots (red, round, with a black rod in the middle). You can also charge your phone in the seats in the waiting room. Gorgeous, huge duty free. Actually, everything is great, but you need to be ready for jogging. The building is really huge. It took 40 minutes to get to passport control from the sleeve. Upon arrival, it is better to book a transfer, taxi drivers are creepy. But! The transfer meets already on the street, not inside
I would like to express my personal gratitude to Kamil, an employee of Aeroflot, who works at the Istanbul airport in the Aeroflot office. He helped us a lot in our difficult situation, met us halfway and helped us in every possible way, unlike the hundred Turks we turned to. Thank you so much for your kind heart, Camille! And may the same open, responsive people meet on your way and help you solve your problem!
The airport is like an airport, everything is super expensive , probably like everywhere else at any airport . Duty-free is of course excellent, there are luxury boutiques, but the prices are also correspondingly the same.
The airport is cozy, there are many different shops and cafes, a large selection of goods for every taste, everything is clear with logistics, it is impossible to get lost, there are signs all around.
A very large airport. The prices are just not affordable. It's generally fine. The lira is changed at an unfavorable rate. You can change a little bit for the road. It is better to look for an exchanger in the city. I liked the city very much.
Новый аэропорт Стамбула впечатляет!!! Шикарный, огромный, очень красивый и удобный. Были в первый раз, было немного страшновато. Приехали пораньше небольшое знание английского языка нам помогло. По специальному табло попросили помощь к нам на связь вышла сотрудник все достаточно понятливо объяснила и мы без особого труда нашли свою стойка регистрации. Браво👏. Очень красивый и удобный аэропорт. С легкостью все нашли👍
A beautiful modern airport, stunning in its size. It is simply huge, It is convenient to get by metro, an Istanbul card can be purchased directly at the airport.
A chic modern airport, (but the toilets in Platov or Sheremetyevo are much more comfortable) a lot of branded stores, the distances are enormous, keep in mind and move to your exit in advance, especially when flying to Russia, (usually it's sooo far). And, by the way, unlike Sheremetyevo, no one will announce your names for boarding and wait too :) be vigilant while walking through the duties so as not to miss the flight. To satisfy the feeling of hunger - mostly fast food, but almost everywhere there is Turkish coffee. At currency exchange offices, you can bargain depending on the amount of the exchange rate.
There is a huge airport, there are business halls, many boutiques with brands, you can take a walk, there is a Kaymak restaurant - a gorgeous delicious place
It is huge, there are places without signs, information on the scoreboard is not displayed on time, the flight was postponed 3 times and all 3 times the hotel employee simply approached the crowd and gave out information in broken English. There are a lot of fakes in Dutik, prices are like in Moscow. 8000 steps wound easily. An hour of free Wi-Fi on a ticket, a ham pie and tea = $ 22... The staff is serious, they searched and checked the passports 3 times. That pleased me! So they are monitoring security. Special attention is paid to people in voluminous clothes.
The coolest airport in the broadest sense of the word, everything is convenient and comfortable for people. Everything is clear from the signs. I want to go to this airport again and again
Аэропорт новый, приятный, на входе удивила и порадовала большая игровая зона для детей с аниматорами, живыми комнатами(интерактивными), можно было и поиграть на муз.инструментах и порисовать, и посмотреть прежставление для детей. Все бесплатно.
Несколько крыльев- веток выходов, на разную сторону, и чтоб добраться из одной стороны в другую необходимо зааладывать время. Для расчета времени - висят табло - где показано примерное время ходьбы до выхода. На транзит нужно закладывать не менее часа.
A new, large airport, everything is best, but for me there is not enough professionalism for the airport staff. Our flight was postponed several times. Plus, the information board first showed a check-in at one counter, then at another, then an employee took us from line K to line C (damn, it's a long way to go with three children) and in the end they made us wait another half hour. In general, the interior is beautiful, everything is new, but the staff needs to be trained.
A huge airport. But, everything is intuitive, you will not get lost. There are many places to eat. That's just a little expensive! There are a lot of Dudes, they work around the clock.
A luxurious aerogavan with very high standards. Huge, Beautiful, Comfortable. It's a long way from the city. You need to arrive in advance. You'll find something to do and it won't be boring.
Excellent, the airport is super, everything is clear, understandable, customs transit is very easy and fast. We were in transit. “thanks.
There is a place to rest, the boarding pass is fast. In general, fly through Istanbul airport. Everything will be fine.
Istanbul Airport - but are ready for long pedestrian promenades.
Navigation at the airport is very convenient. Good and fast staff work at all levels , WS clean .
It is difficult to install wf, there are special racks - you need to specify a lot of information .....
Be careful the prices in the shops of the DF in € , in the cafe the prices are TL .
Good luck on the road !
Все хорошо! есть где присесть,перекусить,выпить кофе,чай, пообедать или поужинать, кухня очень хорошая!
Цены конечно дороговаты ну это во всех аэропортах к сожалению, ну если есть время между перелетами можно выехать в город!
Много брендовых магазинов и конечно же ВайКики!!! Где по сходной цене можно купить хорошие футболкии многое другое из натурального хлопка! Только надо быть всегда на чеку и проверять чеки))) иначе не хотя заплатите чаевые 🥴😆 что со мной было))) но я вовремя это обнаружила😜 а в целом приятный порт, что не маловажно чистые туалеты, есть всегда бумага))) есть платные тележки если не хотите таскать сумки ,очень удобно !я всегда подьзуюсь этой услугой, можно подключить вайфай бесплатно на один час, Всем хороших полетов!!!!
Excellent airport, great duty free, there is a metro nearby. To wait for registration, there is a food court on the second floor where you can charge your phone or laptop, food and water prices are high. The directions of movement are indicated on the walls and on special boards at the top. Upon arrival, it is better to go to the first check-in point, since there is less queue there
A beautiful, modern, large airport. Contactless self-check-in, if you have any questions, the staff is always ready to help. Assistance to people with disabilities at all stages of their stay at the airport.
A large, beautiful, modern, convenient airport. Excellent staff. Clear logistics. There are many duty free shops with good prices.
Cafes- inadequately high prices for food and alcohol, even by airport standards. Frequent deception when paying in euros and dollars - they have their own incomprehensible exchange rate. High tips are included in the order price.
A very convenient airport for connections, and if you travel in business class, then everything is perfect, everything is without queues , a good business lounge. In short, it is worthy
In a huge airport, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Praise to the designers and builders. The staff tries to do everything quickly and accurately, with rare exceptions.
An excellent airport, although very large, many cafes (expensive), smoking rooms are located almost everywhere where it may be needed, clean toilets, shopping 🤑
A large, beautiful airport. For those who are flying to Turkey for the first time, I speak with authority - it's not scary, everything is intuitive, there is navigation, people help if necessary. Features:
it takes a long time to walk from the arrival area to the passport control area. There are a lot of people at the control, but the queue is not long, because there are many points. After passing through, go to the exits. Set the time for the journey from the arrival area and if you fly back, then you will definitely need at least 20-30 minutes to get to this area. If you come faster, you can take a walk through the duty free.
A good modern airport. It is located 60 km from Istanbul. So it's at least an hour's drive to the historical center. And then if it's Sunday. Everything is intuitive inside. Passport control and baggage unloading are fast.
Amazing airport! Be sure to sit in the business lounge, where you can not only relax, have a snack, but also take a shower! The situation is calm, departures are announced!
How can you be at an airport like this and not have Wi-Fi? The whole problem turned out to be its connection, and then for 30 minutes they only give it for free. To connect, you need to find a special stand with a wi-fi icon, scan your passport, you will be given a password, enter it in the field when connecting.
It resembles a fairy tale where there is a hare in the chest, a duck in the hare, an egg in the duck, a needle in the egg.
It is very large, very beautiful and modern. The landing takes place quite quickly. There are no questions. Due to the long distances, due to the size of the aircraft factory, electric cars are available for people with limited mobility. For the rest, you can stomp your feet and use the travelators along the way, which is good - at least you can rest a little. A significant number of shops, many branded, world-famous, food courts for all tastes. And.... prices!!! For example, to eat for two at the McD - about 70 euros and you won't get burned, but you'll have an average lunch.
A modern world-class airport. The organization is at the level. Good navigation, lots of pointers. Smoking terraces. As in the city, there are a huge number of restaurants and fast food outlets, shops at the airport.
The airport is a very big, huge transport hub! That's why there's a queue everywhere!!! Take this into account when you calculate the time of arrival at the airport! There is a queue for registration, a queue for passport control, a queue for the business hall! Well, moving around the airport itself to the desired boarding gate also takes a lot of time! A huge duty free zone, you can buy goods without tax
Huge, chic, comfortable. Everything works like clockwork. The scales and well-established work are amazing. There are vending machines for free Internet for an hour. But on the way back, this function did not work, I offered to connect for payment (
It is necessary to look at the gate number for boarding in advance, distances can take time ...
a lot of places to charge your phone. There are many cafes and shops.
A modern and convenient airport. What do you want most at the airport? Drink some water. Here you can not buy three times a day, but fill any container you want in coolers in many places with hot and cold water.
A huge airport
Large areas
But also more and further to go to the side or to the exit
Of the advantages, for me there are a lot of places where you can just sit and give away a huge number of shops and pebbles, everything is decent
Minus the weak ventilation it's stuffy
And taa is super
This is the biggest airport I've ever been to. Therefore, if you are late, you will hardly be able to get to the boarding gate quickly, you can walk for 10 or 20 minutes. But despite its scale, basically everything is clear, fast and convenient, even for foreigners. Upon arrival, it is very convenient to use the free Wi-Fi connection desk for 1 hour with the help of a passport. Passport control and inspection were carried out promptly.
A huge airport where you can find everything , pharmacies , food, clothes, appliances.
There are no queues and jostling anywhere. Passport control is pleasant, you can go by phone, the ticket has not been printed for a long time, we take care of the trees))
Review of the new Istanbul Airport:
I would like to share my impressions about the new Istanbul airport. It turned out to be really impressive and full of amenities for travelers.
One of the best features of this airport is the availability of 5G connectivity throughout its territory. This makes it possible to stay connected to the internet at high speed during your stay.
Only flattering words can be said about the trading opportunities at Istanbul Airport. Everyone will find something to their liking among the endless selection of duty free stores and boutiques of world-famous companies such as Prada, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, as well as appliances. You will also find plenty of places to eat.
However, it should be taken into account that the prices for meals at the airport can be very high compared to Russian standards. With regard to catering, I would recommend paying attention to other options if you are looking for something more budget-friendly.
The airport also offers about five business lounges, the cost of which varies from 50 to 99 euros. In my experience, it is worth choosing more expensive options, as they provide more comfortable conditions and service.
I would like to note that the work of the airport as a whole is quite fast. At the beginning of this year, the metro was launched, and with its help you can quickly get to the center of Istanbul in half an hour. If you need to call a taxi, it is recommended to download a Turkish application in advance, which will allow you to easily make an order.
As for luggage, it is processed quickly enough, which is very convenient for travelers. In addition, visa and MasterCard payments are accepted at the airport, which makes payment easier for global travelers.
Sim cards can be bought at the exit from the airport of the three main operators for an average of about $ 20.
In general, the new Istanbul airport left a very good impression on me.
Комфортный аэропорт,очень большой,много кафе,обслуживают там довольно оперативно,качество еды хорошее,много всяких магазинчиков разной ориентации, есть достаточно мест, где можно просто отдохнуть,подождать рейса,есть свободный wi-fi на 1 час(оформляется через специальное сканирующее устройство с помошью личного паспорта,повторно такая услуга бесплатно не предоставляется,но можно продлить за деньги).Аэропорт приветливый,как вся Турция!)
A huge modern airport. Very clear logistics. Dutifrey with cosmic prices. Food with even more cosmic prices. If you want to save money, take a snack with you. Exit from the airport to the subway, or to the taxi stand.
Очень красивый новый аэропорт. Всё понятно и предельно просто распределено. Много магазинов, кафе и отдельно фудкорт.
Есть несколько бизнес залов, причем они кардинально отличаются по наполнению от Россииских, например есть red label))). Проход в бизнес залы доступен владельцам тарифа первый от Сбера, что само по себе очень хорошо.
Валюту там лучше не менять, т.к. курс не очень выгодный по сравнению с обменника и в самом Стамбуле. Такси в количестве нескольких сотен всегда наготове.
A very unpleasant situation with taxfree. It seemed that the staff did not specifically explain the procedure for taxfree registration to tourists in order not to return the money. The situation is as follows: I went to the counter with all the paid checks (amount +/-500 $) for taxfree, where everything should be processed and the money returned. The employee said that I should check in first, but did not explain that I should not hand over my suitcase at check-in. I checked in, checked in my suitcase and returned to the counter with the receipts and the boarding ticket. But this time the employee said that he needed a suitcase and without a suitcase and things he could not issue a refund. I ran to the reception desk and asked to return the suitcase, but they said that this was not possible, although it took only no more than 3 minutes. I went to the information service and explained the situation. I was told that the suitcase can be returned, for this you need to go down one floor below, go to another information service and ask them to return the suitcase. I found this service, explained the situation once again, they wrote me the number 40220 on a piece of paper and told me to call by phone. I called, explained the situation once again and asked to return my luggage for taxfree registration. I was told to stay there and that in 10 minutes the staff would come and help me. After 10 minutes, no one came up, the information service didn't tell me anything either, and I called the number again. To which I was told that it takes at least 40-50 minutes to return the suitcase. It was getting close to departure. I told them that I would miss my flight if I waited so long. To which they replied: "Yes, you will be late, but you will return your suitcase, and being late is your problem!".
In general, it seems that the whole system is built in such a way as not to return money to tourists!
A very clear and fairly simple airport. I was there four times, on the fifth I already started to think faster what and where)) It's almost like at home. Everything you need for a rest, if you have a long transfer. The staff is friendly, the customs does not find fault. I flew with my child, absolutely all the employees smiled at my son, shook hands and everything went fine. Russian Russian, by the way, is also spoken by some, if you suddenly do not know English, then you can leave on your fingers and three Russian words)) you can leave by metro, by bus, if you need a transfer, you can immediately arrange it near the exit. In order not to carry suitcases, there is a luggage room, I left it and went to the city for a walk. In general, it is really a very convenient airport.
