A great lounge, located by Gate 205 at SAW Airport, Istanbul, Turkey. It's a comfortable lounge with a wide variety of seating.
The food is limited, specially considering we are in Turkey which has an abundance of great food. Today there were a few cereal choices, two types of bread rolls, some sautéed potatoes and a tomatoe curry. Later on, a few plates of cheese and olives were available.
There are lots of soda choices and a great coffee machine.
There are very few people in the lounge as you have to have one of a few different kinds of AMEX cards. You're not allowed to bring a guest so each person must have their own card. This really limits on who is in here!
Overall, it's always great to have a nice comfortable quiet place to wait until your are ready to fly, however the limitations on who can come in here isn't such a great idea. This is an attempt to make it elite, however all you need is one of the Amex cards so it's not like there is a specificity on the class who can enter.
I had a relaxing time here with my daughter nonetheless. read more
