The airport is cool, beautiful, and technologically advanced! Information boards abound. Free WiFi. You can easily navigate through the panel. But sooo big. Therefore, if you are departing from Istanbul, set aside as much time as possible for arrival, check-in and baggage drop-off. And yes, if your goal is the Fatih area, then it is better to choose flights to Sabihi or Attatürk, because the metro line from the new airport in December 23 has not yet had a direct connection to the M2 line (Gayratepe station).

It is inadequately expensive.
Shawarma for the price of dinner for two in an average Istanbul cafe.
At the same time, when I refused to take it, I heard a comment addressed to me in Turkish.
If you have to stay there for a long time, you can walk for a long time, but the price tag is taking into account the dirty capital of this country, where packages are instead of bins....it is not clear what the margin is for. What they sell in boutiques is likely to be found at the grand bazaar))))I didn't find a couple of things in vain, even walking to the shops out of boredom.
Over the past 2a years, Turkey has enriched itself at the expense of tourists with such price tags, but why they live like in a dumpster is not clear.

If you are flying with a connection, take time with a specific margin! There is a place to walk and it may happen that you will have to walk 20-30 minutes from the passport control area to the gate. If you are still fans of shopping, then come to the airport really earlier. A big and beautiful dude! Here you can really go through clothes and cosmetics) so keep this in mind)

Fabulous, beautiful Istanbul airport. There's a whole city inside. Boutiques, restaurants, cafes. And how much light there is just all sparkling. And what a beautiful stone floor with patterns. Escalators and moving walkways are everywhere. It's just amazing. The airport staff are responsive, they will show and explain everything with a smile, even if they asked in Russian. You don't need any translator on your phone. I was very pleased.

A very large modern airport due to the large flow, you always need to have time in reserve since you will have to stand in multi-meter queues and if you have a taxi, then you need to keep in mind that you need to get it before passport control. And the main thing is to understand that everything is very expensive at the airport.

A very large, modern airport. Clear navigation. The ability to get to the city by public transport (metro, bus). Boarding a taxi is well organized, but the payment and the trip to the hotel may be with small surprises) it is better to book a transfer in advance, it is more expensive, but without surprises)

It is a very large and beautiful Airport.
We were in NG, they even handed out champagne in the waiting room, but apparently only for connecting flights from Russia.
The international terminal is very long compared to domestic flights, BECAUSE there are a lot of people from Arab countries with an armful of children.
There are many options for food, as well as for shopping, but prices for clothing brands are more expensive even than in the city itself. Perhaps this is the norm, but we were very surprised when the Polo is 4 times more expensive, and of course in euros. Fire on services, taxi rental, dry cleaning, hotel booking, capsule, taxi free, fountains with free drinking water and charging places, etc. - everything is there. It is important to note that parking and buses are on the minus ground floor. The airport is sooooo big, so it's better to put time on navigation, and if you don't walk well, it's better to take a scooter or a cart with a cab. From one exit to the other easily on foot can be up to 45 minutes at a regular pace. If you want to take a bus to Istanbul or another city, it's very convenient to go to the side of the bus station / bus operator's parking lot and buy a ticket directly on the bus with a Union Pay card (accepts Halyk Bank) or in cash (accepts euros and dollars and Turkish lira). The main thing is to read the inscription on the front window in front of the driver to which city and place the bus is going. There are kiosks at the AIRPORT where you can buy a bus ticket from different cab operators. In January and February, be sure to bring an umbrella in Turkey during the rainy season.

It is very beautiful, and most importantly a large Airport, the duty free zone is simply huge. The free Internet works either by scanning your passport through a special counter or by using the ticket number. There are many toilets, all are clean, and there are also mother and child rooms. There are a lot of baggage claim counters, but thanks to the scoreboard, you will quickly find where the baggage is issued. The most difficult thing for us was to find the right exit from the airport, where the transfer picked us up. But, if you are going to get there on your own, then the metro and regular buses are very conveniently located, there are a lot of signs+ very responsive people working at the airport who even in broken English will be able to help you and guide you ☺️

Огромный стильный аэропорт с отличной системой кондиционирования. Есть бесплатные зоны для ожидания на комфортных сидениях с видом на небеса через огромные панорамные стекла.
Также, имеются зоны сна в капсулах)
Имейте ввиду, что оплатить требуется только по карте, наличкой деньги не берут (были и лиры, и доллары), пришлось выкручиваться.
Фишка с вайфаем злила всех, тут мы все объединились во мнении, тк выдают только на час очень сомнительного качества, дальше нужна оплата.
Планируйте время между вылетами, наблюдала, как люди бежали с очумелыми глазами на рейс, не ожидая, что аэропорт, действительно, огромный)

Большой аэропорт, хорошая понятная навигация. Много магазинов, в основном дорогие бренды. Есть лего, парочка с техникой. В косметике и парфюмерии есть практически все, часто бывают выгодные акции с большой скидкой. Кафе дорогие в основном. Вода 2 евро, кола 5. Интернет бесплатный только час, да и то надо сканировать паспорт и заморачиваться с талончиком.
Мест для ожидания много, есть возможность зарядить утройства.
В целом 3-5 часов ожидания можно пережить с относительным комфортом.

Но мне попалась ну ооооочень сонно-медлительная леди на таможне. В ее состоянии я бы отправила ее спать или к психотерапевту. Очередь в ее окно прошла почти в 3 раза дольше соседних двух. Это единственное, что омрачило пребывание в этом аэропорту.

Новый, современный аэропорт. Конечно самый большой минус, это то что он теперь стал гораздо дальше от города, НО открылось метро, есть автобусы и конечно же такси. Размах здания конечно впечатляет, аэропорт просто огромный, сделан полностью в современном стиле, много стекла и металла. И тут нужно быть готовым проходить большие расстояния от зоны прилета до получения багажа, и если у вас стыковочные рейсы, то и от места регистрации на рейс до паспортного контроля и до места посадки на самолет готовтесь пройти большое расстояние и передвигаться нужно будет очень быстро чтобы не опоздать на свой самолет. Но
с помощью указателей можно легко найти нужный выход, который обозначен буквами и цифрами, возле каждого находится еще один зал ожидания, и в нужное время надо только пройти по рукаву в самолет. Пройдя очередной паспортный контроль, мы попадем в зал где можно сказать раздолье для шопоголика, потому что каких тут только магазинов нет, от дорогих брендовых, до обычного масс-маркета, еще есть целые отделы с турецкими сладостями, и сухофруктами, которые тут же можно на месте продегустировать. Дьюти фри очень большой и не один. Но опять нужно закладывать время на шопинг, помните расстояния от точки А до точки В огромные. Да, туалеты, зоны отдыха и ожидания, места для курения всё продумано чисто и чисто. Общее мое впечатление об аэропорте сложилось только положительное, несмотря на то что конечно он просто огромный, и ходить придется немало, но в тоже время все понятно, без проблем можно разобраться, и главное с комфортом дождаться своего рейса, что в принципе основное в таких местах.

Огромный, современный аэропорт Стамбула. Чисто, удобно и слишком много магазинов.
Рядом построена вместительная парковка для вашего авто. До города 50км, можно добраться на такси, но выгоднее арендовать машину.
Из минусов: очень большие расстояния и платный вай фай, бесплатно только час и тот через танцы с бубном.
На стыковку следует закладывать пару часов.

A very large international hub. It is necessary to pay very close attention to the connections, the logistics time inside the airport can take 1 hour. There are a lot of people, passport control is weak in terms of capacity, there are few cabins for such an airport, you can only lose 30 minutes here.
Otherwise, everything is great, the finish and scale are at a high level.

Nothing good. Yes, benches, yes, beautiful. But we didn't leave. We were sitting in front of entrance 13, we were kicked out of the boarding area, and we were waiting. There was no one there. But then the scoreboard blinked: after an hour and 2. After a second, information about this flight disappeared from the screen. At the counter, they requested the purchase of a ticket worth more than our 2. Otherwise, the reverse would have been lost. Nothing personal, just money. They are charged for everything. Wi-Fi is free only for an hour, trolleys are paid. You will not find administrators during the day with fire, there is no information desk. Everything costs a lot of money. I won't fly through it. It's disgusting.
