With four hours to kill at Istanbul's Attaturk Airport, I thankfully got an entry into the world famous Turkish Airlines, to unwind and relax a bit!
With my carryon bag in storage, I was free to relax...
The best of Turkey showcased on this video wall, that truly inspires you to "Widen Your World"...
And it was a good idea to freshen up and take a quick shower...
And now time for breakfast - a variety of Turkish olives, traditional cheese and a bowl of lentil soup...
At this early hour, the lounge is teeming with fliers...
With the emergence of Istanbul as a trans-continental air travel hub and the growth of Turkish Airlines (it flies to more countries than any other airline), the airport is bound to be busy all through the day...
Exploring the live food counters - toppings for gözleme, a traditional Turkish flat wrap...
Gözleme being prepared...
My gözleme with bitter-sweet Turkish coffee...
And some sweets to go with coffee...
The chef's preparing simit akin to a pretzel...
Exploring the lounge...
A piano...
The gaming arcade...
Time to play?
Golf?
Time for television?
This two level lounge has caught the fancy of many intrepid fliers...
You have a choice of seating on both levels though certain amenities like showers and computer access is available only on the upper level...
The library with a pool table...
A lovely netted canopy...
As I head to my boarding gate, I cannot stop thinking of the lovely food I had in the lounge. Truly this lounge is one of the best I have been to, the food was so delicious that I could be in that lounge forever, or as I say "I Don't Want Nirvana! I Want Great Food, Always!"...
