Chris Tan 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 Two things I don't like about IST: the crowds and remote stands. Apart from that, I don't think it's a bad airport. It's also home to one of my favourite airport lounges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

affendi osman 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 Thanks for the tip. I will be checking my bags straight to OSL, and I will be arriving at IST at 5.00am local time. So hopefully I am able to skip the rush hour madness. Just by reading these skytrax reviews, they are really worrying me http://www.airlinequality.com/airport-reviews/istanbul-ataturk-airport/ Arriving in the morning should be fine, go directly to the transfer lane....and straight to the airside again after clearing security.
