Istabul Airport has Disappointed Me


 This is a development gone wrong. The old airport was maybe a little bit more crowded, but I would take that over this now one.

- Luggage carts in the terminal: need deposit. Why? It is not like I could take them into the plane. Besides, nowhere near the gates, so you have to schlepp your stuff to the main concourse first - 1 hour free Wifi???? A joke and then 6,50 EURO for something that about every airport offers unlimited FOC - Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong ways. I mean really long. If you have to go through the passport control between flights, better make sure to have enough time - Woah! Expensive. Look, ALL the Duty Free shops are empty, shop keepers bored. Wonder why. - Maybe it is the high prices and the lack of customers: EVERY staff we interacted with was grumpy. No, you don't owe me, but I like to feel welcome when I spend money. Look at this menu! I rather starve myself for a few hours. - Seemingly not much to do to pass time. Lucky are those with lounge access. - Cleanliness could be improved in the toilets. Still ok, but starting to get smelly. Overall, this airport should have a look at other new developments.
