My husband...who I rarely travel with...has also used the lounge on a business ticket, and said it was awful...packed and no food.Is it possible he went to the wrong lounge? We always fly in and out of T3.
I think the one I went to was on an upper level, will a huge entrance. Could someone point me to the correct lounge? I can't find a map on the net. I just want to use the correct one..I know it wasn't Merhaba...
Any help would be great...thanks
Theoretically if you are in Silver and traveling Economy you will not be able to enter the Biz lounge in T3 with your husband (which is for Biz class travelers and Golds without guest privileges) but rather you will be directed to the Silver card holders lounge near gate 122 in Terminal 1. The lounge dragons in T3 may cut you a break if you are very polite and undemanding. With regard to crowds it is indeed the Biz Lounge in T3 that has become a zoo at many times of the day and in fact I often head to the lounge in Terminal 1 if my flight is leaving from that end of T3 or of course from one of the T1 gates.
