Crowded than the IST lounge but with worse food.
The lounge at SAW isn't worth visiting. It took me ages to find it and when I did, I took one look and left. Full of kids with toys and prams everywhere, seats covered with coats, bags, carry ons etc., poor food choice. Agree the lounge at IST is in a different league and not always packed. I was there last week and it was virtually empty. Great salad bar and even better dessert area.
All in all, I have found SAW to be a crap airport. Unfriendly staff and packed to the gills with LCCs - it's like Luton on the Bosphorus.
