Someone mentioned that the Turkish Airlines lounge in Istanbul is even better than GVK. I haven't visited yet but would love to.
It all depends on your expectations and requirements.
Personally, I was underwhelmed by Turkish lounge. But quite likely because it was hyped up so much. It is definitely a great lounge but when expectations are set very high...
Also, to each his own.
Virgin lounge at LHR, Emirates at JFK, JAL at NRT, SQ lounge at SIN were all great. There are people who cant stop admiring GVK lounge at BOM and there are others who were complaining about mosquitoes and strong smell of spices...
I think overall new BOM airport is great. Now if only they fix the 30+ year old problem with pre-paid taxis (and now same with prepaid private cabs)...
(pain to find license plate number written on your receipt - wish they just use the taxi rank model used everywhere else in the world)
