MIA Turkish Lounge Priority Pass
There is a new PP lounge in MIA between concourse H and J. No info in PP about their hours. So I went there early in the morning 6am today. There are already several groups of people there. Hot breakfast served by staff. It is close to DL gates, which is an alternative to Sky Club. Centurion lounge is way too far from south terminal.

I am regularly flying out of J with LH or LX. This new lounge was the only open lounge when I flew out of MIA at then end of August. It is certainly better than the lounges (Avianca, LATAM) in J that I used to visit pre-covid: drinks are prepared ad served at the bar, and warm food is served at the table, while cold food has to be picked up.

I stopped by this lounge on Monday at 5:45 PM
The lounge is midway between the H and J concourse.
Getting in took close to 10 minutes. There was a single agent on duty and she had to check in people coming in on various methods (PP, Star Gold, EK status etc)
The lounge itself was extremely crowded in an unpleasant way
Food and drink were fairly limited and not of very high quality. Overall a disappointing lounge.

I think the Turkish lounge might also sell day passes to anyone that walks in if they want, regardless of airline or status. Not positive of that, but it's impression I got while in the Delta lounge - the agent there kept turning away people that weren't qualified to get into the Delta lounge and suggesting that they could go there and get a day pass. She seemed to have that speech well memorized.

Just to add some thread signposting, since it's a little confusing. This is the Star Alliance lounge for TK, which isn't available on Priority Pass but appears accessible via multiple other mechanisms. There is a TK lounge which appears to be mainly Priority Pass members, and isn't particularly well placed for TK's own flights, over in concourse / terminal E. Information and photos can be found over here:

Was denied entry to the J/H TK lounge on 1/16, they had a sign up saying that Priority Pass hours are 7pm-close. Tried to take a picture and they covered the sign with their clipboard.
I can understand they want to retain capacity for customers of the airline and their alliance partners, but they need to have accurate hours in the Priority Pass listing. I asked if this policy was just today or every day and they said this is their policy 7 days a week.

Visited this lounge about a week ago, nice lounge. It was empty when I came around 2:30am. They had foccacia, wraps, loaves and a minestrone soup. You can order by scanning the QR code and for breakfast, they had scrambled eggs and spinach, hash brown and French toast. Sadly, the only shower was not working when I asked the staff.

Anyone with recent experience with PP lounge on Concourse E? I'm trying to figure out if I should pay the $7pp to reserve spots on a Saturday around 4pm. I figure I'll go to the PP Corona Beach House for dinner, (unless the lounge has great food), since my connecting flight isn't until after 7pm.

On Sunday, around 230pm, I didn't have a problem getting in and there were a bunch of seats open in that PP area.
