Time to kill at Istanbul airport landside
I will arrive in IST around 11.00 from an international flight and I have to go landside, collect my luggage and check in again
my flight departs around 16.30 so check in would be open 3 hours before I guess
it’s not a TK flight
so I have 2.30 hours to kill
any proposal?
Are there any dissent coffee shops at arrivals? Should I get a room for few hours at YOTEL?
IST_flyer please help 🙏🏼

There is also a Caffé Nero outside on the way to the metro station, as well as another coffee store called Cups & Clouds.
If you want food, there is also a Burger King in the arrivals level.
So plenty to do and not worth paying a hotel at the YOTEL airside for those hours.
Be aware that all airport concessions are at least 2-3 times more expensive than downtown stores.

I was hoping for a place outside of the terminal
is there a metro in IST?
