Istanbul Airport
I apologise if this does not belong here. I will have an eleven hours connection at this airport, arriving at 0500. Any place to sleep? I did not find any hotel inside the airport. Lounges? Thanks

If you're flying Turkish Airlines and your flight meets the criteria, you may be eligible for a free hotel and/or tour: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/turki...cting-ist.html
Note that you'd be responsible for getting a visa, though.

Depending on your arriving and departing flight you might qualify for the free hotel as stated above. The other option is the TAV airside hotel or booking one of the airport hotels, you can get one of those for about $50 a night. Have a look at the link posted above

I have just checked it and it is €95 for 3 hours, very expensive. Unfortunately I will not qualify for the hotel as there is an earlier flight, but the fare difference is over €200. I still have 3 weeks, I will see, thank you all. How about any lounges?

Just be aware you might have to get a visa to clear immigration.
