First visit to new IST: some practical questions
Well my first visit to the new IST is coming up this weekend and I have a few questions which I wonder if those who fly there more regularly than I do, can help me with:
1. Is there a left luggage office at IST? (If so where and how much to leave a suitcase?); 2. Does the Istanbulkart work on the Havaist buses and can you add more lira to the card at the airport?; 3. When arriving at IST by bus or taxi is there a separate Business Class entrance as there was at Atatürk?; 4. Is it possible to check in a bag for a TK flight the day before about 18 hours before departure? (I suspect not, but just asking!); 5. Finally, and most importantly, is there still a manti station inside the Lounge? |
1- Yes, at the arrivals level. Have no information about the prices
2- Yes, you could use your Istanbulkart on Havaist buses. You could top-up your existing Istanbulkart at the machines at the public transportation level. 3- Entrance n:5 4- You should be able to check bags 24 hours before departure. 5- Yes, during lunch and dinner hours. Not after they remove food at night or during breakfast. |
Thanks ISTFlyer, what would we do without your local knowledge that you so freely share with the forum.
