Amal MohammadSeptember 23, 2016The flights always delayed for so many times which may cause missing the flights for non-Turkish speakers passengers ..
Florian AnAugust 18, 2013Be nice to the waitress at Center Point Restaurant and you may get a free WiFi password ;-)
H. Colbert (@hrsch)June 14, 2015Don't let them fool you: the WiFi is neither free nor abundant. It isn't even offered at the Starbucks, McDonald's, or lounges.
Daria SteshenkoJune 30, 2019McDonald’d in the Departures hall offers 1 hour free WiFi when ordering for 35 Tl or more
Always the worst airport experience. Overcrowded all the time. Checking-in and passport control takes ages. Go really early or get a fast track pass.
Chris MarshFebruary 20, 2018A bit of a nightmare to get to, but a breeze to get through once you get there.
Mesut DorukAugust 20, 2014Free fast WiFi. So you won't be bored easily. Duty free shops have reasonable prices
Far away from the center. Car is the only way 2 transport. Gözden de gönülden de uzak. Metro yok. Mecbur kalmadıkça ı ı.
Marwan RaghebNovember 12, 2019Overpriced shopping throughout this fairly disorganized airport. The signalization for the 300 gates is very poor, turn right and then right again before you reach the walking belt. Bad signalization.
Hanan AlhawsawiDecember 7, 2014Love this city and this airport so quite less than 5 min and u will hug Istanbul
Turkish AirlinesMay 4, 2016Searching for a unique cultural experience? Fly to Frankfurt with Turkish Airlines via Sabiha Gökcen International Airport!
Pie CaglarJune 22, 2019Good and relatively small airport. Qatch out for passport control queues! They can be really long.
Paula ZeltiņaNovember 17, 2014Definitely go through the duty free shops. Camel cigarettes for a surprising price of 18€.
Don't forget anything! Otherwise you can't stop the plane :)
Baby screams! They make your flight even worse. And the ones with afraid of heights. Set yourself free.
Looking forward to my flight with Air Arabia, my airline partner to and from the UAE 😊✈
Maryan RachynskyySeptember 15, 2014Free wifi with good quality in the transfer zone is available only near the gate 201.
Murat Can BuluzAugust 28, 2014Same system as Atatürk Airport. Again fancy but tiring. Free shops are much cheaper than Atatürk Airport!
Johnjaysus O'MalleySeptember 10, 2013Its takes a long time to get here from central Istanbul, 90 minutes or more, so leave early!
Redwan SulaimaniAugust 23, 2019My flight was late at midnight. I was surprised that most restaurants were just about to close! What airport in the world has this?
Why in passport control only 1 person is working ? when it's too much crowd and many people are staying in line . What kind a work this is ?
Alejtin BerishaFebruary 23, 2016How can a country be so anti-touristic? You dont even provide free wifi for visitors!- Lauren KeithMay 16, 2019It’s 2019 and there’s no free Wi-Fi at an international airport?! Not even at Starbucks. Ended up at Heroes and had to pay 50TL for a beer and Wi-Fi. 🤬
It was one big chaos yesterday morning. It took me two and a half hours to get from entrance through passport check! People got into physical fights out of fear to miss their planes! #bigfail
Stefan PerdalJanuary 8, 2012It's at the airport you get robbed! Not in the grand bazaar. Make sure, to make your purchases before getting to the airport!
José DavidMay 3, 2015Just a fair, small and cozy airport. Duty free is quite limited. Light in the ckin area is not sufficient. Cleanliness is ok. Pax survey tablets do not work fine but it's an ok airport. Damn far!
Small & functional airport. But why not offer free wifi?
Ralf WiechersOctober 29, 2016For domestic flights: After security the cafe Central point has WiFi for customers
Lyudmyla HoncharovaFebruary 4, 2014To get to the city just take bus K22 for 4TL till Kartal metro station. Jetin for metro is 3TL.
Although I’ve seen some kind and helpful people in this airport, most of the employees out here are impolite and aggressive. Even the clerks of the shops are impolite and respond aggressively.
It is a developing airport yet needs to renovate the old look within. Still looking like a bus station on steroids

"Good for Domestic & International Travels. Nice small Airport. Business Lounges are changing here a lot with lack of Credit Card Network Access. So many restaurants & coffee shops here, good shopping."
