Airports aren't much fun. They give travelling a bad name. I had a 5 hour stopover in Istanbul yesterday, not long enough to get out into the city but a very long time stuck on uncomfortable seats. So I found myself a comfy armchair. I had to pay 15 Euros (39TL) for the privilege of sitting on it but it came with 2 hours free internet, unlimited tea, coffee, beer, wine, rolls, soup, cake, salad and newspapers so well worth the outlay. I don't have any posh credit cards, so I just paid up at the door. If you find yourself at Sabiha Gökçen Airport and are travelling with Pegasus or Turkish Airlines, I suggest you head upstairs for the lounges too. The escalator is a bit of a tease - it only starts to move as you approach, so make sure you head for the one on the right hand side! The lounge in the domestic side is 29TL but alcohol free.
