"Absolute nightmare,
dirty, smelly and full of nasty looking people who took exception to my
England shirt." (Scott Wood)
"I had never seen a squat toilet and was overwhelmed by the stench."
(Heather)
"Metal seats make it quite drafty, so buy a newspaper to spread over
the seats and get a coat out of your luggage before putting it in storage."
(Polonius)

"I had twenty hours between flights from Tashkent to NY so
I saw Istanbul during the day and returned to the airport at
night to sleep and catch my flight out in the morning. I watched
part of a Turkish soccer qualifier at an airport bar and then
moved up to the main level where i was able to spread out on a
few seats. There were several families nearby doing the same
thing. I was woken once by a cleaning lady who was quite nice
and apologetic and security didn't care that i was there
sleeping. The guy at customs did get a kick when he asked me
where i spent the night and i pointed to a corner of the
airport. Wouldn't hesitate to sleep there again."
