Turkish Airways Lounge
Living it up in luxury on our layover in Istanbul airportGreetings from Istanbul Airport! Today we left Lodz at 8:30AM, local time. Before leaving we had a wonderful Christmas Day breakfast with Family. It included a lot of Polish fresh ham, traditional vegetable salad, pickles, herrings and other Polish foods. As tradition goes, ‘the fish must swim’ so we had a few shots of Krupnik, special honey vodka made in Poland.
It took us a bit more than 2 hours to arrive at the Okecie airport in Warsaw, where we easily checked in – we were especially happy to be able to get our bags forwarded directly to Mumbai, as we are switching seating classes on two separate tickets – flying economy WAW-IST and then business Istanbul-Mumbai.
We are currently sitting in the Turkish Airlines lounge in Istanbul Airport and it is truly amazing. The food is outstanding; they have a cinema, playstation area and lots of other goodies. See picture below!
Excited to get to India, where we land very early in the am (4:15AM!) and then take a 4 hour car to Surat for our friend’s Pankil wedding. We have our Indian outfits ready – the same ones we received from Ravi’s parents for his brother’s wedding in Philadelphia. It should be an unforgettable experience to attend a friend’s wedding in India.
