After flying Turkish Airlines’ Airbus A350 business class from Chicago to Istanbul, I visited the Turkish Airlines Lounge. While I’ve reviewed this lounge before, I was looking forward to checking out one unique amenity that was recently added, which sure indulges us avgeeks!

Very cool! Am I the only one who much preferred the old TK lounge though? Every time I've been to the new one it's outrageously crowded and all of the food has extremely long lines...
It’s My favorite lounge . I make sure my connection is more than 6 hours so I can take advantage of reserving a private room to sleep for 2-4 hours then take a nice warm shower for 1/2 hour & then after that to variety of food selection..

100% the old lounge was miles and more (hah) ahead of the new one, which is still fantastic by global standards of course. never felt crowded out in the old one, that's for sure. also never had food run out with a wait required there.
If you like that, go visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago when you go there for your AV Geek Blogger's Seminar in September. It has tons of interactive things like the Globe in Turkey. Fascinating, one-of-a-kind museum.
I'd buy a commercial version of that product. I could imagine a hardware company using the data from a "pro" subscription to flightradar24. That'd be neat.
Would've been a power play to show all aircraft on the globe, but only the TK aircraft in colour (the rest in grey, black, or white).
In a few years time - "We've got 800 aircraft. Try us, Air India!"
In the future, a third lounge called lounge exclusive will be opened in IST. There will be 3 international lounge; miles and smiles, business and exclusive. You can see location of new lounge from the turkish airlines website istanbul airport terminal map.
The AA Museum outside of DFW has something similar. Not as interactive, but I believe it showed where all AA flights were at the moment.
