Turkish Airlines officially opened its largest international lounge outside of Istanbul in Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on Feb. 5. The lounge marks the airline’s seventh lounge overseas.

Situated in Terminal 1 South Wing, Satellite 4, Gate 47, Turkish Airlines Lounge at Narita is open to the public following the completion of its first phase, with plans for its second phase soon underway.

Within the lounge, guests can expect a buffet-style selection of Turkish, Japanese and Far Eastern cuisines. In fact, the lounge is the only Turkish Airlines lounge outside of Istanbul with a Turkish pide oven, serving freshly baked pide for lunch and dinner. Other lounge features include relaxation areas, daybeds with apron views and a V.I.P. room for enhanced privacy.

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
