Hi,
We spent a long weekend at Istanbul Ataturk, below an impression what could be seen (Turkish and Atlasjet/Atlasglobal not mentioned)

As the biz ramp cannot be seen from the shopping mall we decided to take a taxi to the Radisson Blu (not our hotel this trip) and hoping to get some views from a higher floor.
Turned out no windows on the corridor with views, luckily one room got cleaned so we kindly asked the cleaner for 1 minute to look thru the window which was OK.
A walk to the foodbridge close to the hotel with another view and both sides of the biz ramp were covered. Too bad the hangars were closed.
