Guide by

Details checked

At a glance

One of three lounges in Domestic Terminal, and the lowest-rated of them. An elite lounge with a door that keeps the crowds out. It seats around 150, has no bar, and has one shower suite to freshen up in. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access (Star Alliance Gold on a domestic Turkish Airlines flight) and Turkish Airlines Lounge. Entry conditions and availability apply.
