Turkish Airlines Lounge Miles&Smiles

Istanbul Airport

4.6★★★★★★★★★★

Overall, from 14 metrics

🚪 Gate C1🍸 Beer & wine🚿 10 shower suites🪑 Seats 800

One of three lounges in International Terminal, ranking 2nd among them. An elite lounge lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 800, pours beer and wine, and has ten shower suites to freshen up in. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. It opened in 2019. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access and Turkish Airlines Lounge get you in.
