About this lounge

A grand piano greets you as you enter the iGA Lounge, which operates 24/7 across a very large, multi-section space in Istanbul Airport's International Terminal.

This bustling lounge has an impressive array of amenities, including showers (subject to availability), relaxation areas, an outdoor smoking terrace, business facilities, a kids play area, prayer rooms, a TV lounge area, games, a bar, and multiple dining areas.

Food comes from both a self-service buffet and staffed live-cooking stations that remain open throughout the night. Turkish pide is baked at a dedicated counter, and a live noodle station operates continuously alongside Turkish BBQ chicken and a Mediterranean-style cold spread of salads and fresh fruit. You might also find pastries and baklava, with hot dishes rotating through the service. The bar is staffed and pours beer, wine, spirits, and fresh coffee, with self-serve coolers and hot drinks available throughout the lounge.

Luggage lockers are provided near the entrance to the lounge, so you don't have to carry your belongings with you during your stay. There is even a duty-free shop within the lounge for guests to indulge in retail therapy.

With showers, plenty of food and drink options, and an impressive variety of facilities for resting, working or entertaining yourself, the iGA International Lounge is ideal for travelers with a long layover at Istanbul Airport.

A small number of lounges may also refuse entry to guests below the legal drinking age, even when traveling with a parent or guardian, due to local alcohol licensing laws. In some destinations (including parts of Canada), this legal age is 19. Age rules vary by lounge and location, so please check the lounge-specific entry details above before purchase.
: Yes. You can buy multiple Lounge Passes in one order, and each guest gets their own voucher to present at the lounge. For groups of 9 or more, most lounges need advance notice so they can manage capacity on the day. Before buying, email us at support@loungepair.com with your travel date, time, flight number and group size, and we'll confirm arrangements with the lounge for you. Group bookings made without prior confirmation may be subject to lounge approval on the day, and our refund policy applies to those passes.
