Turkish Airlines Lounge Istanbul
★4.3(3,581 reviews)ESB
A standalone domestic CIP terminal at Esenboğa — its own check-in, baggage drop and security.
The Turkish Airlines domestic CIP Lounge at Ankara Esenboğa is unusual in that it sits in a separate standalone terminal, a few hundred metres away from the main terminal building. Unlike the Turkish Airlines international lounge, which is inside the main terminal, the domestic CIP operates from its own CIP terminal with full check-in, baggage drop and security facilities. That means there is no need to check in at the main terminal first — you can process your whole domestic departure from the CIP building. Inside, it is a calm, private space designed for a relaxed pre-flight wait, with complimentary soups, finger food and soft drinks. Because it is physically separate from the main terminal, it is worth allowing a little extra time to reach it, but in return you get a quieter, more self-contained departure experience for domestic flights.
