Airport CIP Lounge

Islamabad's Star Alliance CIP lounge on the 1st floor of the departure hall.
The Airport CIP Lounge is a CIP-style business lounge at Islamabad International Airport, located airside on the 1st floor of the departure hall. It's reachable on Star Alliance status, so it's the natural option for Star Alliance Gold passengers leaving Islamabad. After clearing immigration and security, the lounge is a short walk up to the first floor, where it offers a quieter seated space than the open departure hall, with refreshments and Wi-Fi to settle into before boarding. Like the other lounges at ISB, it's a business-lounge environment focused on a comfortable wait rather than a large restaurant offering.
Crowding · moderate
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi, some power at seating and seating usable for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though it isn't a dedicated business centre.
A CIP-style business-lounge spread with hot and cold drinks and light refreshments before a flight. Expect tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks rather than a large self-service restaurant buffet.
