CIP Lounge
★3.1(75 reviews)ISB
Islamabad's most flexible international lounge — Priority Pass, SkyTeam and Star Alliance under one roof.
The CIP Lounge is the most flexible lounge at Islamabad International Airport, sitting airside in the international departures area on Level 3 of the passenger terminal. It accepts the widest range of access at ISB: Priority Pass members, SkyTeam Elite Plus status passengers and Star Alliance Gold travellers are all welcome. As a CIP-style business lounge, it offers a calm, seated space away from the main departures hall where you can rest, freshen up and catch up before boarding. Because it covers three different access routes in one place, it's the default recommendation for most international travellers leaving Islamabad who carry a lounge membership or alliance status.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi, some power at seating and seating you can use 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 to keep you going before an international flight. Expect tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks rather than a large self-service restaurant buffet.
