Domestic CIP Lounge
★3.1(75 reviews)ISB · Main Terminal · airside
Islamabad's domestic lounge by the C-gates — DragonPass access for flights within Pakistan.
The Domestic CIP Lounge is Islamabad International Airport's option for travellers flying within Pakistan. It sits airside in front of boarding gates C3 and C4, so it's close to the domestic gates and easy to reach once you've cleared security. Access is on DragonPass, which makes it a straightforward choice if you hold that membership and are departing on a domestic flight. As a CIP-style business lounge, it offers a calmer seated space than the open gate areas, with refreshments and Wi-Fi to settle in before boarding. If you're connecting from a domestic flight onto an international departure, remember you'll move to the international departure area, where the other ISB lounges sit.
Crowding · moderate
A workable spot before a domestic 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 domestic flight. Expect tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks rather than a large self-service restaurant buffet.
