Where we'd actually go.
Platinum Lounge (International)
The Platinum Lounge (International) is the natural pick for most travellers leaving Çukurova on an international flight. It sits airside on level 2 of the main terminal, opens on DragonPass, and offers a calm contemporary space with runway views before your departure.
Platinum Lounge (Domestic)
The Platinum Lounge (Domestic) is the airside option for domestic departures, on the same level 2 of the main terminal opposite Duty Free. It accepts DragonPass and shares the same sleek Turkish-accented styling and runway outlook as its international sibling.
Turkish Airlines Lounge
The Turkish Airlines Lounge serves Star Alliance passengers and eligible Turkish Airlines flyers on the domestic side at Çukurova. It's a calm, functional space with a TV area and a prayer room — the branded option if your access comes from your airline rather than a lounge membership.

Both are reachable on DragonPass and share the same contemporary, runway-facing design.

How to get into lounges at COV.
Çukurova is a compact, two-route airport for lounge access. DragonPass is the single most useful membership here — it opens both Platinum CIP lounges on the main terminal's airside level. Star Alliance status (or an eligible Turkish Airlines ticket) is the route into the Turkish Airlines Lounge on the domestic side. Always check whether your lounge is the domestic or international Platinum, or the domestic Turkish Airlines Lounge, before you clear security.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the key membership at Çukurova — it's accepted at both Platinum CIP lounges on level 2 of the main terminal, covering domestic and international departures. If you hold DragonPass, it's the most reliable way into a lounge here.
