A 4,000 sq ft Terminal 1 lounge with a hot buffet, prayer room and runway views.

The design is residential in feel: earth tones, natural materials and rose gold CNC-milled dividers that echo Turkish Airlines' current identity. Food is a complimentary hot buffet plus snacks, with halal and vegetarian options, and drinks are complimentary soft drinks. Practical extras are strong: a prayer room, a family room, luggage storage, a conference room, printing and runway views. Turkish Airlines Business passengers and Star Alliance Gold members enter on their ticket or status, Priority Pass members get in on international flights, and you can book a LoungeDeal pass. Hours are 09:00 to midnight daily.
