IGA Lounge (International)
★4.0(11,646 reviews)IST
IST's SkyTeam access point — an elevated iGA Lounge on Level H for Elite Plus and Business passengers.
The IGA Lounge (International) is the SkyTeam access point at Istanbul Airport, set in an elevated position on Level H in the west wing of the terminal. It serves SkyTeam Elite Plus members and passengers travelling in Business or First class on SkyTeam carriers. The lounge features modern decor with sleek furniture, soft lighting and floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views over the airport. The atmosphere is one of understated elegance — clean lines, comfortable seating areas for both solo travellers and groups, and a moderate noise level. Food runs to quick meals, an action station, appetizers and snacks, with a bar pouring beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks. It's the natural choice for SkyTeam passengers leaving Istanbul who aren't using the Turkish Airlines or contract lounges.
Crowding · comfortable
A comfortable place for light work before a flight, with Wi-Fi, seating and a calm, elevated outlook. Fine for email and reading, though it leans toward relaxing with a view rather than dedicated workstations.
Food centres on an action station serving quick meals, alongside appetizers, snacks and a complimentary cold and hot selection. The bar pours beer, wine and spirits plus soft drinks. The spread suits a pre-flight bite rather than a full sit-down meal, in keeping with the lounge's relaxed, elevated feel.
