IST's rest stop — private sleep pods near the D Gates on DragonPass, built for long layovers.
The iGA Sleepod is a dedicated rest space at Istanbul Airport, set airside in the International Terminal next to the D Gates. Unlike the airport's buffet lounges, it's built around sleep — sleek, futuristic sleep pods arranged in neat rows, bathed in soft, calming blue lighting. Soundproofing and a strict quiet policy keep noise impressively low, and the compact space feels organised and efficient with a tech-forward aesthetic. Alongside the pods there's luggage storage, charging stations and flight monitors so you don't miss your connection. Access is on DragonPass, with a two-hour maximum stay. It's the natural choice on a long Istanbul layover when you want to genuinely rest rather than just find a seat, and it pairs well with the nearby iGA lounges for food.
