Lifesaver during a long layover

The iGA lounge was worth every penny. The food was incredible, especially the fresh pide. The shower was clean and refreshing after an 8-hour flight. Highly recommend booking in advance through this platform!

Very comfortable and convenient

The QR code entry worked perfectly. No need to wait in line. The Wi-Fi was fast enough for me to take a couple of video calls. The lounge is quite big, so I found a quiet corner easily.

Best airport food I've had

As a frequent traveler, I was impressed by the buffet variety. The Turkish tea and coffee service was a nice touch. It's much better than sitting at the gate for hours.

Smooth transfer and great lounge

We booked both the private transfer and the lounge access. The driver was waiting with our name, and the van was pure luxury. The lounge at IST is world-class.

Great for business travelers

Plenty of charging points and the quiet zone is actually quiet. The only downside was a short wait for the shower during the morning rush, but the staff managed it well.

Relaxing atmosphere

A bit pricey but considering the cost of airport food, the unlimited buffet makes it a good value. The views of the runway from the lounge are fantastic.
