A range of premium passengers can now refuel and unwind in the lounge before their flight, including Miles&Smiles Elite, Elite Plus, and Elite Corporate cardholders, as well as Star Alliance Gold members and business class passengers with Turkish Airlines or any other Star Alliance member airline. The lounge is open every day from 7:30 AM to 9:45 PM.
The new space features all the amenities that premium travelers have come to expect from an airport lounge, including shower rooms, restrooms, and a baby care room, as well as Turkish Airlines’ free Wi-Fi, flight information boards, and a dedicated workspace for business travelers.
Other features include designated relaxation areas, daybeds with views of the airport apron, and a private VIP room for exclusive guests.
Food and Beverage
The lounge’s design takes elements from Turkish and Japanese traditions, while the food and beverages on offer include a buffet of cuisines inspired by both countries and food from the wider Far East region.
