The worst experience ever! Omg. Shame on IGA management!

David_K, Jul 2026

NEVER GO TO THIS LOUNGE THEY ARE RUDE AGGRESSIVE PIRATES!! This ticket to the IGA Istanbul lounge was bought for my girlfriend on the ViaTour website, a solid respected global provider. however when she waited in line showed the scannable ticket they refused and yelled at her to get out the line that what she showed was no good and that it could only be via the "Application". Well, we had no applicaiton as we bought it on the ViaTour website. Then when she waited in line I asked to speak to them they again yelled at her and refused to speak to me, kicking her out of the line. Shocking. She was crying. Then I tried contacting the IGA "help line" but it was a useless robot. Then tried their Whatsapp phone and their direct phone but calls are not accepted, specifically blocked. then she download the Viatour App and waited in line - but AGAIN they looked at it and yelled at her that her own name was wrong (it was not). Then I called the provider of the ticket (thru Viatour) and they made calls and they verified that her name was indeed correct so my girlfriend waited in line again but they AGAIN refused her entry wrongly yelling that her name was wrong and to immediately LEAVE! TRULY THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! OMG. Insanely aggressive and nasty staff clearly told to behave this way by IGA management. SHAME ON THEM!

Mai_H, Jul 2026

Just don’t! I read the reviews but was still stubborn thinking it wouldn’t be that bad. It was horrible, not worth the money at all. Please don’t be like me, this lounge is a scam!

Poor man’s lounge… 10...

KilHo_L, May 2026

Poor man’s lounge… 10 hours prior, I used ambassador lounge in Changi airport for $34. IGA lounge ($64) quality is so bad that I felt like scammed. Dirty/smelly and limited shower with the worst plastic towel plus heavy traffics with so many people going crazy around buffet… Probably better to spend a little more and get a private room or sleeppod

Consuelo_T, Apr 2026

Space small and crowded, very few armchairs. Buffet acceptable. Pictures do not tell the truth of the lounge.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Consuelo, We sincerely apologize for the crowded conditions you experienced at the IST Lounge. Due to recent adjustments in Middle Eastern transit flights caused by ongoing conflicts, we've seen an increase in airport traffic. We appreciate your understanding as we work to manage these challenges and improve the lounge experience. Your feedback is invaluable, and we remain committed to providing convenient booking services for all our guests. Thank you for your patience. Best regards, Trippest Customer Service Team
