ISG International CIP Lounge is the only Priority Pass lounge in Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW). There was a gantry for guests to scan their entry ‘tickets’ to access the lounge after checking in at the desk. That was interesting as I have never seen anything like it in an airport lounge.

Conclusion

Although the lounge was very busy and there were a few tables with uncleared plates, the food was replenished very quickly and it’s always nice to have hot food with protein instead of just samosas and tarts. The toilet, however, was not well-maintained and there is only one cubicle in the male toilet.
