Izmir Airport, Domestic Terminal

Lounge Signage

If you did not use the fast track service (like me), you'd see a sign after clearing security that the lounge is located to the right, towards gate 161-162 and gates 236-242.

After a few minutes walk, there is a sign prompting you to turn right and take the escalator down.

If in case you took the fast track lane, then this is what you would see after security.

CONCLUSION

Having visited recently the Turkish Airlines lounges in Izmir, I have to say that I was really impressed. This lounge has a modern design and even if it is not really that big, it did not get crowded at all during my entire visit. This is probably because there is much lesser passengers who have access here since this is only for business class passengers and those with Elite Plus status on Turkish Airlines. The lounge beside it (Classic Plus & Elite Lounge) on the other hand was a bit crowded during my visit since it is for those with Elite and Classic Plus status on Turkish Airlines. Otherwise the food were identical in both lounges and the facilities were also the same. The staff were also friendly and making sure that they clear the tables once the guests have left. Overall, this is a very nice lounge and is definitely worth a visit if you have access.
