Hi I will be travelling from Manchester UK to Lahore Pakistan on 8th August 23 on Turkish Air lines. We are 3 persons and have a lay over of about 24 hrs at Istanbul Airport. I have 2 bank cards which have access to IGA Lounge. Can we spend 24 hrs at the Airport as we don’t want to spend money on E Visa and hotel booking. Please guide.

Hi Ferly, The pet policies of lounges can differ from lounge to lounge. The best way to move forward would be to contact the lounge directly.
