Not a Premium Experience but charge Premium Prices.

A bit outdated, poor food and drink choices. Not a Premium lounge but they charge Premium prices, only meat option in the buffet was cheap chicken sausages in a tomato sauce which tasted awful. The food in the "hot buffet" was cold.No variety. The leather on some of the chairs was very worn and some were ripped. Wouldn't go there again. Have been to Airport Lounges all over the world and this was probably one of the worst.

Heidi - High Level Service as Standard !

Expedia had a fault on their app which led to the IGA Istanbul Lounge being confirmed 2 weeks earlier than the chosen date. I was very upset. After 15 minutes on a faulty Livechat,I then had a 45 minute conversation with an agent and his Manager. Both had Malaysian accents but insisted they were in the USA. All this happened just after midnight. I went to sleep with a heavy heart and a lot of distress. I awoke to an email from Expedia's Carmen B and she simply told me the voucher is non refundable. She also lied that she had contacted Trippest to advocate for me. Such poor service and lies,has led me to delete my Expedia account after 10 years. But the reason for this review,is not what Expedia did wrong. It is about what Ms Heidi from Trippest did to put things right ! Her warm caring service began immediately and she kept in touch whilst the issue got resolved. She was nothing less than polite,professional,kind,caring,courteous and focussed on making things right. Ms Heidi,Trippest are extremely lucky to have you as an Ambassador. I wish you every happiness,peace and progress in life. Thank You for turning a highly stressful situation into a calm,easy and bearable one :)

Poor man’s lounge… 10...

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

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

Operator response

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
