Turkish Airlines has opened its first-ever European lounge at Edinburgh Airport.
Capitalising on its world-famous lounge at its İstanbul hub, the new space brings another dimension of the airline’s world-renowned hospitality to travellers in Scotland while reinforcing the airport’s growing role as an international gateway.
Türkiye’s flag carrier, which flies to more countries than any other, continues to bring scaled-down slices of its five-star Lounge in İstanbul to its international gateways to maintain a seamless and luxurious experience.
Spanning 673 sqm and accommodating 149 guests, the new lounge offers a premium experience with facilities including an open buffet featuring a Turkish pide service at lunch and dinner; a luxury relaxation area with TVs and Wi-Fi; and two prayer rooms.
The lounge also includes an accessible restroom for the guests with reduced mobility, a baby care room and flight information screens.
“The opening of our new Turkish Airlines Lounge at Edinburgh Airport marks an important milestone for our airline,” says Turkish Airlines Chief Operations Officer M. Akif Konar. “As our first abroad lounge in Europe and our eighth outside of Türkiye, this investment demonstrates our deep commitment to our European operations, where we already possess a strong presence as the best airline* of the continent. Looking ahead, we will continue to build on our presence in the region and bring our award-winning hospitality closer to travellers here.”
Located on Level 2 near gate 16, the lounge will be available to Turkish Airlines Business Class passengers, Miles&Smiles members (Elite, Elite Plus and Elite Corporate Club) travelling in any class, and holders of the carrier’s Miles&Smiles Premier Visa Signature Card issued in the United States. Guests with a Paid Lounge membership card can also enter the lounge ahead of their flight.
Turkish Airlines operates 10 weekly flights between Edinburgh and Istanbul, which allows travellers from Scotland to connect via Turkish Airlines’ unparalleled global network to 356 destinations in 132 countries.
