Elite card holders may benefit from the CIP lounges with their family members (spouse and children) or one of their guests while traveling on THY domestic flights and international flights departing from Turkey. Also Elite card holders will from now on able to accommodate their fellow travelers with the same amenities against 50 TL.
QUESTIONS - Would I be able invite the rest of my family members (i.e. parents and sister) to the lounge without charge or will I need to pay 50 TL per additional guest? If the latter, can I just turn up at the lounge and pay the fees to the lounge dragon?
Thank you
According to the rules listed on the website. The 50 TL guest charge is applicable for TK domestic flights only. So your parents and sister would not be able to access the CIP lounge even if you wanted to pay for it.
