On Dulles Airport website it says the operating hours are:
Monday: 8:30am – 8:00pm Tuesday: 8:30am – 12:30pm & 6:00pm – 10:00pm Wednesday: 8:30am – 10:00pm Thursday: 8:30am – 10:00pm Friday: 8:30am – 10:00pm Saturday: 8:30am – 8:00pm Sunday: 8:30am – 10:00pm But you can probably find more relevant information from Turkish Airlines: |

Yes, its open. I had been there two weeks ago. Turkish Airlines is known for the spectacular food in their lounges, and this lounge is no exception. Turkish does a great job spreading out the food selection in the lounge. Usually, people like to sit near the buffet, so by putting food all over the lounge, they avoid that usual crowding problem. The food selection included a mix of self-serve buffets, live cooking stations where you could custom order, and open kitchens where dishes were being prepared, and you could serve yourself.

Interesting that TK is offering a buffet with open serving dishes as that is in direct violation of Virginia law under the declared state of emergency. Wonder if that remains.

See this trip report on another website to see the morning offerings in the Turkish Airlines lounge in IAD. It's definitely better than the UA Club over there, however, no hot food available according to this report.
|
Wanted to bump this thread to give my key takeaways from a March visit to the TK lounge at IAD.
- all pre packaged foods. - bar was not open while I was there and a section going upstairs was roped off. - nice views of planes at the gates by the window. - Glad I came here to grab a sandwich because UA didn’t cater enough sandwiches for first class passengers on my transcon flight. |
Any updates recently? Hoping that the hot buffet has returned for a self-serve breakfast.
|
^^ also interested in any updates :D
|
FWIW, there's at least one highly encouraging (recent) post from a traveler on IG if you search for the place tag "turkish airlines lounge" and pick out the appropriate location (1 Saarinen Cir Concourse B).

Is the shower room at the Turkish IAD lounge open? I saw a YouTube review posted 10 months ago that it was closed post-covid. I didn't want to start a new thread for my question so I thought I'd piggyback this one.
|
No, its not. They have converted it to a storage room for cleaning supplies etc.
If you are flying in TK J, I think you would have access to Polaris Lounge |

If you are flying in TK J, I think you would have access to Polaris Lounge if you wanted showers. However, the TK lounge is full service otherwise -- great hot food, service, full bar, etc |
Will I be able to access the Turkish lounge if my domestic connection from IAD-EWR is in first but my actual Polaris flight is from EWR to Africa? Same day
I have a long layover at IAD so I figure I would lounge hop |

I have a long layover at IAD so I figure I would lounge hol If you don't have *G status, you would not be able to utilize the Turkish Airlines Lounge before flying IAD-EWR. Although, the lounge accepts PriorityPass and some other lounge membership program cards. Also, IMO, the United Polaris Lounge in any destination in the US is much better than the TK Lounge in IAD which could easily get overcrowded before a TK, Qatar and Royal Air Maroc flight. |
