Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CIP VIP terminal worth the money?
For business путешественникs, families with babies, or anyone who values time — absolutely. You save 30-45 minutes of queuing in peak season, and the experience is luxurious. For budget путешественникs on a direct charter flight, the regular lounge or gate area is fine.
Can I use Priority Pass at Antalya Airport?
Yes — the Primeclass Lounge in the international departures area accepts Priority Pass. Check your credit card benefits — many premium cards include Priority Pass membership for free.
Do I need to book the CIP service in advance?
Yes — CIP should be booked at least 24 hours in advance. We can arrange CIP access as part of your transfer package.
