IGA Pass is the official fast track programme run by Istanbul Airport, from single-use options to annual memberships.
IGA Pass Daily is the most practical option for passengers who fly once or twice a year. Sold at €120+VAT, this package is single-use and valid for 1 year from purchase. It includes fast track (quick security clearance), lounge access, in-terminal buggy service and priority check-in.
If you only want to enter the lounge, you can buy lounge access without fast track. For domestic flights you pay ₺2,500+VAT (child ₺1,250+VAT); for international flights €104.17+VAT (child aged 7-12 €52.08+VAT). The full single-entry price list is on our lounge prices page.
For frequent flyers, annual packages are a much more economical option. There are three annual packages:
November 2026 campaign: From 1 to 30 November 2026, IGA applies a discount only to new annual memberships: Plus €494.10, Extra €636.65, Premium €839.20 (+VAT; codes PLUS10, EXTRA15, PREMIUM20). Details are on igapass.com.
One thing to watch with annual packages: each package may include a different number of guest allowances and usage limits. Before buying, we recommend working out how often you fly to decide which package suits you best.

Why TAV Passport's fast track does not apply at Istanbul Airport.
TAV Passport (currently called TAV Passport Classic) is the multi-airport programme of TAV Airports. Its official fast track points are Ankara Esenboğa, İzmir Adnan Menderes, Dalaman and Bodrum Milas (and, abroad, Ercan, Medina and Muscat); Istanbul Airport is not on this list. The membership fee is not officially published; the current price can be learned via the call centre or the app. The programme's benefits include fast track, access to nearly 400 lounges worldwide, valet parking and transfer services.
TAV Passport stands out as an alternative for business travellers who regularly use several airports. However, since Istanbul Airport is not among its official fast track points, IGA Pass is the better choice for passengers who only use Istanbul Airport.
Buying IGA Pass services and getting the most from them.
You can buy IGA Pass services on the official igapass.com website or at the IGA Pass counters at Istanbul Airport. After an online purchase, your ticket and QR code are sent to your email address. When you arrive at the airport, you can use the fast track lane by showing the QR code on your phone. For TAV Passport, you can apply for an annual membership at tavpassport.com.
