How much is C-VIP Transit at Istanbul Airport?

C-VIP Transit costs €1,860 per guest, VAT included, and covers up to 4 hours in the private terminal between flights. The price includes the gate greeting, private transfers, coordinated formalities, lounge dining, a 30-minute complimentary SPA session and the escort to your onward flight. Infants are free.

What does the C-VIP Transit service include?

You are met at the arrival gate, transferred privately to the C-VIP Terminal and taken through dedicated fast-track security. Re-check and boarding assistance are provided, with passport control coordinated if required. You get the private lounge for up to 4 hours with à la carte or buffet dining, a 30-minute SPA session, real-time coordination of both flights and a personal escort to the departure gate or aircraft.

Who meets me when I land at IST for a connecting flight?

Your guest agent meets you as you leave the aircraft. A private car or buggy then takes you to the C-VIP Terminal, away from the busy connection corridors of the main terminal, and your agent stays with you until you are delivered to your onward flight.

Do I need to go through passport control during a C-VIP transit?

It depends on your ticket and itinerary. Security screening is always completed on the fast-track route, and passport control is coordinated for you only if your connection requires it. You remain responsible for holding valid travel documents; if you are unsure, check with your airline or ask the concierge before you fly.

What happens to my checked bags when I connect through the C-VIP Terminal?

Your agent coordinates the re-check of bags and boarding passes where your connection needs it. Let the concierge know in advance whether your luggage is checked through to your final destination or has to be re-checked in Istanbul, so the handling can be planned around your layover.

What if my layover at Istanbul Airport is longer than 4 hours?

The C-VIP Transit package covers up to 4 hours in the private terminal. For longer connections, contact the 24/7 concierge on +90 541 534 33 44 or [email protected] before booking so the team can advise on the options for your itinerary. Meeting room rental, fine dining and additional SPA treatments are available at extra cost.

What if my inbound flight is late and my connection gets tight?

Your agent tracks both flights in real time and adjusts the timing as needed, so a late arrival shortens your lounge time rather than your connection. If a missed connection cannot be avoided, rebooking is handled by your airline; delays caused by airlines or authorities are outside our control under the Terms and Conditions.

What details do I need to book C-VIP Transit online?

You need the lead passenger's name, e-mail and phone number, both the arriving and departing flight numbers with their dates and times, and the number of adults and infants. Pay by card through the secure checkout and your booking is confirmed by e-mail. Online bookings must be made at least 3 hours before the flight.

What is the difference between C-VIP Transit and Very VIP Transit?

C-VIP Transit (€1,860 per guest) gives up to 4 hours in the private lounge with à la carte or buffet dining and a 30-minute SPA session. Very VIP Transit (€1,800 per guest) gives up to 3 hours with lounge buffet service. Both include private transfers and personal assistance, so the choice mostly comes down to layover length and dining.
