Trabzon, Turkey · Middle East
Compact Black Sea DHMİ field 7 km from town: 3.87 million passengers in 2025, a new international arrivals hall from 27 August 2024, no Priority Pass, and a single 2,640 m runway that cannot grow.
An editorial 0–10 score. The overall is exactly the weighted sum of six traveler categories — not a Google rating and not a poll.

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Plan Turkish Airlines’ own 2-hour domestic / 3-hour international buffer; Pegasus TZX check-in is a hard 60-minute close on web, mobile, and the airport desk.
THY counters and kiosks close 45 minutes before domestic departure and 60 minutes before international; online check-in runs 24 hours–90 minutes. Pegasus publishes no TZX kiosk, and international TZX is SMS boarding-pass only — do not assume a last-minute web boarding pass on a Gulf or Europe Pegasus flight. Black Sea banks still bunch at the single security filter.
Drop at the hall on the boarding pass. The domestic CIP is useless once you have cleared into international, and there is no airside walk between the two.
Domestic is the glass İç Hatlar Terminali. International arrivals moved into a new 3,077 m² hall on 27 August 2024 with an 860 m² CIP building; leftover “one terminal does everything” is stale. The replacement airport north of here is a plan, not a live door. Wrong-terminal taxis are the first-timer tax.
Simit, coffee, and café kiosks sit in the domestic landside/airside hall; international holds are thinner. The CIP is the only sit-down product if you already have Miles&Smiles access.
October 2022 terminal photos show Simit Sarayı / simit kiosks on the mezzanine and Çakra café/pastry airside — treat names as leftover-2022, confirm the unit on the day. There is no confirmed McDonald’s or Starbucks map. No Priority Pass food lounge. Buy a sealed bottle before security; DHMİ has not published a fountain list for TZX (a leftover “Trabzon sebili” item is actually Malatya).
Official taxi rank and HAVAŞ are the honest doors. Municipal buses run on the Trabzon–Rize coastal road next to the field; they are not a terminal-forecourt product.
DHMİ: 7 km to the city. Trabzon Büyükşehir taxi tariff from 1 April 2026: flag ₺71.50, ₺58.50/km for the first 5 km, ₺49.40/km after, minimum ₺208. HAVAŞ city and Rize sheets live as DHMİ downloads; call 0850 222 0 487 rather than sitting leftover ₺190/₺270/₺320 aggregator fares. Uber in Trabzon is Taxi, not UberX. Parking: ₺90 first hour / ₺280 per 12–24 h (DHMİ 2026 group A).

The only public lounge product at TZX is this DHMİ domestic CIP. Priority Pass, LoungeKey, and DragonPass do not list Trabzon. International boarding passes cannot use it. Hours and a generic walk-up tariff are unpublished on DHMİ; sit the THY 1,500 TL Classic figure. Showers are not advertised.
