It seems that only revenue tickets get access. http://www.staralliance.com/en/benefits/status-benefits/lounge-access-policy/

I was on award tickets before and got in.. As well as other people I know were on award tickets and got into * Alliance lounges as well. (Business Class Award Tickets)

What cc (if there's any) would get me access to a/the lounge is IST?
I'll be having a 3 1/2 hour layover and I'd rather sit in a lounge.
TIA!
