Salon VIP Assistance Express
BKO
Bamako's airside walk-in salon — pay per visit after security.
Salon VIP Assistance Express is the airside walk-in lounge at Bamako-Sénou International, in the international terminal after security — take the stairs or elevator to the first floor. It accepts walk-up pay-in customers, so you don't need Priority Pass, DragonPass or airline status to get in. Being airside, it's the pay-per-visit option to use once you've cleared the checkpoint and want somewhere to recharge before boarding, complementing the landside Salon Taoussa. The salon serves a complimentary hot buffet with snacks, and a full bar covering soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor. For travellers without a membership who have already passed security, it's the straightforward way into a Bamako lounge near the gates.
