Colombo's Priority Pass and oneworld first-class lounge — distinct dining, relaxation and work zones.

About this lounge

The Lotus First Class Lounge is one of Colombo's more accessible premium lounges, open to Priority Pass members and to oneworld Emerald status holders or first class passengers. It sits airside on the 1st floor of the Pier, adjacent to Gates 6 and 7, after passport control and security. The lounge has sleek modern decor with warm wood accents, soft ambient lighting and large windows over the tarmac, and it's thoughtfully zoned — distinct areas for dining, relaxation and work mean solo travellers and groups can both find a spot. A hot and cold buffet is served alongside a full bar with house wine, beer and liquor, plus soft drinks. Stays are capped at six hours, with up to six guests per cardholder subject to a charge where applicable and to space being available.

A genuine work zone sets this lounge apart, with Wi-Fi, internet and a quiet area kept separate from dining and relaxation. A good place to get focused work done before a flight on a longer connection.

Food & drink

A hot and cold buffet served in a dedicated dining zone, alongside a full bar with house wine, beer and liquor plus soft drinks. A more complete spread than the contract lounges, suited to a proper pre-flight meal.
