Douala's pay-in lounge — open to every passenger, after security.

About this lounge

The Doualair Business Lounge at Douala International is the airport's pay-per-visit lounge — it welcomes all passengers for a fee, regardless of class of service, so you don't need airline status, Priority Pass or DragonPass to get in. It sits after security, which makes it the natural choice once you've cleared the checkpoint and want somewhere to recharge and relax before boarding. Expect a practical, comfortable space with complimentary snacks and soft drinks and a quieter atmosphere than the gate areas. As the only pay-in lounge we track at DLA, it fills an important gap for travellers without a membership or premium ticket: a way to buy a calmer pre-flight wait at the door. Set expectations for a sensible, no-fuss lounge rather than a luxury one.

Food & drink

Complimentary snacks and soft drinks come with your pay-in entry — a light offering to take the edge off before a flight rather than a full meal. Check on arrival for what's available on the day.
