A calm, batik-accented SkyTeam lounge in Kualanamu's international departure hall.
The Saphire Mandai Lounge offers a calm retreat from the bustling international departure hall at Medan Kualanamu. Open to SkyTeam passengers, its decor blends modern minimalism with subtle Indonesian accents — warm wood tones and batik-inspired textiles — while soft, ambient lighting keeps the atmosphere soothing. A buffet and bar cover food and drink, and a TV room provides a livelier corner for sports fans, while quieter zones suit unwinding or light work. Noise levels are generally low and the lounge stays clean and orderly, though it can get moderately busy during peak hours. Overall it balances function with a genuine touch of local culture before an international flight.

A workable spot for email and light tasks before a flight, with Wi-Fi and general seating. It isn't a dedicated business lounge, but the quieter zones suit short work sessions.
A buffet covers hot and cold dishes alongside a bar serving soft and alcoholic drinks, plus coffee, tea and soft drinks. The spread suits a pre-flight meal or a light snack before an international departure from Medan.
