Muscat's Star Alliance Gold lounge — a quiet, Arabian-inspired space behind passport control.
The Premium Plaza Lounge is Muscat International's Star Alliance lounge, sitting in the departures area behind passport control. It serves Star Alliance Gold status passengers and those travelling in business class on an eligible carrier. The space features an elegant Arabian-inspired design with warm, earthy tones and soft lighting, and large windows let in natural light and offer views over the airport tarmac. It keeps a quiet, calm atmosphere that suits both relaxation and focused work, with plush seating thoughtfully arranged to provide privacy and space between tables. The overall feel is sophisticated yet welcoming, and the lounge is open around the clock to match Muscat's late and early departure banks. For Star Alliance travellers it's the natural choice; passengers on other memberships or alliances are better served by the Primeclass or Majan lounges.
