A SkyTeam and DragonPass lounge airside on Level 2 near Gate 17 of Terminal 1A.
Pride Lounge is an independent contract lounge airside in Terminal 1A at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. After clearing passport control and security, you pass Duty Free, turn left towards Gate 17 and take the stairs or elevator up to Level 2. It accepts SkyTeam status and DragonPass access, which suits Kenya Airways and other SkyTeam passengers as well as DragonPass members. The lounge offers a contemporary, comfortable setting with a mix of seating zones, complimentary snacks and drinks, and free Wi-Fi — a quieter place to wait than the Terminal 1A concourse before a long-haul departure.
