Excel Lounge

Banjul's Star Alliance lounge — a calm, contemporary retreat above the terminal floor.
The Excel Lounge is Banjul International's Star Alliance lounge, set on the upper level of the main terminal above the bustle of the floor below. It's a sleek, contemporary retreat: warm ambient lighting casts a relaxing glow over modern furnishings, subtle background music keeps the mood calm, and a TV area offers some distraction for travellers who want it. Noise levels stay consistently low, which makes the lounge well suited to relaxation or focused work before a flight, and the clean lines and minimalist decor lend an overall sense of calm and sophistication. Access is through Star Alliance rather than the contract-lounge memberships that open the airside lounges, so it's the natural choice for Star Alliance passengers departing Banjul.

With consistently low noise, warm lighting and modern furnishings, the Excel Lounge is one of the better spots at Banjul for focused work or email before a flight, helped by its calm position above the terminal floor.
The Excel Lounge is a calm, contemporary space; catering is on the lighter side, with refreshments and soft drinks to see you through before a flight. Check current service on the day, as the offering is modest rather than a full hot buffet.
