Bissau Airport Lounges
Osvaldo Vieira International Airport · Bissau, Guinea-Bissau
Osvaldo Vieira International (OXB) is Guinea-Bissau's main gateway, and its lounges sit in the single main terminal. We track two: an airside Airport Lounge on the second floor for Star Alliance premium passengers, and Salon NAS for oneworld travellers. Access at OXB runs through airline alliance status or a business-class ticket rather than paid day passes.

Where we'd actually go.
Airport lounge
The second-floor Airport Lounge is the Star Alliance option at OXB, open to Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers. It's the more amenity-rich of the two, with a cold spread, a bar and a TV area airside in the main terminal.
Salon NAS
Salon NAS serves oneworld Sapphire status holders and business-class passengers. It's a straightforward, functional airside lounge in the main terminal with Wi-Fi, open around the clock — the right choice if you're flying a oneworld carrier out of Bissau.
Airport lounge
If you just want somewhere calm before boarding, the second-floor Airport Lounge is the quieter of the two, with clustered seating, soft lighting and runway views well above the busier terminal floor — provided you hold Star Alliance Gold or a business-class ticket.

Both lounges admit passengers by alliance status or a business-class ticket: the Airport Lounge through Star Alliance, and Salon NAS through oneworld. There's no published walk-in day pass at OXB, so your route in depends on the airline you're flying and your frequent-flyer tier.
