About BUF

Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) keeps its lounge scene simple: there's one lounge in the whole airport, The Club BUF, sitting airside in the single passenger terminal between gates 6 and 7. It's an independent contract lounge rather than an airline flagship — there are no airline or alliance lounges at Buffalo. Access is flexible: The Club BUF welcomes Priority Pass members and also sells a walk-in pass to any passenger for a fee, regardless of cabin or airline, so you can pay per visit without a membership or status. Because it's the only lounge serving the terminal, it can fill at busy departure banks, so arrive with a little buffer and clear security first, as the lounge is past the checkpoint.

Sourced, never sponsored.

This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every Buffalo NY Niagara Intl lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.

Access guide

How to get into lounges at BUF.

The Club BUF takes Priority Pass and also sells a walk-in pass to any passenger for a fee, regardless of cabin or airline — so you can pay per visit even without a membership or status. There are no airline or alliance lounges at the airport, and the lounge is airside, so clear security before heading to it.

Lounge membership
