A calm, earth-toned Star Alliance lounge on the first floor of Terminal 3, after security.

About this lounge

The TAA Lounge offers a tranquil escape from the bustling Julius Nyerere International Airport, on the first floor of Terminal 3, after security. The decor leans on warm earth tones with subtle African-inspired accents for a welcoming yet sophisticated ambiance, while soft, recessed lighting keeps the space comfortable rather than harsh and strategically placed greenery adds a touch of nature. The noise level stays pleasantly low, with only a gentle hum of conversation and the occasional clink of dishes, and comfortable seating areas are arranged for both relaxation and productivity. It's an ideal spot to unwind before your flight, and access is for Star Alliance passengers departing from the newer Terminal 3.
