How to get into lounges at JIB.
Djibouti is a compact airport with two airside lounges and two clear ways in. The Beira Lounge is reachable on a DragonPass membership or Star Alliance and oneworld airline status, while the Dunya VIP Lounge sells a pay-in visit at the door. There's no Priority Pass coverage here, so if you don't hold DragonPass or qualifying status, the pay-in route is your option. Both lounges are airside, so clear passport control and security first.
DragonPass
DragonPass opens the Beira Lounge, the larger of Djibouti's two lounges. It's the single most useful membership at JIB — present your DragonPass with your boarding pass at the lounge on level 2, airside.
DragonPassAirline & alliance status
Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire status holders, and passengers travelling in business class on those alliances, can use the Beira Lounge. Access follows your tier and ticket rather than a separate lounge membership.
Star Alliance
oneworldWalk-in pay-in entry
The Dunya VIP Lounge welcomes pay-in guests at the door, so you can buy a single visit without a membership or airline status. Check the latest door price on arrival, as this lounge is the pay-per-visit route at JIB.
Business class ticket
A business-class ticket on a Star Alliance or oneworld carrier gets you into the Beira Lounge directly — the simplest route if you're flying premium out of Djibouti, with no separate membership needed.
