How to get into lounges at NLT.
Nalati keeps things simple — there's one lounge, and two ways in. DragonPass members are welcome, and the lounge also sells walk-in entry so you can pay per visit without any membership. Because the room is behind a controlled door landside, you'll contact the staff number listed at the lounge on arrival and a member of staff opens it for you.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at the Nalati VIP Lounge — the main membership route in. Present your DragonPass card or digital membership when staff open the door for you.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
The VIP Lounge sells pay-per-visit entry, so you can use it without DragonPass or airline status. It's the simplest option if you just want a quiet seat, a snack and a soft drink before your flight.
Access by staff door
The lounge sits behind a controlled door on the second floor of the departure hall, so it isn't always staffed on sight. Contact the staff number posted at the lounge on arrival and a member of staff will open the door to admit you.
