Where we'd actually go.
Pearl Lounge
The Pearl Lounge near Gate 6 is the most broadly useful option at CNN — it takes DragonPass and walk-in entry, runs all day rather than the shorter domestic/international hours, and adds shower facilities and a children's play area. A solid all-rounder once you're airside in Terminal 1.
Pearl Lounge Domestic
Pearl Lounge Domestic sits in the domestic security hold area near Gate 1A and is the Priority Pass option for travellers on home-bound flights. It has a quiet area, a games room and a separate children's play space, plus a hot buffet.
Pearl Lounge International
Pearl Lounge International is in the international security hold area near Gate 7 and serves passengers on international flights only. Reachable on Priority Pass or as a walk-in, it offers a hot buffet, snacks, showers and a calm space before a long-haul departure.

Kannur International Airport lounges by terminal.
Terminal 1
Kannur runs from a single passenger terminal, and all three Pearl Lounges sit airside within it, past security and passport control. The general Pearl Lounge is near Gate 6 on DragonPass; the domestic and international Pearl Lounges sit in their own security hold areas — domestic near Gate 1A, international near Gate 7 — and both take Priority Pass. Because the lounges sit in separate airside zones, choose the one that matches whether you're flying domestic or international before you clear security.

How to get into lounges at CNN.
Kannur's lounge access is straightforward — the three Pearl Lounges are split between two membership networks. The general Pearl Lounge takes DragonPass, while the domestic and international Pearl Lounges take Priority Pass in their respective security hold areas. All three are purchasable, so you can also walk in and pay per visit without any membership or airline status.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at the general Pearl Lounge near Gate 6 in Terminal 1. If DragonPass is your membership, that's the lounge to head for once you're airside; the domestic and international Pearl Lounges run on Priority Pass instead.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass opens both the Pearl Lounge Domestic (security hold area near Gate 1A) and the Pearl Lounge International (security hold area near Gate 7). Use whichever matches your flight — domestic or international — as the two sit in separate airside zones.
Priority PassWalk-in day pass
All three Pearl Lounges sell entry at the door, so you can pay per visit without a membership or airline status. This is the simplest route if you don't carry DragonPass or Priority Pass and just want a quieter spot before your flight.
Shower & rest facilities
Each Pearl Lounge has shower facilities, Wi-Fi and a hot buffet, and the domestic and international lounges add a quiet area, a games room and a separate children's play space — useful if you're travelling with family or freshening up between flights.
