Where we'd actually go.
Majestic Lounge
The Majestic Lounge has the widest access of any KHI lounge — DragonPass, Priority Pass and oneworld all get you in — and sits airside in the international terminal after security. With a hot and cold buffet, a prayer room and a family zone, it works for the most travellers without a specific airline or card.
Marhaba - Premium Lounge
The Marhaba Premium Lounge pairs a complimentary hot buffet with a children's play area, a prayer room and runway views. Reachable on DragonPass or Priority Pass in the international terminal, it's the most family-friendly pay-in option at Karachi.
CIP Lounge and Satellite Lounge
The CIP and Satellite Lounge serves oneworld Sapphire and business-class passengers in the Jinnah Terminal, and is the most fully equipped lounge at KHI — showers, seating pods, waiter service and runway views, open 24 hours.
The Prestige Lounge
The Prestige Lounge is the only lounge on Karachi's domestic side, airside in the Domestic Departure satellite area. Reachable on DragonPass or Priority Pass, it covers travellers the international-terminal lounges can't.

How to get into lounges at KHI.
Karachi is a DragonPass and Priority Pass airport first — those two memberships open the most lounges, including the Majestic and Marhaba lounges on the international side and The Prestige Lounge on the domestic side. Alliance status reaches the CIP-style lounges (Star Alliance, oneworld and SkyTeam each have one), and PIA premium passengers use the Business Plus Lounge. Most lounges are airside, so clear passport control and security first.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at the widest set of KHI lounges — the Majestic and Marhaba lounges in the international terminal and The Prestige Lounge on the domestic side. It's the single most useful membership to carry here.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass works at the same independent contract lounges as DragonPass — Majestic and Marhaba (international) and The Prestige Lounge (domestic). Check the per-lounge page to confirm your card and terminal before you travel.
Priority PassAirline & alliance lounges
Each major alliance has its own CIP-style lounge in the Jinnah Terminal: Star Alliance Gold and business-class passengers use the Master Management lounge, oneworld Sapphire flyers the CIP and Satellite Lounge, and SkyTeam Elite Plus the CIP Lounge. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.

Know before you go.
Lead with DragonPass or Priority Pass
- —The Majestic, Marhaba and Prestige lounges all take both DragonPass and Priority Pass — either membership covers the widest field at KHI.
- —Many Karachi lounges are independent contract lounges rather than airline-branded, so the membership you carry matters more than your airline.
International vs domestic
- —Almost every lounge is in the international Jinnah Terminal — the only domestic option is The Prestige Lounge.
- —Most lounges sit airside, after passport control and security, so clear the checkpoint before heading for the lounge.
- —If you're connecting domestic-to-international at Karachi, plan the terminal change into your transfer time.
Match the alliance to the lounge
- —Star Alliance, oneworld and SkyTeam each have a separate CIP-style lounge — check your alliance before you pick one.
- —The oneworld CIP and Satellite Lounge is the most fully equipped, with showers and seating pods, and runs 24 hours.
- —PIA premium passengers have their own Business Plus Lounge past Duty Free.
Give yourself time
- —Karachi check-in, immigration and security can be slow at peak — arrive early and don't bank on a long lounge stay.
- —Lounges fill around the evening international departure bank; go earlier if you want a quiet seat.
- —Most lounges cap stays at around three hours, so time your visit to your boarding.
