Where we'd actually go.
Earth Lounge
The Earth Lounge in the International Terminal has the widest access at COK — Priority Pass, SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld all get you in — and it's the most fully featured lounge at the airport, with a buffet, shower facilities and runway views. The default choice for most international departures.
Earth Lounge (International)
The Earth Lounge (International) is the DragonPass route into the same International Terminal lounge, airside on level 2 after passport control and security. A reliable option if you carry DragonPass rather than Priority Pass or alliance status.
Earth Lounge (Domestic)
The Earth Lounge (Domestic) is the only lounge on the domestic side, airside on the 2nd floor of Terminal 1. It runs on DragonPass and serves complimentary snacks and drinks, including beer, wine and spirits — the go-to before a domestic departure from Kochi.

How to get into lounges at COK.
Cochin keeps things simple — every lounge is an Earth Lounge, and the access route depends on which terminal you're in. The International Terminal lounge takes the widest set of credentials (Priority Pass, DragonPass and three airline alliances), while the Domestic Terminal lounge runs on DragonPass. Always match your lounge to the terminal you're flying from, as domestic and international are separate buildings.
Priority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the International Terminal Earth Lounge, the airport's flagship lounge airside after immigration and security. It does not cover the Domestic Terminal lounge, so check your terminal before relying on it.
Priority PassDragonPass
DragonPass is the most broadly useful membership at COK — it opens both the International Terminal Earth Lounge and the Domestic Terminal Earth Lounge. If you carry DragonPass, you're covered whichever side you're flying from.
DragonPassAirline & alliance status
SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld status passengers can use the International Terminal Earth Lounge on an eligible flight. This is the alliance route into the same flagship lounge that Priority Pass and DragonPass also reach.

DragonPass is the safe bet
